in the Services, and it is Increas-
ing Each Day-The Meetings of
Yesterday, and the Programme
for To-Day.
Yesterday, the sixth day Of the meet
ing, was no exception to the previous
days except perhaps that the interest
was on the increase. Those who have
attended the meetings for many years
think the indications of a great work
being done never seemed better at this
stage of the meeting. Christians have
been greatly revived, while the uncon-
verted part of the audiences were never
more attentive than they are now. The
best feeling prevails among the mem
bers of the different churches repre-
sented. and they are not only praying
for sinners, but are using their influence
to bring them in. The Bishop and Dr..
Canoe have sown good Seed which may
bring forth rich fruit yet even before
the meeting closes, but if not II Will
yield a rich harvest some time in tne
future. Rev. G.. w. Grimes is thro -
his whole nature into the work, and tne
success of the meeting thus far is in
great measure due to his tireless efforts.
He is getting his reward as he goes
along. for he gives many good Meth
odist shout each day. He is happy on
the way" if ever a mortal was. Rev.
Spencer will come early tomorrow, and
will remain until the close of the meet.
ing. He is said to be one of the greatest
camp meeting preachers in the United
States. II is expected that great crowds
will flock to hear him on Sunday. the
morning service yesterday was conduct
ed by Rev. c. w. Upton, of Cameron,
and was one of the most earnest and
lively services of the kind yet held.
All who know Rev Upton are aware
of what he can do and when we say he
exceIIed himself yesterday morning.
the reader may know it was grand,
good time. It closed with a hand-shak-
ing around the altar.
At 1920 Rev. n. B. Johnson, OF North
Street church. Wheeling, preached from
the words Lord What VIII thou Have
Me do" It was an impressive, earnest
red-hot sermon, full Of power and the
Holy Ghost. Rev. Johnson is power
full speaker and sends the plain truths
| home to the hearts and consciences OF
his hearers. He urged one and all to
ask of the Lord for the work He has
for them to do and then do IL. If this
IS done God will greatly revive his work
here and the fire will be carried home to
the churches to burn brightly through
/ out the coming year.
The Young Peoples meeting at 2:30
was led by Rev. ID. A. Denton, Of Rem
/ wood. assisted by b. NJ. Spur, rector OF
Episcopal church, MOundsyille. Miss
! Davis. of BenwOod was at the organ.
Quite number of songs were sung after
which Rev. Denton lead in prayer. Af-
ter another song he spoke on fruit bear
ing after reading the parable Of the
barren fig tree. His talk was greatly
enjoyed. Another song was sung after
which Rev Spur spoke, taking for his
text the word Integrity" His talk
was listened to with the most intense
interest by the large audience, the Tenn
pie being almost crowded with young
people.
The children's meeting was one Of
more than ordinary interest. The lea
der gave an opportunity for all who
wished to do so to come up to the altar.
! Quite a goodly number responded and
professed conversion.
Some may object to this, but Christ
said: Suffer the little children to come
unto me and forbid them not for CT
such is the Kingdom Of Heaven"
There will be a formal reception CIV
en- to Dr. Spencer at the preachers
cottage at nine o'clock, and Rev.
Grimes. the manager of the meeting,
greatly desires the presence Of all the
preachers of the district. and as many
more as possible, irrespective of de-

$3.50 instead Of 9 o'clock.
