International Epworth League Convention
at Chattanooga, Tenn, Attracts "a Big
Attendance-A Sunrise Prayer Service
on Historic Lookout Mountain.
Epworth Leaguers at Chattanooga.

The second international convention
of the Epworth League was held at
Chattanooga, Tenn, and was a mon
ster religious demonstration. The
conference formally opened in the big
tent, which had been dedicated for
the purpose, and which had a seating
capacity of 10000; chair provisions for
1000, reserved seats for 250 guests and
seats for 100 representatives of the
press. The huge tent was crowded at
the opening service. Bishop Gallo
way delivered the conference sermon.
A feature never before seen in a meet
ing of this size was the administration
of the Lords supper to fully 10000
people. Undoubtedly the most inspir-
ing as well as unique feature of the
entire convention was a sunrise prayer
service on the top of historic Lookout
mountain. About $500 enthusiastic
young people started for this service
at o'clock in the morning and as they
moved up the side of the mountain
singing and shouting every soul felt
the inspiration of the occasion. Great
clouds of mist hung over the city and
the valley as the pilgrims, represent
ing almost every state of the union,
and Canada, began their devotions.
Rev. George Il. Stuart, the celebrated
evangelist who assists Sam Jones led
the meeting. AS he stood and talked
of the love of God and of the peace of
the gospel of Jesus Christ, every mind
ran back to that noted meeting of
nearly 1000 ago The sermon on the
mount was in the hearts of all present.
In little time there was a change.
The great clouds of mist rolled back,
and the gray is turning into the rosy
tints of the morn. The worshipers
stand as If lost in devotion and adora-
ton. their hearts are brought close
TO the God of nature, who is so beauti
fully and majestically revealing his
power to them. They stand silent,
and then as there peeps over the dis
tant horizon the first beams of the
great king of day, they all, as if moved
by common spirit, break forth with
the long meter doxology. Praise God,
from Whom All blessings Flow"
They could stand it no longer Their
pent up feelings became exuberant
and old shouts were given and hand
shakings were exchanged on all sides.
1t was scene never to be forgotten.
Every meeting of the convention was
crowded through the entire session
and it estimated that fully 1000 peo-
pie were in attendance.
