The July Session of the MoundsVile
Association begins Auspiciously.
The Moundsville July campmeetlng
opened Tuesday at 1920 a. N. in the
great Assembly Hall, with a good
sized audiene of attentive hearers, who
listened to a cordial greeting of their
friend of other years. Rev. George K.
Stuart, of Cleveland Tenn, co-worker
of Rev. Sam P. Jones, and a preacher
of marvellous power of speech, whose
sermons so stirred the hearts Of i'm
mense congregations of people every
time that he has preached at this camp.
Rev. Mr.. Stuart has missed only four
appointments in twenty years, and after
trying to hire an engine at Wheeling
( last night. came down from there
through the storm in q buggy, arriving
I about half-past eight, 10 the great de-
light of the management, who feared
that some accident had made him miss
his appointment.

Quartette, assisted by a chorus choir,

Of Grant University Chattanooga, Tenn,
and editor of the Methodist Advocate,
lGournal of the NJ f. Church, preached Il
fine sermon from the text: Judges viii.
p: For as the man is 50 is his
strength" Strength is ability to achieve.
1t is a difficult thing to find an original
man. Robinson CrusOe came the near
est TO being an original man before he
met his man Friday. We know God
by what He does. Everything is the
outcome of his thought Spirit is self
revealing. No man can successfully hide
himself The real man will some time
come TO The front There is something
I'm him that will always give him away,
whether he is right or wrong. A man
cauuo, be religious by joining an eth
icai 1ciet. or by reading Shakespeare
Oscar Wilde aid all that. IL is only
hy the way of the Cross that q man can
become religious A man is what he
is in his heart. and ne can not be any
thing else II he has not the power
of religion in his heart he cannot set
the world OIL fire. Two hundred or
binary men, thoroughly converted TO the
power OF God. would accomplish more
than ten thousand philosophers.
Rev. Mr. Cook made an carnes. plea
FOR a thoroughly c0nsccrated holy lite
Rev. Stuart followed with a plea to
Christians 10 seek power from God
