Take a stand at the wayside well some evening when the judge has on his high collar and sec how he gracefully balances all arid glides away with uncaring accuracy as if driven by instinct or drawn by a magnet in the south more powerful than the north star.

It started 2nd day of May, and iwo services have been held eyery day since except Saturday. Bro. J. M. Glenn was with us last week and la bored very earnestly. The only mis¬ take he made that, could be seen from our standpoint was the late hour of night seryice. The appointments were made far 8 o’clock sharp,; then start any time from 8 to 8/25. That aiways scatters the crowd and causes the peo¬ ple in be coming all times of the ser¬ vice- Tnis may never be corrected till a time lock is on the oigau. The service conducted by the Ep- wortli League Friday night was very interesting. A large crowd was pres¬ ent. Bro. Glenn’s talk on the subject of Mother was one of the best ever rendered here, provided he Bad sawed it in two in the middle and left off the last half. It was all good, but too long. Presiding Elder Stubbs is here this in all o t bis glory. He seems to real¬ ize the imporlance of deep preaching, and lie is pouring out the gospel to us in such measures as Ashburn has been needing a long time. His sermons are calculated to reach the high and the h'w, the meek and the great and allot the common people. All of the stores but three have closed for the day service this week. The school children and their teachers arc taking special interest in the meeting. La¬ boring people are interested, and a large crowd would t>e there every night if they could hear the service through and get home by 9 o’clock. Four joined by letter last night. Prof. E. W. F;iiu is tuuisliing most excellent music for the occasion. The meeting will last tell Sunday night at lease Let averybody go.
