Pastor Goodhand and his parishon-
ers of Bethel and Cheswold NJ. E.
Churches were much disappointed
last Sunday at the heavy rain of Sat
urday evening and the lowering of the
skies most of the day Sunday. The
tent meetings mapped out were spoiled
for the day until evening. The ser

in the Church where good congrega-
tions gathered despite the clouds.
A spirited lovefeast service commenced
at $50 a. M, followed by preaching
by Rev. T. B. Cooper of the Pitts
burg Conference. The discourse was
logical and forceful, taking for his
theme: ga fundamental truth in our
natures" or ''The good and evil ef-
fects the human conscience bears to
the world" from Acts 24-16. At 1.3O
p. m. chlldren's meeting was held
when Mrs. Emma Caulk of Dover,
was the speaker. Her remarks were
very impressive to the children, in
deed many points of her address
doubtless will always be remembered
by them. The golden bowl DRAIN,
the door (mouth), the grinders (teeth),
ETC., as typifed in Ecclesiastes 18th
chapter and first seven verses were
parts of their houses (bodies), which
must be kept pure and clean. At 8. 90
p. m. Rev. W. w. Johnson preached
and at 700 the Epworth League SER

Rev. Albert Chandler of Smyrna
preached a most pleasing and suitable
sermon on prayer, based on the text,
'and golden walls full of odors which
are the prayers of saints" Rev. 5-8,
followed by revival services held in
the tent and attended by throng of
people. Monday evening Rev. o. 7.
Baynard of Henderson, urged his
audience to accept Gods service and
leadership. The song services made
up from the choirs of Bethel and Ches-
void M. E. Churches, with violin by
Miss Clara Savin, and cornet, also a
half hour preaching, the preaching in
charge of S. B. Cooper, are features of
these services. A duet and quartet
by Misses Lulu Boggs and Spe Coop

Frank Gardner, also a vocal solo by
Mrs. L. D. Garrison have been pleas

II. E. Truitt of Leipsic, G. P. Smith
of Wyoming, d. F. McFaul of Ken
ton, and W. E. Habbart of Little

gallant young men who while assist.
