Sunday In MoundsvIllc was q bcnu-
titul day and Will be long carried In
remembrance by those who attended
Simpson NJ. E. church. beginning at D
O'clock a. m, the conference love-feast
was held. Rev. c. II. Lakln conduct
ed the service. assisted by other broth
rem OF the conference, II was one OF the
oldstime Methodist experience class
meetings. The testimonies OF the large
number who spoke were varied, but all
had the ring OF Christian love aud tri-
umph.
Long before the hour for preaching
simpson church was crowded with peO-
pie and the alslcs filled with chairs,
When Bishop Hurst arrived, he man
aged TO get through the crowd to the
pulpit. by careful. cRlculatlOnI over 500
people. were within the church edlnce,
many OF whom had 10 stand during
the entire service. aud many others
were not able 10 get inside the doors.
BISHOP Hurst announced hymn No.

The text selected by Bishop Hurst
was Luke 1851, II say unto you, that
likewise Joy shall be In heaven over one
sinned that repenteth. more than over
ninety and nine Just persons which
need no repentance" The discourse
was clear, logical and full OF deep
thought. The bishops voice was not
80 strong Us In other days, being weak
ened by the excessive work OF the past
few weeks. In part the Bishop said:
81 stThnRt Nt+1FYTs fnnnh M t,,,r,,n -. To-,
son ana a great fact. OF a sympathy
existing between earth and heaven. We
live In Il large world. the myterteS
have never yet been hIf revealed. You
n fathom tn bottom OF the seas and
ind mysteries still man has not solved;
turn the telescope TO the stars and dis
cover heavenly bodies hitherto I'M
known 10 the astronomers OF the world:
10 the northern regions you can send
explorers and they say Greenland Is a
vast continent, the next news will be
Il Is no more than an island after ALI;
to the other ends of the world explorers
a 20, but 10 Ind there 4 great secret
still. Great old Africa Is not of
our boyhoOd days. but It Is sttli L mys-
terry. We live In n large world and it
takes a great while 10 get around.
We are told heaven Is very near. In
whisper n child can talk with God. II
seems that heaven Is only next door,
but TO LIT tic latch and you are there.
The mex teaches the nearness NJ hea-
Ven and the joy over one sinner that
reperteth. Monetary knowledge Ia on
~ required 10 touch the harps OF heav-
en- and music Is. there. such as We do
not hcar and It does not awaken us as
the touch OF human hands.
The act OF repentance is the undoing
OF a mans regret. Write a whole phil
os0phy in n act Of repentance. Feel
ing fine Is to feel grand. but II must
have the blsest OF history intelligence.
Repentance comes after seeing the
truth. You can't feel rightly unless
you see rightly: can't prove but say
It as God says 1t. leaving logic out.
When We want a drink. we don't stop
10 make an analysis. but We take a
drink. Take Gods word rs it Is. II Is
astonishing how much power Is In the
Insertion Of gospel. The sinners con-
version cones from what the mind
Z. sees. II knowledge be wrong, emotion
Is useless. The difference between cul-
tirailon and knowledge is We know
not when it comes. \ lady In London
went through the Seven Dives and
picked up a poor ragged boy. found
clothes FOR him and invited him to the
Sunday school. Sh" had to repeat 1t Il
few times, but finally he came steady.
Joined the church. was called to the
ministry, sent to China and became the
immortal Morrison. the apostle OF Chi
ma. Faith secS not the process, but In
a momcn II Is there. Ask Wesley what
he saw. II Is intuition. The difference
between II and logic gets ut Il result
by argument and Intuition BY sight.
The mother knows tfc secrets OF her
boys heart. The secret OF the Lord Is
with them that fear Hin. The blind
man before he MAS healed went and
washed in the pool. He went and when
the humnn fulfilled It's prophecy, the
miraculous cure came.
q Conversion Is human and divine. The
human heart responds to the divine
command and receives the attention OF
Heaven. Who are occupants OF h,av-
en-? The angela and saints-different
classes. The angels came In old testa-
ment times in seasons of calamity and
trouble and administered. When Jesus
was born n special choir came from
heaven. When lie assembled, his work
done and passion finished. angels bore
Him homo. When sinners repent,ttsarc
IS JOY. They UnIuestioHdbly have their
commissions for doing Gods service.
v Angels have relation TO us. We only
get glImpses OF Gods care by angelic
