1t is needless TO say that the exercises

teen hundred people were present on Sat-
urday and almost twice as many yes.cr-

bly, attentive and orderly. considering the
fact that the meetings are held IN am
open tabernacle.
ono OF the most attractive features OF
tho occasion is the music. With half
dozen Instruments In skllful hands aud
a well-trained choir, under an accomplish
ed leader, the singing is edifying and de-
lightful.
The extent to which the community and
numerous visitors are absorbed in the ex-
ercises OF this great religious gathering
is shown 10y the remarkable fact that not
even on the yerandas OF the hotels are
the names OF Bryan and Mckinley men-
