THE CAMP MEETING
Opens Up With Good Sermon and a Large
 and Attentive Audience-Wll Con- I a,. tnue All Week. z
s


 The biz camp meeting at West End park opened with a large attendance Sunday night. The music was splendid and pr. Mann preached a most excellent sermon. His subject, "The Crisis Upon Us," was well handled, and at the close the vast audience arose to their feet Tn recognition of the truth and character Of Jesus Christ, 'ons mighty to save"
 pr. Mann is an argumentatiVe and iog- ical preacher and enforces his proposi- tions with most vivid illustrations.
 He said in part: We live in practi- cal age, when with every proposition there must be a demonstration of it's Iracticability. Not even young lady would consent to the delicate experience of being courted by proxy" giving very amusing incident in proof
 He proceeded to show the superior pow CT of the Christian faith as manifested in marvellous diplays of the hand of God who had been rescued by the all-conquer- ing love of Jesus Christ, from the worst forms of vice and restored to manhood, to therr families and The community
 He proclaimed the immediate regener- ation Of the human heart and that 1t lives upon truly penitent, earnest, be- lieving. absolute trust in the merits Of Jesus Christ.
 While infdelity, agnosiicisin, material ism and all other isms could offer no comfort to despairing, benighted soul, God in hls infinite wisdom had flooded this old world with the splendors of His glory thrilling the soul of one who ad- mits Of it with the hope big with immor- tality,"
 To his closing appeal the vast audi ence responded amid the music that stirred the heavenly host showing con- clusively that the Savior himself was in the midst of the meeting.
 There was another large crowd out again last night, despite the excitement of the election. and the services were equally as interesting as those of Sunday night. The subject was a continuation of that of Sunday night.
 The meeting will be held every night at o'clock. All singers are invited to join in the chorus
 Extra cars are run to and from the park to these services

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.
The Corner Stone of the Hall of His.
tory to BE Laid Next Month.

The authorities Of the American Univer-
sity have decided to lay the corner stone
of the Hall Of History. the first building of
the university, and which is now in course
of ction, on Wednesday afternoon the
21st of October, at o'clock. Very few of
the arrangements have been perfected
however as both Bishop Hurst, the chan
cellor, and DR.. s. L. Beiler, the vice chan
cellor. are out Of town and will not return
until the 1st Of October. The annual meet
ing of the trustees of the university, of
which Mr.. John E. Andrus of New York is
the president, will take place on the fore
noon OF the day before. The contractor in
charge OF the work on History Hall has
pushed the work steadily forward, until the
brick ork is now up to the first floor and
the workmen have about finished placing
the granite course around the foundations
while all the rough-stone masonry is COM
pletely finished. Ten carloads of marble
from the Columbian marble Quarries in
Vermont have arrived, and will be used for
the body of the building.
The university has just eceived promise
Of a valuable collection of Indian relics
chiefly from Blennerhassett Island, in the
Ohio river, which was made famous by
Aaron Burr They are from Prof. Henry
Stahl Of ParkerSburg, w. Va. One of the
features of the collection consists in the
fact that 1t is not simply mass of ma
terial, but classified collection. 1t shows
implements and weapons OF the later In
dian population and of the mound build
ers who preceded them. 1t also shows
characteristic properties Of the aborigines
whose work Is more proved and inartistic
Prof Stahl was offered over 81, 900 for the
collection by an English institution, but he
preferred that it should stay in America
The university is already in possession of
quite large collection of curios and valu-
able relics, not the least important of
which are a large number of relics and docu-
ments bearing on the early religious life of
the American people.
