The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-08-23

Yesterday, the fifth day of the.
Moundsvllle camp meeting, was full of
interest. The rain the day before laid
the dust and made everything Just what
should be as far as the weather Is con-
cerned. As o'clock prayer meeting was
held and attended by quite a number
Of young people. The audience at the
pantecostaI service at $3.50 was larger
than usual. Dr. Hill conducted the
service. He read the first verse Of the
eleventh chapter OF Hebrews, Now
faith IA the substance OF things hoped
FOR. the evidence Of things not seen"
Faith Is the band that connects hui
manIty with the great engtnery OF Coos
mower. said DR.. Hill. We must get on
TO believing grounds before we can be-
lleying We must meet all the antece-
dent conditions before we can nave
saving faith. Trusting in God means
turning everything over to him. we
are not to believe in vagaries ana ran
cies, but believe In the WORD OF 500:
The word Of God is the foundation OF
ali our faith. Every promise IN GODS
word IL a check on the bank Of heaven.
God rs under no obligation TO US, and
he will do Just what he promises: Any
one who struggles to believe Will not
believe at all. It is easy to believe, es-
| socially after It Is over. Just believe
God and he will report to your soul:
THESE are some of the many good
things the doctor said. The latter part
of the meeting was taken up with the
testimonies OF different persons. a
general handwriting closed the meet
ing. -,
ttnsville circuit, preached from ISAIAH,
second chapter, third and tonrt i
verses, principally. the fourth verse,
] which reads as follows: "And He shall
Judge among the nations and shall re-
buke many people and they shall beat
swords into plowshares and their spears
into pruning hooks. Nation shall not
life IN sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war any more"
In part, the preacher said: The pro-
phet is here speaking Of the final trt-
umphs OF chrIsts Kingdom in this
world. Tho standard OF HIS teaching
was to create a higher standard OF NOR
al character-none of US doubt the pro-
phecy that the knowledge OF the Lord
shall cover the whole other as the wa
ters OF the sea, but all viii understand
It better when we know how He is to do
It, God works through causes. In the
beginning he caused the heaven and
the earth to be. Gods ways II followed
out. will lead to the application Of the
Golden Rule, and this Will do away with
all the evils and vices Of this world.
When the life Of all the teachings OF
Christ are In operation In this world, all
its vices will melt away as ice tnetts N
the warmth OF the sun. The law OF
supply and demand governs everything
in temporal AFFAIRS. SO the sentiment
OF a community is really the law that
governs n. But when we are taught Of
His ways this will be q law OF Itself.
Along with the recital Of the story OF
the cross there should be law IN &C,
cord with It. The teachings OF! the
cross must be backed up with good
laws. When out OF Zion this law shall
20 forth, then shall there be no war
among the nations. Everything points
to a time in the near future when ma
tons shall learn war no more. Wars
we're. clasAed into four kinds First,
savage wars. Second, disputes over
boundaries. Third, foreign wars, or
wars for conquest. Fourth, wars to
these classes now could be added a fifth
war for humRnity's sake. The gospel
Will soon have the effect to cause all
] wars to be impossible. The sermon was
we'll delivered and well received. II
was good sermon.
At 2:S0 p. m. the regular young peo-
pies meeting was held by Mrs. Hill.
There was a large attendance Of young
folks. The boys were out In force for
the first time. This added greatly to
| the interest Of the meeting. John
Cowl, Of the Wheeling postoftice force,
led the singing with Mrs. Conner at the
organ. The exercises consisted Of the
reciting Of scripture texts, experiences
and an earnest talk from the leader. An
altar service was held at the close and
many bowed for prayers. At the even
| ing service DR.. Yocum preached to a
| very large audience from the words,
"Yea, have loved thee with an ever
lasting love and therefore with loving
| Kindness have drawn thee" Some OF
| the points made were as follows:
The people to whom these words were
addressed were In captivity. They had
been carried to a land Of strangers. A
mockGry was made Of their service. As
/ praises OF Jehovah. they said unto
them; "slng for US the songs Of Zion"
| They answered: How can we sing the
Lords song in a strange land, and by
the rivers Of Babylon they snt down
and wept."
The first thought in the text is that
the love OF God for sinful men Is per-
sonal love. Our God IL personal, said
Dr. Yocum. The heather worship ev-
erythIng under the sun, but they do
not worship God. They have lost the
personality Of God. Our God ia no
more mixed up with the work Of his
hands any more thnn the dweller in a
mansion 10 mixed with the mansion it.
self. God manifests his personal love
for us in more ways than can be mem
toned. Every sense is an evidence OF
Gods love. II is owing to the love OF
God that we see, hear, feel, etc. Our
power to think is Just as surely an EVIL
dence OF this same love. God not only
loves US. but he has bestowed upon us
the power TO love.
And thus humanity is bound togeth-
or by the bonds Of human love that
cannot be broken. God forces on us a
personal conviction of sin. We are
brought to his feet as suppllnnts and
then we receive personal feeling going
out from one person to another. 1t Is
also everlasting. The whole sermon was
full OF power and the hearty Rmens
from the congregation showed that Il
had n great effect upon all. After the
sermon an altar service was held and
many bowed for the prayers OF the
church, some for pardon, and others
for better experience.
