In the Tented City.
Tuesday morning dawned a little
cool, but with a possibility of SUN
shine and the 500 O'clock and $3.50
meetings we're held as usual. The
main part OF the morning being set
apart for the Commencement eXer-
| cises OF the university, no religious
services were held until after dinner
! 1t has formerly been the custom to
hold a platform meeting in the inter
est of the university and IL was re-
Iported that such a meeting would be
| held this year, but when the board of
trustees finished mp their annual
meeting on Monday night, 1t was de-
cided that this year it would be un-
necessary.

This year fun board of twenty
one trustees was elected and il is the
first time in several years that the
board has been complete, seven being
elected each year to serve three

Afternoon and Evening Services.
During the afternoon it was given
out that Dr. George A. Mclaughlin,
the president of the university, and
who for year past has been away
on leave of absence on account Of
his health, had consented to a re-
election and that his wife. formerly
known among Holiness workers as
Mrs Jennie Reeves Walker. active in
eyangelistiC work, would take the
place of matron OF the dormitOry.
This is q most happy result, as DR..
McLoughlin has done large things for
the university in former years and
under his direction the institution
hnn of inn vida
ton. Dr.. Mclaughlin is still identi-
fed with his publishing interests in
Chicago and is widely known as an
author and writer on theological sub
jec's. --~..
DR.. Chas. ]. Fowler preached at the
afternoon service and spoke from
Hebrews 1871. During the service
Mrs. Rosa T. Deane of Sioux City
rendered an effective vocal solo and
at 700 p. m, the ring or group meet
ing was held indoors on account Of
the chilly air. At 1880 Rev. and
Mrs. J. NJ. Harris led in the praise
service. Prayer was offered by Miss
Lurana Terrell. The speaker was
Rev Fred MeSch, the speaker Of the
morning. He selected his text from
Mark 9:47 and delivered a forcible
discourse from that familiar incident.
AS an evidence of Gods care and
guidance, the story is told of Fred
Meschs start in his course at C. II.
u. and how he won out. Prior to
his conversion he was a gambler and
everything else that went with it and
The transition or transformation from
that to Holiness preacher was in
deed radical. He came here to school
with a vile aud child and u cash
capital of 20 cents and from faith in
God and his own personal ambition
he mas achieved success, in the face
OF trials and obstacles that few can
realize.
