Yesterday was an old time camp
meeting Sunday. The people came from
the surrounding country In wagons, on
horseback and on foot; the trains came
laden with their precious freight and
early In the day there was u large
crowd.
THE early morning service was con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Lynch and began
promptly at . o'clock and continued un-
I'll 1889, 1t was very spiritual from
first TO last. Many testimonies wore
given in from beginning to end and
from beginning TO end It was very sue
cesSful.
The 1880 service began by the sing
Ing OF III anthem by the choir and Il solo
by Miss You Hastings, after which tho
bishop called for the singing OF behold

led In prayer. The bishop then read the
parable OF the talents and also that OF
h pounds. Another q was sung,
after which Bishop McCabc preached
one OF the ablcst sermons ever preached
on these grounds from the words: IN
Little one Shall Become n Thousand,
and a Small One Il Strong Nation"
1t would be nn lInpOssibillty 10 at
tempt 10 report such n sermon. but a
few OF the points made were: God ac-
complishcs great results through hum

world what the humble workers have
done, there would be hut little left. This
VAS Chrlst'S plan. lia chose the lonely
fishermen OF GalllCe TO cOnfound the
mighty. He thanked His Father that
He had kept these things hid from the
wise and had revealed them unto babes.
Paul had the same notion Of things. He
knew Gods plan and worked In ac-
cOrdaucc Herewith. God does not work
rs we would do. Were We to plan, we
would oppose the mighty with the pow
crful, just the opposite OF the way In
which God works. David understood
Gods plan when he wrote the eighth
Psalm, for In that Psalm he seemed 10
have a vision Of BeIhlehem-the babe in
the mRugcr which was Gods answer 10
the worlds cry for help. He sent the
Christ child for help and He has k
the empires OF their hinges and He Will
continue to do so until the end OF time.
What great things Gods people could
do II they put on their entire strength.
The world could be taken for Christ in
II few years. He referred TO the para
blcs read. and said that God was not
satisfied with less than 100 per cent in
trrcst. II each Christian In the world
would save one soul each year. In q very
few years the Song Of Jubilee in cele-
bration OF a world redeemed would be
sung. He believes this world would be
taken for Christ, but In order TO do II.
the Christian world MUST be more con-
sccratcd 10 Christ. Christians must
keep out of the theater, the ballroom,
frO:n'the card table. and must shun the
wine cup IL they wish 10 do effective
work. lie then referred TO the many
who have done effective work in taking
the world for Christ. John WcslCy's
father and mother. William Butler, the
founder Of the Methodist mission in
India. Some day or other there will be
4 church that will put on its strength.
He would not say TINT II was to be the
Methodist church. but II will be there
wE"n the time zones. When he was Il
boy, he heard Ii said that the MathodlstS
world snOn run ont, md they have been
running out all over the world. since
that time. and for thirty. years he has
been running utter them.
His pcroratlOn at the close was grand.
