Thursday night at the arnory there was an attendance of over 800 foff the union evangelistic campaign, and the meeting was one of much power, re- sulting in some thirty or more coming forward to profess Christ in the after meeting that followed the sermon by Dr. Slough. A number of these came out of the chorus, as they did on the previous evening. but the largest num- Der to come to the front seats when the invitation was given were young men and young women from the big congregation.
 In the opening song service led by the chorus directed by Mir. .Spooner, prayers were offered by Rev. Dr. M. S. Kaufman and Rev. Jerome Greer. MT. Herring, with violin obligato by Miss Minnie Townsend, sang in his usual excellent style a new arrangement of Just As Am, which was set to the music of Sing Me to Sleep.
 Meeting for Women.
 In the notices given by Dr. Slough special attention was called to the last of the cottage prayer meetings which are to be held this morning. There is to be a special meeting for women only at the armory this afternoon at o'clock, when the evangelist is to speak on Mother Eve's Daughters, and MT. Herring and Mrs. Archibald Mitchell, Jr.. are to sing the duet Love Divine All Love Excelling. from Stainer's Daughter of Jairus. On both Friday and Saturday nights there are to be meetings at the armory, and a special young peoples service on Sunday af- ternoon Rt 3 o'clock.
 Rev. w. T. Thayer offered prayer after twenty requests that had been handed in had been read by Dr. Slough. The evangelist announced his text as Galatians III. z6, For ye are all the Jesus" Dr. Slough said that he did not know that the church had ever passed through such a period of drift as at the present time. Certain it was that everything has passed under the scalpels of sO-called students of God and Christianity. But no doctrine of recent times has been hailed with such delight as that which stated that if Christianity taught anything at all it taught the univefsal fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. It seemed to take well enough when applied to those with whom we were accustomed to associate, but it is noticed that not many hail it with delight when called upon to make a brother of the colored man, the Chinese, the Japanese or the Filipino. We seem to run into diffi- cuity when we apply this doctrine to everyday experience, and there is not doctrine, he thought, that has so much of error mingled with little truth.
 Who Are Children of God?
 The preacher said that he wished to ask and answer tonight the ques- tion, Who are the children of God? John says that there are two fami- lies. that all are not the children of God. but some are the children of God and some the children of the devil It is manifest that these two families exist because the children of God do- eth righteousness. but he that com

pr. Slough Addresses Gathering of Several Hundred at Congregational Cbureh-Other Mention.

A large and encouraging congrega- tiOn filled the. Greeneville Congrega- tional church Thursday afternoon to hear Dr. Slough in the union evangel- istic campaign. Under the direction of Chorister Spooner, with Miss Elizabeth Grove as organist. the hymn It Is We'll With My Soul, opened the services at o'clock. Win Some One was the next selection. followed by prayer by the Rev. J.. R. Very of the Third Baptist church. After another hymn MT. Her ring rendered the solo, I'm Poor Sin nec.
 Dr. Slough took his scripture lesson from Matthew IS: 21, and the follow ing verses the story of the Canaan itish woman whose daughter, vexed of a devil, was healed. His text was the 2sth verse: O, woman, great Is thy faith.
 This lesson gives us Jesus definition of great character. To be called great by Jesus is true greatness, and here is woman that elicited from Jesus the greatest praise possible for a divine heart to bestow upon mortal men. This woman deserves a place beside the greatest who ever lived on earth, because of the obstacles she ov- ercame.
 First. she was woman of foreign nationality and of the Gentle king dom. The Jew was the ancient aristo-- crat, a man of peculiar caste. Next, when she came unboSoming her grief to him. he answered her not a word. It does not seem like our Lord to be so ungracious. If you have ever pray ed with all the earnestness of your heart. and the heavens remained braz- en, you can imagine how this woman felt. 7ts= s-
 Third, his disciples began to mur- mur while the woman stood pleading, and said, Send her away. More than this, Jesus speaks. I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of 1s- ratel. In implied word he seems to say Woman. you had better go home. If there ever was a woman whose faith was ever tested. here is the wom- an, and she disappointed him not. The secret of her success lies in her prayer. It was a short prayer, an encourage ment to us who have not time to pray long. and it was also a full confession of need. without which no prayer will ever be blessed. This woman had caught the spirit of true prayer, which today would move this city to it's depths. She was great in overcoming obstacles, great in the character of her request, great in knowledge, great in seizing the opportunity, and great in the result.
 Dr. Slough pronounced the benedic- ton at about 4.3O.

THIRTY MORE CONVERTS MADE
Evangess Greatly Encouraged by the Slough
 Tells who are The Children of God.

mitteth sin is of the devil, thus in- dicating our spiritual percentage. But we have come to the place where we have voted the devil out. he is not in the vocabulary of some of our churches. It is evident from this pas sage that we are of one family or the other as our lives are lived in right eousness or unrighteousness.
 It was wonderful truth in Johns eyes that we, the children of disobe- dience. the children of wrath, should be taken up to be the children of God.
 But it is only by faith in Jesus Christ that we can be adopted into the fam fly of God and out of that of the devil, for in no other way does God recog- nize childhood but by the acceptance of Jesus Christ as a Saviour. Keep His Commandments. Those are children of God that keep his commandments, and he that saith know him and keepeth- not his com
 mandments. is declared by the word to be a liar and the truth is not in him. Obedience is the proof of love and it is impossible for the family of God to exist with disobedience in the hearts of those supposed to be in the family. Obedience is the basis of all filial relation, and the soul cannot walk in love and peace that is not ODedlent 10 GO0.
 They are his children also who love the brethren. It is an impossibility for us to be the recipient of a grace
 such as is offered us. and then turn around and hate our brothers. If the spirit of hate in your heart you can set it down that you have never been to Calvary. Those also are his chil-
 dren who do not practice sin. To- night we are either the children of God II. practicing righteousness or sin. John is lifting before us no impossible ideal. He says that man who is child of God cannot sin because of the spirit that is ill him. He cannot knowingly, willingly, and Intentionally practice
 sin, if he is a child of God.
 How to Tell.
 We may know also that we are chil-
 dren of God by the spirit he has given us. In the heart of everyone in this building tonight is an indescribable something in connection with the spir- it of God that tells whether these | things are the truth. We know by the spirit within us and this is the mark of the child of God.
 And lastly we may tell whether we are the children of God, if we have overcome the world. This is the diffi- cult ground, but it is time that the
 church should cure these ills of men. should overcome the evil of rum and the debauchery of gambling, and it's time for the hour to strike when the church shall arise in the spirit of the Holy Ghost to take captive those that are bound in sin.
 Presenting these tests for his con- gregation to determine whether they could be counted children of God, ac- cording to the Scripture standard, Dr. Slough concluded his sermon with the invitation for those to come forward who were convinced that they wanted
 to measure up to these requirements as children of God.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 4.-Dynamiters tonight blew up $100,000 worth of steel appliances and construction in the new plant of the Corrigan, Mckinney com pany in the Cuyahoga river bottom and wrecked the tracks of the Newburg and South Shore railroad. Ten men em- ployed at the scene of the explosion escaped injury. The dynamite was placed under a huge traveling crane in process of erection. The detonation following it's explosion was heard for ten miles and the great steel beams of the crane flew into the air, crushed and bent like cardboard. A hole ten feet daap and 25 feet long showed where the crane had been and neighboring three foot concrete. wall was blown open. Labor troubles are blamed for the explosion, the fifth of magnitude here within two years. Damage to the railroad tracks which were torn up is believed to have been incidental to the attack on the plant.
