The second week OF the lecture
course at Kilbourne park has opened
very successfully. The big tent was
crowded to overflowing again last
evening. showing something of the big
interest caused by the lecturer.
The subject taken from the text:
IF ye had faith as grain Of mustard

showed that true faith rests entirely
upon the Word Of God, not on any
Isupposition Or presumption Of man
kind. The topic of the afternoon
lecture was: Presumption. Pre-
sumption was pointed out as satan's
counterfit of the faith OF God. which
is the genuine.
The subject as announced for this
evening will be: "A Pattern OF the
True,a or THE Connecting Link Be

tracts large audiences.
