Miss Grace SAKE Addresses Large
Audience at the First Presby
terian Church.

The women's meeting at the First
Presbyterian church was in charge OF
Miss Grace SAKE. Miss Maciaren
conducted the singing. which was as
usua an important feature of the
meeting.
Mrs. Carnes. Mrs. DeKoven and sew
eral other Canton ladies were present.
Mrs. Carnes was asked to the platform
and in a short and very earnest ad-
dress she told OF some OF the mar
velous things which are still taking
place there as a result OF the Sunday
, campaign and urged especially the
workers In the cottage prayer meet
ings, as through this means they aim
TO reach every home in the city. In
concluding her remarks Mrs. Carnes
said that the Cantonians who had
come here with the delegation had
asked her to convey to the Wheeling
people their sincere depreciation for
the excellent hospitality extended to
them. which she said would never be
forgotten.
In closing. Mrs. Carnes told OF the
prayer meetings held on the train
when the Canton people returned
home. She said they began at the
rear coach as they left the city and
had just reached the smoking car
When the train reached Canton. Mrs
/ Carnes said II was a joyous finish 10
a most joyous visit.
Miss SAKE Speaks.
Miss SAKE took for her theme the
, experience OF the children OF Israel
Nom Egypt TO Canaan as being the
e.Nerience OF every human soul who
passes from sin to sanetifcation. and
likened the forty years in the wilder
ness 10 that period I'm which a soul
accepts Christ but who is not wholly
conformed to Gods will and therefore
trys to follow god and serve the devil
at the same time.
BY means of maps and many scrip
ture readings Miss SAKE presented the
subject in a most impressive and in
structive manner. and those who
heard her will not be able soon TO for.
get the beautiful truths which were
brought out. Probably many present
had never before heard so perfect an

Text for Year.
Just at the close OF the meeting
Miss SAKE was asked for her text or
motto for the year. which she said was
found in John $50: "Ie must in
! crease. but ! must decrease" There
was considerable discussion by some
OF those present in regard to this text.
as II seemed such an ideal one for any
Christian and particularly for workers
or leaders. as II seemed TO apply in
all cases. n the timid leader can feel
that n II not necessary 10 make n
flourish OF the meeting but only to
| help some one else 10 see and know
Z Christ es she sees and knows. she
will find self.forgetfulness. And the
confident leader who always gets along
smoothly and whose frieI-.s congrat.
ulate her upon the manner in which
she conducts n meeting. should re-
member that unless she has been able
n liit the minds OF her listeners higher
than herself-if their thoughts are
conferred upon her more than upon
her subject. then she has put too much
Of herself and not enough Of Christ
Into her meeting He must increase
but ] must decrease" and every one
who would speake for Jesus should

that she herself 10 lost sight Of and
those who hear her see only Christ
