On the Moundsvllle Camp Grounds
Occur To-day,
AND A LARGE ATTENDANCE IS
LOOKED FOR-THE PROCEED
INGS OF YESTERDAY-A SER
MON BY REV. S. E. JONES, OF
LITTLETON, AND IN THE EVEN
ING BY REV. A. r. LAMBERT,
OF HARRISBURG, PA.

To-day is the first Sunday OF the
Moundsville camp meeting, and consid-
ering the fact that very elaborate
programme has been prepared. the
grounds should have a very large list
OF people on them.
Yesterday the services were Of very
interesting character, and while the at
tendance was only fair. those present
enjoyed the services.
In the morning the usual pentecostal
exercises were conducted by DR.. Hill,
of Ohio. Rev. Ruble, who has charge
of the choir, was absent, but Rev. A.
B. Moore led the singing. Prayer was
offered by Rev. John Beddow and later
Rev. S. E. Jones, Of Littleton, preach
ed. His sermon was founded on the
principle that the gospel can sustain
any particular religion. If person
| lead Christian life there is no reason
why he should not enter the kingdom
of God. Many of US, he said, he
come discouraged with our work, but
this should not be. Continue your work
and you will be successful" His ser
mon brought out many good things in
keeping with his text which the audi
ence was pleased with.
In the afternoon the usual Young
Peoples meetings were conducted by
Mrs. Or. Hill. She has made many
friends since arriving on the grounds
and yesterday there were present quite
list OF people at this service.
Last night Rev. j. Wesley Hill was to
have preached but he gave way to Rev.
A. r. Lambert, pastor of Ridge ave-
nue. NJ. L. Church, Of Harrisburg, Pa.
This church, by the way is the largest
in the above city, and Rev. Lambert is
a very noted minister. Last evening
was his first sermon ON the grounds and
he was most favorably received by his
congregation. He took for his theme
The Judgment the text being found
in chapter 20 of Mathew, 31sL and 32d
verses. when the son OF man shall
come in his glory and all the holy an
gels with him, then shall he set upon
the throne in his glory and before him
shall be gathered all nations, and he
shall separate them one from another
as the shepherd diyideth his sheep
from the goats.
The language of the text flashes
across the horizon of the human intel
lect and emphasized consciousness OF
one of the most solemn truths contain
ed in the records of the word of God.
THE Judgment | say and emphasize is
consciousness because of the fact that
there is found in bearing within The
mind and heart of every individual an
intuitive consciousness of a future ad-
justment such as shall mete out TO
every man a just reward for the deeds
done in the body In the emphasis OF
this declaration setting forth the judg-
ment let US from an analytical stand
point take up the thought as it IS set
forth in the text, when the son OF
man shall come in his glory" Herein
we have a figure of speech setting forth
the glorious appearance of the son Of
the Judge of all men when he shall APP
pear to determine the final destiny OF
each individual of the race. We fail
in our attempts to properly set forth
the glory of his appearing by reason OF
the impotence and inadequacy of hui
man speech. You have witnessed q
glorious sunrise or sunset when with
fingers of gold the vale beneath or the
mountains above have been clothed In
the garb of effulgent light. But all the
sunriSes and all the sunsets in ages of
time sink into utter insignificance and
are lost in the night time of oblivion
when compared with the glorious APP
pearance of the Judge of all the earth.
Attending him is a glorious company
whom the sacred writer designates
THE Holy Angels" Greater than all
pomp and power and paraphernalia OF
earthly potentate or king Is that which
attends the Judge OF the universe as he
comes to perform the functions grow
ing out of the mission indicated in the
text. But now let us look upon an
other scene, And before him shall be
gathered all nations" These words
pregnant with potency Of meaning sug-
ge5ts to us a mighty company over
which no swift winged bird can fly or
telescope vision may look Accompany
made up OF the past and present and
future.
But how shall this company be call
ed TO order? Some one has suggested
that If it were necessary the Judge
might pick up gavel of thunderbolts
and smite the land and sea into silence.
But it will not be necessary by reason
of the fact that each member Of that
mighty company shall sit in GREATNESS
silence awaiting a decision that shall
fix and seal his de5 tiny in time and in
eternity.
In concluding the speaker drew
vivid picture of the reading Of the
recorded in the Lambs Book of Life are
recorded in the Lambs Book of Life are
destined to enter into eternal life and
the awful suspense and indescribable
agony depic..d upon tine faces Of those
whose names not being recorded In the
Lambs Book Of life were destined 10
eternal Punishment from the. presence
of God. Suggestive or the mighty sea
of sorrow rang from freEzied spirits cf
husband parted from wife. father from
mother, brother from sister and friend
from friend, of the peais OF the music
OF the celestial spheres breaking upon
the enraptured ears OF those rangOmed
hosts who rise and soar and shout
the praises Of their redeemer and king.
and OF the weeping and wailing and
gnashing OF teeth in which the lost and
ruined take part.
