Services from O a. IN, Until Night

opening IL nau' yesterday tne hHlu
services were attended by about 1000
people, and they were "a interesting
and impressive as any services held on
the grounds in recent years, The day
was perfect, the sun bright, the air like
a tonic, and this brought in all the res-
idents OF the surrounding country who
could possibly get there.
The exercises OF the day began at 8
q. M, a prayer service being held in the
Young Peoples temple for ono hour.
The time was devoted TO earnest prayer,
aong and applications for the aucGess
OF the days services,
At $3.50 a. M, general class meeting
was held at the same place, and was
largely attended.
Prof. L, o. Excel opened up the
morning service at l0:45 q. M, with the
doxology, after which Rev. q. u, Stuart
made the announcements OF the day,
disclaiming any responsibility for the
reports circulated by outside people
that Rev. Sam Jones was to preach at
tho grounds yesterday.
Rev. ]. 7. McFerren, OF Chattanooga,
preached powerful and eloquent ser
mon on "Christ crucifed, selecting his
text xtfrom First Corinthians, first chap
ter, twenty.third to twenty.fourth
verses:
"But we preach Christ crucifed, unto
the Jews aBtumbling block, and unto
tho Greeks foolishuess; but unto them
which are both Jews and Greeks, Christ,
tho power Of God, and the wisdom OF
God"
He said this is the only gospel. Take
Christ out OF it and it is void. To get
the divine personality wo must become
Goldman, for wo owe every thing to
God. When men hear the gospel they
are never the same afterwards. 1t
teaches that men should obey the laws
laid down by God He closed with the
remark that Christ crucided is not only
tho wisdom Of God. but the power of
God, The principal end OF the universe
is Gods love. Love is the king OF tho
divine attributes aud the divinest arrow
in all Gods quiver.
In the afternoon at 8 o'clock Rev.
George Stuart, of Cleveland, Tenn,
co-worker with Sam Jones, preached an
interesting sermon to another large
congregation, from the text in Genesis,
eighteenth chapter, nineteenth verse:
"For know him, that he will COM
mand his children and mis- houses
hold alter him, and they shall keep the
way OF the Lord. to do justice and
judgment; that the Lord may bring
upon Abraham that which H6 hath
spoken of him."
From this he drew beautiful word
picture of the ideal home OF Christians,
the basis being then, when God was
building q nation and made the home
the foundation. He illustrated his
points throughout the sermon with
amusing anecdotes and pathetic sto-
ries. Tho sermon was followed by all
present with intense interest, and vast
pronounced by many the strongest
ever delivered on the grounds.
Not the least interesting Of themany
services conducted on tho grounds wUs
the young peoples meeting at the tenI-
pie, at five o'clock in tho afternoo,n.
Miss s. Wray had charge, assisted Try
Rev. ]. Sumner Stone, both OF NetE
York. Miss Wray has already gainedia
strong hold on tho young peoples affeti-
1ion by her sympathetic manner and
tho interest she takes in them.
At 1880 p: m. nearly 1000 people con-
gregated in the auditorium. when Prf,h
Excel led the opening services with the
song, "Rock OF Ages" After an earnest
prayer by DR.. Stuart. announcements
were made OF the following days BDr-
viCos. Miss S. Wray. OF New York,
thpn made very effective and ello-
quont appeal to the young people, who
are nearest to her heart and work.. to
give themselves up to the service Of
Cod. She especially desired these be-
ginners in life to Join in and attend the
meetings at the temple and assist her
in hor efforts to bring them before the
throne Of God.
Prof. l. G. Excel followed with q
pleasing solo, "What Will You Do2"
RoV. Dr.. Stuart, before taking up hia
sermon, which was devoted to "Mother,
Wife and Daughter,H suggested very
sensibly that religion would not save
people from taking cold. .and'told the
auditors to put on their wraps and
hats II they desired. Many followed
tho advice on account Of tho coolness Of
tho evening. This gained him the
sympathy OF the congregation, and the
sermon was followed with the CLOSEST
attention. Proverbs, first chapter, verse
l5: "Who can find a,virtuous womanf
for her price Is far above rubies."
Virtue is an historical word. At opoi
age itmeantbravery, at another honesty,
later chastity, that which Is the best Of
everything.
