The 'committeo of the day, with the Rev. George Fulton, chairman, had plauned extensively aud successfully for the occasion. There were very many and very handsome potted plants and many carnations used iu decorating the tabernacle. Easy chairs were provided for the aged and infirm and they were brought from and returned to their homes in auto mobiles. The service of the afternoon was in- i fymal. Mr. Miller anounced that,! contrary to the usual custom, the babies j would not be taken to the nursery, but mothers should keep their babies with j them during this service. The service opened with a song serv ice by the congregation, conducted by ' Prof. Hohgatt. Prayer was offered by i the Rev. Mr. Fulton. This was foi- j lowed by » short talk by Mr. Miller, • when he said he wanted the mothers; to get acquainted with each other and j they should all talk to those near them j and, if any had their knitting with i them, thev should knit. Alter a short i time spent socially, Mr. Miller said he j wished to ask some questions. First I j was the native State of the mothers j present. In response it was learned ! I that the large majority were Penusvl- I vaniins The following States were represented: Ohio, Illinois, lowa, Del aware, New York, Missouri, West Vir ginia and Indiana. With the announce ment of the iast named applause that nearly shook the tabernacle caine from the evangelistic party and was taken i up by the congregation. There was one representative from Denmark aud two : | from England. !TIIP next question from Mr. Miller was the ages of some of the mothers present. He said he would ask only the i ! ones who were nearest the front, as he i feared the younger ones farther back I would not want to tell. Of the moth- j ers who were asked and told their ages, j there were sixteen over SO, three So, ! one S8 aud one 31. The two oldest | were given seats of honor on the plat- I form, escorted by the ushers and pas tors, and were presented with flusters of carnations. A so.o was si!hig by Miss Cree and a duet bv Miss tree and Prof. Hohgatt. Mr. Miller then gave a short talk ! on "Christianity in the Home.'' He emphasized the necessity of the moth er's Christian nurture aud training of! her children. Following Mr. Miller's address he requested the old mothers | to suggest some of the old-, old hymns , | they sang when when they were young. | Among the hymns sung were "Oh, j When Shall I See .Tesusf" "When 1 j Can Read My Title Clear,"' "The Old 'Time Religion," "A Charge to Keep II Have,'' "Good News Gone to Cana an." The pastors led this singing. Re-i | cision cards were distributed to the ' congregation aud several requests for ; prayer were received. The ser\ ices i closed with prayer and benediction by j the Rev. Mr. Re.h. When the evening serv ice began the ] buildiug was filled, a large number of I persons standing. An expected dele : gation from Harrisbnrg failed to ar ' rive, but the members of the G. A R. and W. R. 0. of Mechanicsburg were present. A crowd from New Kingston was in attendance, as well as a large j party from Shiremanstown. As usual, the choir sang a number of selections In response to the query what hymn they preferred, Shiremans tow nasked for "Onward, Christian Soldiers." and Nev; Kingston for '•Nearer, My God, to Thee." The I choir s.:lit; these hymns. Tli*n. whil«* Prof. Hohgatt use.i a -mall i'nited •State* flag as a baton and three large ; t!;?gs iloated at the rear ot' the choir, all iu the house rose aud saug in honor of the veteran:. "The Red. White and Blue." For a while the electric lights were out, but the music continued. Prof. Hohgatt played a trombone solo. 1 The Rev. C. F. Raach offered an earn ■ est prayer. Prof. Hohgatt saug "The ; Great Judgment Morning." Mr. Miller's text is found in the 27th verse of the 9th chapter of He brews: "It is appointed unto men ' ouee to die, but after that the .judg ment." Mr. Miller said that, if part! of the text is true, all is true. If any ! ! of the Bible is a lie. all is a lie, and, if j part is true, all is true. No one can | deny that it is appointed unto man to i die and it must then be admitted that | the judgment will follow. It is not ! death that men fear, it is the judgment j which follows. Skeptics, unitarians, i universalists, infidels, no matter what they say when in Health, when they come down to death realize that a judgment awaits them. Even tlie devil helieves in 'hell and judgment. Every thing written in the book which will i be read at the judgment will be a true | record of our deeds: we will remember j them. When men write biographies of men they usually forget to mention the bad, but enumerate all the good. God writes it all. "Some one has remarked that some' of the men in the Bible were pretty | bad, that Noah got drunk. They were j like men nowadays, they sinned, and God did not do like human biographers, omit the bad, God wrote it down. Noah i got drunk, and God wrote it down, i Achan stole some gold, and God wrote ' j it down." The speaker here enumer-i , ateii several more instances. "Our evil; deeds are recorded in the judgment j i book. Xo one knows how soon he will | t be called into judgment. We can offer \ t no excuse that is valid in the sight of j < God. for not seeking salvation. Some I i people say their business occupies all I their time and they have no time to be-11 come Christians. Tkit is uot true, we I
