IN OLD TINE CROWD
At the MOundsville Camp Meeting
Services Yesterday.
The Attendance Went Far Beyond
the Bxpectations-The Exercises
and Addresses in the Auditorium
and Childrens Temple-The Pro-
gramme for To-Day.

gramme FOR To-Day.
Sunday opened bright and fair and
at an early hour the crowds began to
come, and by o'clock when the first
service opened the auditorium was well
filed. 1t began to look as though-an
old time audience would be present,
and indeed it was greater than was
even looked for.
The 8 o'clock morning service was
led by Rev G. w. Grimes and TO say
that it was regular old-fashioned
shouting Methodist class meeting is
telling just what il was. Many expert
ences were given and a time long to IL
remembered was enjoyed by those TAX
ing part. At 1920 the bishop preached.
His text was God is Faithful" and
in listening TO him one can easily see
how it is that he enjoys such a popu-
larity as a pulpit orator. He captured
his audience at once and for fully an
hour held them spell-bound with his
oratory, and unanswerable logic.
He secuted the doctrine Of evolution
and as upheld by Darwin and Huxley,
and preached by Ingersol. He made
the assertion that there was not
scientific mistake in the Bible, and he
was prepared to prove it by dncontro-
vertible evidence All who heard him
fol hnk igtO m
who was master of his subject. He
throws his whole nature into his ser
mon and one after hearing him need
not wonder that the negroes of the
south call him Bishop Hallelujah.
At 2:30 the young peoples meeting
was held in the Auditorium and was
conducted by Rev. d. A. Denton, OF
Benwood, quite a number OF others
taking part. AT o'clock, in the Tenn
pie the children met and were drilled
by Mrs. Calvert. The children recited
verses. beginning with the letter F.
Miss Kelley was at the organ and
number of pieces were sung. w. b.
Matthews, of Washington, d. c. gave
nice talk which pleased the children
greatly. After to-day the first tifteen
minutes of each meeting will be de-
voted to Bible study, beginning with
teaching the books of the Bible as To-
Gated in order. 1t will be well FOR all
children to be present tomorrow and
parents are urged to send them every
day hereafter.
Rev. VIM. Castor, of Cleveland, o.
nreached in the Auditorium at the same
hour. He is a good speaker ana de-
lighted the large audience who heard
him The choir practice in the evening
before the general service was very
helpful to the singers and interested
the audience greatly
After prayer by DR.. Breckley the
bishoD called for the song "Oh TOT
Thousand Tongues" he then proceeded
- nreacb from the words Who Is
Suficient for These Things. ~ He
made the following points among
many others: H. son
