The Lords Vineyard

or The series OF religious meetings recently
held in this city Rev. +. A. Mason writes a,
follows to /ioH's IdcOcdte OF Portland:
g The Lord hath done great things for u;
whereof we are glad The words OF the Psalm
ist express the sentiment of many In Els
worth. ON sunday. March Is, Mr.. Frank Will
cock, evangelist and gospel soloist', began
series o: meetings. Three churches, Free VIII
Baptist, Methodist and Baptist, united From
various circumstances almost no direct prepara-
ton for the meetings made.
Extremely little done In the way OF
advertising. Tie Free VIII Baptist church
pastorless, the Methodist pastor was laid aside
by sickness before the meetings were concluded.
while the health Of the pastor Of the Baptist
church was such that he was able to attend only
two full services and part Of two others.
Various other things conspired to work against
| the success OF the meetings.
"But from the first good degree Of interest
was manifested. For one week the truth was put
very clearly and very earnestly to Christians.
The second Sunday began the work for the un.
converted. In the first after meeting five ex-
pressed the purpose to begin the Christian life.
| And night after night new ones have come.
''The labors OF Mr.. Wilcoek were to have closed
| Wednesday evening, April 4, but there
| very uetp CONVICTION on the part OF many thdt
| he ought not to leave at that time. So he was
| prevailed upon to remain few days longer. on
Sunday, April !, the Methodist church, in which
| n ostof the meeting have been held, was packed
| and many went away, unable to find room.
| "As it was evident that church could fur
| nish accommodations for the closing service,
| sunday evening, the sth, Hancock hall was Sc
cured. The stormy evening was not sufficient to
| keep the people away. The large hall, floor and
| galleries, did not furnish enough sttings some
| being compelled to stand. The audience gave
remarkable attention and many stayed to the
after meeting, when thirteen accepted Christ
| while many others showed deep interest.
| aThe success OF the meetings, against many
| and great obstacles, has seemed wonderful. The
| meetings have proved very great blessing to
| Christians In that many have been led into per
| sonal work they never have been before
| while about ninety have said that they would
| follow Christ
! "Mr. Willcock is very earnest worker, NOT
! sparing himself, and showing deep desire not
only that souls be led to Christ but that they be
| cared for tendery and faithfully by older Chris
| tians. He has gained many friends who will
always thank God for leading him to Ellsworth.
and will follow him with their prayers. On Sun
day. April l5 he began series Of meetings at
stoughtoD, Mass"

Stray Musings.

stray Musings.
Al mcn my kindred by land or by sea,
Whether welding sccp.rc or carrying bod;
All the tribes OF the earth are related to me
Through Mother Nature and Father God.
Mans history runs back into the dark
And Is lost In the vortex of vanished year,.
For his earliest advent left no mark
No record remains OF his hopes or Tears
No doubt that for ages and ages untold
lie fought for his den with the tiger and bear;
lie had no use for silver gold.
And where night overlook him he made his lair
In the morn of creation when earth was young
He ranged the woods with his club and bow,
Such was the lineage from which We sprung.
Our poor relations of long ago.
The grotesque IDOL, the sacred bones
To the heathen seer were not in vain.
They served him well as stepping stones
To lift his mind to higher plane.
Mans origin has not been revealed
AT least it has no, been revealed to ue,
The past Is a volume locked and scaled
And voicel-ss oblivion holds the KEY
There Is plenty OF history for 10 translate,
Recorded millions OF ages ago,
In the deep-laid beds OF granite and slate.
On the mountains capped with eternal snow.
Gods bounty extends 10 all races OF men,
Whether plowing the ocean tilling the earth.
nd the rude Aigerine Is what should have been
Had the same sntecedcnis precete,l my birth,
The deepest problem before mankind.
