Waco. Tex. July 27.-A thousand or
two people are tarrying at the Texas
Jerusalem across the Brazos river
waiting patiently like the apostles till
they are endowed with power from on
high.
This is at the meeting of the Holiness
band.
They expect the visitation OF the
Holy Ghost as he visited the apostiei
on the day OF Pentecost. They are pray
Ing loud and earnestly for his com

nothing till he comes. Every man, wo-
man and child in the great, expec-
tant crowd OF worshippers believes he
Will come before the end OF the camp
meeting. That is the whole theory

camp meeting. When he comes, or
they think he has come, the excitement
Will equal that in the upperchamber
at Jerusalem when the mighty, rush
ing wind ushered in cloven tongues OF
IRE and strange languages and con-
versions without end. That excite
ment may begin any moment. today

songs and shouts Of the meeting, drunk

meetings at present are very fine and
very earnest, and the preachers are
Of remarkable and unusual ability. Two
