in an unusual way for the experiences
Of the day. At 10 O'Clock Maysville's
popular pastor, Rev. w. s. Peters,
preached to a large congregation, a
sermon that was received with deep
interest and Impressions made that
could be clearly seen on the faces of
those present
One of the browning services was
the young peoples meeting at 3 p. m.
You may know that when Rev. Harrop
get a big crowd of young people be-
fore him there is going to be some
thing doing. He certainly put pep"
into the service. He kept the whole
audience in the tip toe of expectancy
as to what was coming next, through
out the meeting. And along with all
this he drove home some fundamental
lessons that will bear fruit in those
precious young lives. How glad we
all are that Brother Harrop is to con-
tinue to lead these services during the
week. And you can depend upon it
that all the young folks will be there
every afternoon.
The biggest week-night audience we
have ever seen in the tabernacle was
present at the evening service A choir
that over-fower the platform simply
made the camp ring with joyful mel
ody. Then the male quartet was in
extra fine trim singing very effective
ly, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot For
subject the evangelist took "The
Power of Influence" sermon that
was plea for Christian homes. Such
an earnest plea to parents we have
seldom heard The sermon was punctu-
ated with many amusing illustrations,
yet all with point to them that thrust
he truths of his message home to the
hearts of his hearers. At the close he
made special appeal for the parents
to come to the altar of prayer to which
a great crowd responded. Along with
the parents came several seekers. A
glorious altar service followed at
which many hearts were made happy.
And the day closed with gladness in
the hearts Of all and feeling that
victory is coming.
Prof. T. ]. Currey and wife came to-
day to spend few days in camp, es-
pecially to visit their son Robert our
talented pianist. Prof. and Mrs Currey
have Just returned from an extended
visit to the Northwest Their many
friends will regret to learn that they
are to leave soon to teach in Iowa for
next year. While we will regret to see
them go away yet we want to extend
to them our congratulations and good
wishes, for they are going at a salary
far beyond anything paid hereabouts.
