The Big Sabbath.
Sunday was a great day in the city
of Oskaloosa as we'll as at the Yearly
Meeting. The city and the grounds
were thronged with strangers all day
people coming from all directions al
far as ashundred miles. By courtesy
of the local ministers all the city pull
pits we're filled by Friends, and the
sermons were all of the best. The
day dawned cloudy and cool. Il
seemed that the oppressive heat o
the week had disappeared to accom-
modate the large crowds which usual
ly assemble on this day.
The O'Clock services a the meet
ing house was led by Chas. White
who took up his theme "God Re
vealed." The meeting was one o.
particular interest as Chas. White il
soon to leave this Yearly Meeting
for service in other parts.
The O'Clock meeting was large anC
enthusiastic. Arthur Swift, of jana
lea, and R. R. Newly were in charge
Many prayers were offered, the bur
den of which seemed to be that the
day might be one of power to the
salvation of many souls that nigh
come upon the grounds during the
day. Arthur Swift took for his theme
"We must appear before the iudg
ment seat of Christ" He set forth
very clearly that if we wish stars il
our crown we must not only win souls
to Christ but our lives must be con
sistent with our profession. 1t is easy
to talk of the life of victory and the
life of holiness, but it's quite another
to live it in every minutia of life. The
great question in all our work is mo-
ourselves nor our glory, but will oul
work stand the test of fire, r. r
Newly followed with an earnest ex
hortation that we be good as well al
faithful. We must first be good be
fore we can be faithful in the trues
sense.
The meeting closed with an earn
est and interesting testimony coming
from many full hearts.
At 10 O'Clock the first excursion
train broughtin great crowd which
was increased from time to time dur
ing the day. In the lower room the
meeting was cared for by John Henry
Douglas and j. w. Hadley. Harry
Hayes led in the singing. Mrs. Nay
lor, of California, read the Scripture
lesson and made comments. JohI
Henry Douglas sounded an alarm t.
the church regarding the inroadI
which are being attempted to be made
