Ensor.

Louis Horpel. Song and prayer. Addresses
Theme: Practical Christian Living. l. In

Evening Service-Song and prayer, led by
Mr.. Louis Horpel. Preaching by Rev. }. I.
Ensor. Conservation. Doxology and Bene-

The love feast in the morning was attended
by an outpouring of the Spirit such as has
not been felt in our midst for some time.
Many engaged in testimony and thanked their
Saviour for his keeping power. The sermon
by Brother Ensor was directed especially to
the Christian peoples it was full of power, ac-
companied by the Holy Spirit. The people
seemed highly pleased and edited.
The addresses in the afternoon were all very
instructive and helpful. Especially would we
mention that of Bro. Thos. Wheeler on "Prac-
teal Christian Living in the Shop, it was
rendered in his characteristic manner, being
affecting and inspiring.
The reports from the other chapters OF Pa
tapsco circuit were encouraging.
The sermon in the evening, from Genesis,
32-26-"And he SAID, will not let thee go
except thou bless me, ;" was a call to conse-
Grafton on the part Of the leaguers present.
The congregation was large and attentive,
which fact gave inspiration to the preacher:
The rally, which closed with conservation and
renewed vows for more effective work in
Christ's cause, was splendid preparation for
the protracted services which are being con-
Quoted at this time, was made special effort
on the part of the members and friends OF
the church to provide entertainment for the
delegates, which effort was appreciated. The
Sykesvile chapter took special interest IN the
rally and was represented not only by its del,
egates but by many others, including its or,
chestra The music provided by the orchestra
was well rendered and much appreciated by
all. Our pastors were unable to be present
as Brother Curey is holding tent meeting near
Cooksville, and Brother Costin exchanged
pulpits with Brother Ensor

The naval review in Eew York harbor

be committed if Sampson should be given

not in the fight, and was followed by the
