lowed by an exposition on the second COM
Ing Of the Savior, with the words THY
kingdom come as the basis. Prayers for
the descent Of the Holy Spirit with appro-
pirate hymns followed. During this meet
ing a storm broke over the camp. which
for a time bade fair to seriously interfere
with the workers.
At night there was an exhibition Of NOV
ing pictures depicting the gospel In song
with secular views by Prof. Jones of Balti-
more, and there was a large crowd present.

the temperature was moderate, but before

meeting here when she was a small child,
as far back 1927; Mrs. Smitzer Linthi-
cum. whose husband was the manager Of

here in early days. The prayer meeting
preceded the breakfast hour, after which
a prayer and praise service was held and
many testimonies were given, this meeting
running into the hour set apart for the
sermon hour.

these exercises, as well as those following,
with songs. and there was a goodly number
