ing. At least 500 people were within
the enclosure during the first meeting.
It was one of the largest and most en-
thusiastic gatherings ever assembled
at first meeting.
The services of yesterday were as
follows:
At 9 o'clock a. m. an experience
meeting was conducted by Rev. G. w.
Grimes. Many testified to the saving
efficacy of the blood of Christ to cleanse
from all sin.
At 1890, after a song by the choir,
Rev. Carver, of West Liberty, offered a
prayer. Rev. Grimes made number
| of announcements Another song was
sung after which Dr. d. T. +. Buckley,
of Thomson NJ. r. Church, Wheeling,
preached from the text, Give unto the
Lord the glory due unto His name.
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holt
! ness"
At 1:90 the choir met for practice and
spent some time in getting the various
| voices attuned to one accord Per-
haps this is not the right word to use,
but it is the one that came first to the
mind of the reporter, and so 1t is used
Bishop Mallalien arrived at noon and
the very knowledge Of his presence
gave a zest to not only the services, but
every one on the ground seemed to
think that the success of the meeting
is now assured. The Bishop is man

that they are talking to man.
At 2:30 the young peoples meeting
was held in the Temple, and although
the weather was unpleasantly warm,
still quite a number were present. The
meeting was led by Rev. w. T. Helms
and talks were given by the leader, DR..
Riker and Rev. Denton. All OF the
talks were good and to the point. The
children's meeting at o'clock was led
by Mrs. Calvert, assisted by Miss An
ME Pelley at the organ.
The Temple was so dreadfully hot
that it is almost cruel to have the chill

crowd from Wheeling, as did also the
one from the East. Many others came
by private conveyance during the day.
Nearly every cottage is now taken and
a population of not less than 1000 men,
women and children are now domiciled
in this little city in the woods.
The evening services were first a
choir practice of a half hour. At 7:45
promptly the public service opened.
Bishop Mallaieu led in a short prayer,
after which he called for the singing
of the long meter doXol0gy, which was
done with a will He then proceeded
to preach from Acts second chapter,
first four verses. His theme was: How
are we as individuals to secure the gifs
of the Holly Ghost?"
In the course of his sermon he said,
referring to the Chinese massacres:
"They have murdered some of our
missionaries, but the blood of the mar
tyrs is the seed of the church, and
China must bow to the God of Heaven.
We belong to the conquering cohorts
of the sky and we must win"
Again he said:
'YOu will have to give up all covert
| BUSINESS. 1t is not what we give that
will save us. DO not count a mans
| liberality by what he gives, but by what
he has left. He wished he could speak
| to all milliOnaires who dole out a pit
lance and have so much left as TO make

modern theatre and get the gift of the

ciples"
Concluding he said he wondered what
would happen here tonight. Every
one would be just of one accord. It
would be nearer Heaven than we have
ever been. If this were true, in less
than ten minutes the power would be
felt. The Bishop is a powerful speaker
and he swayed the vast audience at his
Will. He surely has been justly styled

Prof Burke speaks very latteringly

on the platform and sing with a vim.
