MALAGA, Aug. 19.-Monday is usually
a quiet day at camp meetings, and to-day
was no exception, although the atten-

crowds and continuous services of yester-
day the cottagers were glad to take a
rest.
The sunrise service this morning was
well attended, and numerous earnest
prayers for the success of the camp were
offered. The meeting was led by Rev. J. o.
R. Corliss. At $50 o'clock prayer and
and conservation service, in charge of
Rev. D. B. Ackley, was held in the Audi
torium, and much religious enthusiasm
was manifested. Evangelist Louden led
an old-fashioned experience meeting at
10 O'Clock in the Tabernacle.

was short song service, after which the
regular preaching service was held. Rev.
j. w. Poolton preached from the text,
Acts, 1st chapter, Sth verse: "But ye shall
receive pewer after that the Holy Ghost
is come upon you; and ye shall be wit
nesses unto Me both in Jerusalem and in
all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost parts of the earth.' His theme
was "The Promised Power Mr.. Pool
toms discourse was ably delivered and
well received. After the preaching an
| altar service was held, at which there
was much religious fervor.
Interesting Children's Service.
| The afternoon services were better at
tended than the morning meetings, owing
to the large number of visitors arriving
on the noon trains. An interesting

was under the leadership of Miss Josie
| Wetstein, who will have charge of the
children's services during the remainder
of the camp. AT 3 o'clock there was
short song service under the direction of
| Professor Hewitt.
Rev. J. o. r. Corliss preached a strong
sermon this afternoon on "Getting to
Heaven" His text was, Luke, chapter,
25th verse: ''Strive to enter in at the
straight gate; for many 1 say unto you
will seek to enter in, and shall not be
able"

fessor Hewitt was marked by one of the
largest congregations of the day.
The closing service this evening was
well attended by cottagers, who listened
attentively to the discourse of Rev. John
Goorley, of Deerfield. Mr.. Goorley select
ed for his text the sixth chapter of
