The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1893-08-16


i, suffering much from dry weather,
the camp ground is remarkably free
from dust The cutting OF the trees
back has stimulated the grass, and
while the shade is not so dense as in
the past, this is moro than compensated
for by tho increased vitality OF the
grass,
fho largest and most enthusiastic
service OF the season was that in the
young peoples temple yesterday morn
ingat6 o'clock, under the leadership Of
Mr. Miller, OF Wheeling, and it gave
promise OF another good day.
The general class at tho same place
was also tho largest Of the season thus
lar and the many earnes prayers and
testimonies bore witness to tho good
work that is going on,
il was with genuine pleasure that
tho audience that gathered in the
auditorium at tho 1880 service learned
that Rev. DR., McFarren was to address
them, and Ii ever preacher had the
sympathy and attention oil an audience
no did, and Us u result many friends
were added to the host he already had.
!lo selected Kings 6:l7 as his text;
And Elisha said, Lord, open his eyes
tha, he may see"
lie preached sermon that will linger
in the minds OF his hearers long alter
lie las departed, stating that the great
difference between tho prophet and the
yoaRa man, and In fact between men OF
all ages, was net due 40 much to wealth,
position or education as TO the ability
to soc and grasp the hidden truths OF
Gods universe aud the deep spiritual
meaning OF Gods word. lie proceeded
to apply this to practical life.
The young man, though smart and
capablennd quick discern the temporal
things Of life, was filed with fear, while
the prophet looking forward through
the apparent difficulties, saw the hosts
OF God arrayed on the side of truth and
right and grasping the situation the
prophet prayed not for moro power,
but that the young men might see the
things that werO already prepared for
their deiences.
This prophet prayed-this man with
such past as no had, who had raised
the dead, filled the widows cruise OF oil,
God DO thanked for the emergency
that drives men to pray to God. What
We need is the ability to see. Lack OF
sight causes fear and trembling. Fear
throws US oil our guard and renders US
an easy prey to the enemy. We fear
tue difficulties OF life, which are often
more apparent that real. No two per.
sons see Just alike, rs witness the differ.
ence OF testimony Of sworn witnesses
who are DESTROYS OF telling the truth.
What We need is spiritual sight; to cor
rec! the impressions that are made on
Us by the false appearances OF the
world. We SEQ the temporal and fleet
Ing things of life, and they make such
an impression on our minds that we lose
SIGHT 0i the far more important things
Of eternity.
Electricity, grevitation, force are un-
seen, and yet upon these unseen agen-
Cies depend the world.
God help US to see. Help the youth
Of the land to see that the glimmor and
tnse the beautiful adornments OF
fashion and the seductive and enticing
pleasures OF life end not in the realiza.
ton Of the dreams and ambitions of
childhood, but in disappointment, dis
tress and despair. Satan does not adopt
the hidions and frightful dress and
manner in which he is supposed to ap.
pear, but dresses in the latest and most
fashionable manner, and assumes the
most polished and enticing conduct in
order to deceive W..
The Lord helps us to open our eyes
and places our feet on the top Of the
mountain OF faith and looking through
the togs and mists that surround us
here view the. glories of eternity in all
their grandeur and sublimity. Help us
to rightly appreciate all the beauties
ana blessings OF life provided by kind
Father Tor our good; use them US we
should, but do not forget that while
they perish in the way, We shall go on
II We use them Alright to an eternity Of
JOY and peace of which these things we
now see are but the promise.
