Camp Meeting Notes.

Yesterday at the Moundsville camp
meeting, the s o'clock prayer meeting
was q season ofigreat profit to those in
attendance. The O'clock meeting, I'M
der the leadership OF Or. Yocum. was
fairly well attended. Nearly every one
present gave inStestlmony as to the
reality of the religion professed.
AT 1880 o'clock Rev. w. s. Nicholson.
Of Triadelphia, preached from the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ye ask In my name
that Will Ido.s The sermon was plain,
practical presentation OF the doctrine
offaith,ln Christ and his willingness 10
do whatever believers asked OF him In
faith believing. One reason We do not
receive the things we ask for is thar
we ID not really:expect 10 receive. We
ask as though We thought We would fail
to receive. and yery often If our prayers
were literally answered we would be
very much surprised. He urged on all
to have a faith that will not shrink,
that will take GOD At his word. When
this Is the case. all things whatsoever
ye ask that will he do. The sermon
was heard by n fair congregation.
AT 1870 children's meeting was held.
with Miss Mary Scott as superlnten-
dent. About fifty were present, and the
exercises from first to last were very
interesting. The 2Srd Psalm was re-
cited in concert by teacher and pupils.
after which Miss Scott gave very in
teresting talk, drawing out the children
10 give not only their version OF the
Psalm In question. but many original
thoughts were expressed by them. Miss
Scott seems to be one OF the few VINO
understands child nature so that she
can interest them.~ 1t is very difficult:
task TO interest little folks, many of
whom are not even acquainted with
each other, much less the teachers. but
she seems to be master Of the situation.
The exercises were interspersed with
the singing OF songs by the children.
| Quite number fold people were In
terested spectators.
s:At $3.50 Rev. c. H. Lakin gave Bible
reading from the 18th chapter of First
Corinthians, which was very helpful
and profitable TO those who heard 1t.
He made the point that the charity
spoken of Is the perfect love which all
believers can have II they do not have
4 1t, It is their own fault. In order to
reach this state. or rather to have this
love, several things are necessary.
First, we must be convicted for 1t just
rs truly as we were convicted OF our
sins. Second, we must seek for It
Third. must believe that God Is able to
do the work Fourth. must believe that
he does the work.. The speaker gave
many instances OF how the blessing has
been sought and obtained. 1t is not a
state OF isiuiess perfection |. e., state
from which 1t is impossible to fall. bu,
1t is state in which we can live in un-
interrupted communion with God. He
urged on all his hearers to get there
Just as soon as possible.
The services at Eight were as follows:
a song service was held before public
service opened. with Miss Policy at the
organ and Miss Stewart at the piano.
| DR.. Yocum preached n good sermon.
though he is somewhat hoarse from his
two sermons on Sunday. It is wonder
full what power he has as speaker.
Did the people in general know what
good preaching Is being had there
would be many more In attendance. As
1t is the crowds at night are large and
attentive.
