pies wore tho advance guard of the impe.

They wcrcnarkod men into whose hands
Jesus Christ had given tho keys OF this

tracts the people. We belong to God and

There Is strictly Christian dialect, said
tho preacher. 1t is rs dlifIrnt from the

At the samu hour lSev. Mr.. Taylor con.

announced their conversion. Mr.. Taylor
talked to the little folks or the Importance

Tbe meeting continued until the hour

WAS an air of disappointment which even
reached DR.. Murray. But Mr.. sharp was
on hand and Willingly consented to take

said that he was going to pray for the bnp'

II will, Brother Murray" exclaimed the
Rev. H. S. Mace, Il need more power" He
| no sooner arose to 60 to the aultar, than
many more preachers and others followed.
| The space about the altar was entirely I'LL
ei, and more than half the congregation

DR.. Murray said that their were remarks
| made by some that the camp is not success
fui, because there havo been no conversions
but he thought The present meeting was
the beginning Of a successful season.
| The holiness mce.tng at tho tabernacle
in the evening was addressed by Rev Mr..
| Sharp. Rev Asbury Burke had charge of
the young peoples meeting and had those
present quote verse Of Scripture. The

was enjoyable.
