The morning sermon was by Rev. C. H. Littleton, from 1 Timothy, 1,15. A num- ber of those tented on the ground went to Mll- Jersville in the morning, and attended the fu- neral of Mrs. Mattie Beard, daughter of Mr. R. D.

He spoke of the peace christianity gave tbe believer. During the latter part of the afternoon there was considerable social visiting and the young people were out in force on the railroad prom- enading. In the evening the pulpit was occu- pied by Rev. Dr. J. T. Ward, (president of the Western Maryland College), who preached from Proverbs xv, i1 and i3, a’ telling sermon, in which he addressed the unconverted and asked them to “be still” and reflect. He urged them to report in season and not resist the striving of God's spirit which woula come of retiection. It was thought during the sermon that tae mourner’s bench would be crowded on the invi- Walter Stone, who, by ihata pentient came forward, and then two young men presented themselves.

She took for the basis of her remarks Ephesians vi-10-18, “the Christians armor.” This meeting was of a solemn character, and resulted in the conver- sion of a young lady. At 6 the “young people’s” meeting was held in the large tent on Broadway, and wes Jed by the same lady. At this meeting the con- verts of the preceding meetings related their experience in a very impressive manner. ‘The services at $:30 consisted of a sermon by the Rev. C. H, Mytinger, who took for his text that familar passage found in Luke xil-20: “Thou fool this night thy soul shall be required of thee.” In his discourse the speaker endeav- ored to impress upon those present the neces- sity of immediately giving their hearts to God, and preparing themselves to answer God’s sum- mons Lo matter when it shall come. In closing he invited those who wished to be saved to come forward. He was followed in an earnest exhortation by the Rev. L. M. Gardiner of Ry- land Chapel.
