The services at the Camp Grounds
yesterday began with a sunrise prayer
meeting at six o'clock, which was very
well attended and full of interest.
Much interest was also manifested in
the o'clock class meeting. The at
tendance at this meeting was the
largest of any class meeting that has
been held this year.
At 1870 p. m. Miss Mary Scott, of
Moundsville, again conducted the
children's meeting. The topic for dis
cussion was the Shepherd. Miss Scott,
who has the admirable power of inter-
esting children, gave an excellent talk
very much appreciated by children and
adults who were present. That the
children were interested was shown in
the ready manner In which they re-
sponded to her questions. Rev. G. H.
AIaloney was present at this service,
and rendered valuable assistance by
singing a solo and otherwise aiding
with the musical part of the pro-
gramme.
At 1920 a. m. Rev. John Beddow, of
Cameron, preached from John S36. IF
the Son therefore shall make you free,
you shall be free indeed."egt
In his sermon he said that we are
all in bondage and particularized
number of the bonds by which we are
bound as follows: Fleshly appetites,
lusts, gluttony, gambling, pride, envy
and malice and slavery to our fellow
men. He also spoke of public opinion
and thought that too many men are in
fuenced by this. They will not do that
which is right because they fear public
opinion. He then spoke of freedom
from all these things and how it may
be obtained and kept through the Son
of God.
The afternoon service was opened
with singing and prayer by Rev. w. D.
Pinson, of Fulton, after which Rev.
Carroll, of McMechen. preached from
Matt, 1918. Upon this Rock l build
My Church. and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it,
In part he said: Christ is the foun-
dation of the Church to-day. The
Church is a company of men and wO-
men seeking and having the powers of
God and of holy living. This does not
include those whose names are on the
church record, and are unsaved. Being
half Christian Is a poor policy, both
for the individual and the Church.
There Ks a church in the world that
b doing good, burt is not accomplishing
the good it should accomplish, because
it has too many dead beats. 1t must
become clear and pure, by casting out
all dead timber. He thinks the church
is not doing the work it ought to do,
considering the advantages it has
Referring to the camp ground, he
said that souls would be awakened
when the devil was banished from the
grounds. That SO long as refreshment
stands, lunch counters, etc, were al
lowed and ii WAS a money making
scheme, that success in L spiritual way
would be lacking.
The scheme Of the clergy is to be
popular with the people, though the
means of securing this popularity will
not always bear close scrutiny.
However, the Church will finally
triumph over all iDtemperance. vice
and evils of every sort, because Christ
is in the midst of the Church He
closed by urging all to become meek
and lowly like the Saviour. and gave
vivid word picture of the glories of
Christian who is filled with the Holy
Spirit.

as is usual by DR.. Yocum, and were very
much enjoyed By those present.
