MEETING GROUNDS, Aug. SIN spite
OF threatening weather. which devel-
oped into a heavy downpour Of rain.
many visitors were on the camp
grounds last evening. Much enthus-
iasm was displayed both by the visi-
tors and the tenters in the sermon de-
llvered by the Rev. J. II. McCOmb. lie
had as his subject "The Little Brown
Church" lie laid much stress upon
the influence the little church had and
deplored the fact that greater religion
is gained from the small church in the
rural districts than In the large city
churches.
The subject was in keeping with the
j observance OF Rural Dav." which was
the schedule for yesterday. From the
cottage prayer meetings which were
held early in the morning until the
stirring service last evening the day
was a spiritual success The song
service conducted by Professor Clase
was especially pleasing. The woods
81 resounded with many old fashioned
hymns and the many MethOdists that
were present were not dampened by
the rain that was falling outside The
tabernacle.
Or. McComb in his afternoon sermon
said that what the church needs Is
: In speaking OF the 18th amendment
he said that the church having made
an effort 10 bring IL about was now
resting on her oars. They should now
try 10 find a substitute for the social
intercourse that went on in the sa-
~ loon. he said.
The children's melting yesterday
was Of unusual interest. Professor
Clase showed himself 10 be quite d
magician. Many strong moral lessons
are taught the children by this means
OF entertainment The lesson taught
yesterday was the value OF activity
and the fact that 20 be relieious does
not mean TO be forced TO give NJ
the many wholesome pleasures Of life
