people being unable to get seats. Rev.
b. NJ Sharbough preached TWO most
excellent sermons, especially at the
evening service His text was taken
from Revelation 3rd chapter and goth
verse, Behold, | stand at the door
and knock, if any man hear my voice
ond open the door, | will come into
him and will sup with him and him
with me-" The writer feels the in
adequacy Of any attempt to describe
the beauty and truth of this grand
discourse. suffice it to say it was one
of superior knowledge, marvellous pa
thos. loving entreaty and most tendes
erly and lovingly appealing to those
out of Christ. The only mystery IS
how anyone could resist such earnest
pleadings and continue to drift with
the current of doubt and infidelity. No

on many hearts. This morning a

Rev. Guice, it was indeed a spiritual
feast. Tomorrow beginning at $3.50
there will be service lasting all
during the day until II at night. This
service will be conducted by different
leaders and there will be coming and
going at different hours so no one eX-
cept those who feel so disposed will
remain the entire time. The ministers
feel that with this continued conse-
Grated prayer service that a mighty
victory will be won. The regular SER
vices will be held at 10 a. m. and 7:45
p. m. Everybody cordially invited to
Join in all these prayer services. Be-
tween 90 and so accessions have been
received, and still numbers more are
expected. Another cottage prayer
meeting will be added this afternoon.
The places of prayer meeting this af-

hope that Poe's Raven" will not be
too greatly discouraged, A Brooklyn
school teacher excluded Longfellow's
Launching OF the Ship on the
ground that some OF its imagery was
indelicate, but Longfellow is generally
regarded as safe reading for tender
minds. A century ago a German
schoolboy wrote to poet begging him
to write no more long poems. The
boys had to learn poems or take flog-
gings, and most Of them had been
pretty thoroughly logged. This
schoolboy in the interest OF his class
pleaded for very little more poetry and
no more long poems. Gray's sEiegyv
is about as long poem as any boy
should be compelled to commit to
memory.
