| Thur Far Next sundays Programme
Perhaps some who have been accus-
toned to go to Mortified yearly and
others who have not, have held sket-
teal idea that the springs of refreshing
and inspiration have ceased flowing be-
cause the human leader has been called
away, but attendance at the meetings
of the general conference during the
first week of it's session would correct
such an imagination, for accommoda-
lions at the seminary buildings, intents,
at the Mortified Hotel, and in the
homes of the villagers, have been taxed
to their utmost during the last few days
to make room for the people who have
been pouring in by every train, yet ev-
erybody is we'll taken care of. No one
has ever yet been sent out of the town.
except to the Mount Hermon School
buildings, and those in charge feel con-
fident of their ability to care for all
who wish to come.
The plan which the New York Pres
bytery tried last year-that of having
one of the buildings reserved for it's
members-proved such a means of en-
joyment and blessing that Weston Hall
was again engaged in advance by them,
and Is filled to overlooking with men,
bers of the Presbytery and their fami-
lies Many ministers Of other denomi-
nations are also present, besides we'll
known workers representing many
fields and phases of Christian work.
Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, D. D., who
is present for the fourth successive
summer, has been the most prominent
speaker thus far, and the people listen
to his earnest and searching addresses
as eagerly and attentively as in former
years. Rev. E. B. Meyer arrived on
Wednesday and will be heard at least
once day. Those who have attended
Mortified conferences year after year
can remember seasons when it seemed
possible to attend almost every meeting
and hear every speaker, but with the
number of speakers there are on the
ground at present and the number of
meetings held each day, one would be
guilty of religious dissipation if he at
tended aal and heard all. In giving the
announcements for Sunday and the ear
ly part of next week, Mr.. w r. Moody,
who presides at all the meetings, men
toned the necessity of each one choos-
ing the services which he thought would
be most beneficial to him, and though
for several days there have been seven
or eight services a day, said, This
week we have been making it easy for
you, but next week we are going to
have more meetings and we hope no one
will attempt to go to all of them"
The speakers to be heard on Sunday
are Rev. #. B. Meyer of London, Rev.
Peyton Hoge of Louisville, Ky, and DR..
Bernardo of London.
The first service of the day was
prayer meeting at p. m. At 10 a. m,
there was song service in the Audito
rum, followed by addresses by Rev. F.
B. Meyer and others At 2:3O o'clock
there was another address in the Aud
llUIluHl ny III. Del at " Nioth
a meeting for young women, in charge
of Mrs Margaret Bottome, of the
Kings Daughters society. at 6;30
sunset service on Round Top, and at
1880 a gospel service in the Auditorium,
at which DIR. Bernardo spoke.
An attractive feature of the next
weeks services will be the Young Peo-
pies Institute, which will open Tues
day afternoon and continue through the
conference. Mr.. John Willis Baer ar
rives on Monday and will direct these
meetings, to which it is hoped all young
people in the vicinity will send as many
representatives as possible.
The number of and times for the SER
vices for Sunday, August 10, will \be
about the same as last Sunday. but DR..
Morgan will be present instead of Mr.
Meyer.
