AT THE TENT. large Crowds Continue to Flock to the Meetings. The services at the Baptist tent Sunday afternoon ami evening were largely at? tended. The afternoon services were for men only and a great many were present. Dr. White's subject was "The Sanctity of Marriage." He took his text from the Ten Commandments, bused on these words, "Thou shalt not commit adul? tery. " Here the speaker explained the work of God when be made man and wo? man in the Garden of Eden and con? tinued: "Marriage is a divine institution. Men say it Is a civil contract, but men should look upon it in all its sacredness. For no cause should a man permit any? thing to come between himself and wife. I know it is hard to do In some cases, but , if you hud your wife do ?not get along well it is because ryou do not treat her with the love and tenderness that you should. Men have long tongues as well as women. I venture if you go home and measure tongues you will find yours the longest. The most prevalent siu to day is chat of impurity. The prevalence of this sin is the cause of my remarks this evening. You can't keep evil thoughts out of your mind, but you,can keep from harboring them. If your life is right the mind will be right. You must guard yourself against these things. Christ gave us the on'y grouud for divorce, and it is the only legitimate ono. This coun? try is becoming full of impurity on ac? count of the loose divorce laws. Any man who has gotten divorce from his wife and married another without tho reason as based in the B'ble is living an * adultere-. I would not have resting on my head that which rests upon some of our legislators. Ono wife is enough for you fellows. The first thing that leads to impurity is vile literature. "Then another is the modern drinking houses. But then I don't know anything about them, do I? 'That is what a certain gentleman in your town thinks. Tho modern club life has a tendency to keep a man from his home." The cougregation at the tent Sunday night was the largest in the history of the meeting. Rev. T. J. Shipmnn pro sided, and Rev. Wm. Lunsford offered the onening prayer. In opening his remarks, Dr. White said that the good order that . has prevailed at these meetings was a compliment to Roanoke. The text was Irom the 80?h chapter of Job and the 18th verse. The subject was, "The Sin Against the Holy Chost." Dr. White snid that he had rather preach on the subject of "(Jod so loved the world," but he thought it his duty to preach from the text above announced. Among other things Dr. White said: "God is omnipotent. He created all the world and all there Is in it. He has power to create and poiser to save. Our God has nil power. God is present with the Christian whether at home or abroad. Not only is God present and sees every? thing, but He knows it as well. God knows the secrets of your hearts and He knows you through and through. Re? member, God knows you and iu the book of remembrance he has everything re? corded. Were you to treat your employer as you have treated Jesus you would have been turned out of your position. Be? cause of sin there is wrath. The wnil the damned is crying out to night from hell, 'Don't come down here.' Hell was not made for man. It was made for the devil and his angels. God does not want any man to go to hell, and the man who uocs there goes over the body of Jesus. God has given to men judgment anil reason, and when you get under the influence of whiskey you injure that reason. When our great n en die it is said that the cause is apoolexy. I call it Mlqourplexy.' "The point I .want to speak to you about to night is 'The Sin Against tho Holy Ghost.' Is this a sin? Yes. What is that sin:- It iu blaspheming the Holy Ghost. Let us be careful what we say about good works. I feel sorry for some people in Roanoke. 'I don't care what you Bay about J. L. "White, but I fear some of you have sealed your doom on account of what they have salti about this mating. You people who have promised to go to work for Jesus and have' failed to keep that promise, have not only lied to the people, but to God. .Christ is not eolng to lorce you into the kingdom. The best friend we have in the world to? day is Jesus Christ. Without Him we can do nothing. Day by day you are hardening your heart. God pity the dy? ing men and women in this teut to night. Don't tempt God to night." At the close of the servico a large num? ber came forward and accepted Christ. Including the two meetings Sunday the conversions in all were nearly one hun? dred. THE NIGHT SERVICES. Last night was the last time Mr. Mal lory will conduct the song service of the tent meeting. He will leave for his home in Macon, Ga., to day. Among those present were Dr. M. E. Broaddus,of Bris? tol, who conducted the opening service. Dr. White read the requests for prayers and then lead in prayer for the persons that prayer was requested for. Dr. White announced that this morning at 10 a. ru. his subject would be "The Thorn in the Flesh." Services at 8 p. m. Wednesday at 10 a. m. services for h-omeu only. Sub? ject, "Woman's Work in the Kingdom." Dr. Brnughton said: As this Is the last service that Brother Mallory will be with us, I thought you would like to know it, lor we have all learned to love him and now I am going to ask Brother B. A. Jones to lend us in prayer that the bless? ings of God may rest upon Brother Mal? lory and his business and his family." Mr. Jones led in prayer for this purposj. Text for to night, John 3rd chapter, verses 5 and 7, "Ye must l>o born again," "Except a man be born of water and of the spirit he can not enter the 'kingdom of God." "The old corrupt heart must be changed, this stubborn will must be brought into harmony with God's will. God cannot be just anil have fellowship with unjust men, so before we can hnve fellowship with God, we must be born again, cleansed from sin and justified by Christ. Two impossible things are taught by those texts. First you cannot enter heaven without regeneration. Second, you cannot change your own heart, for. says the word, you must be born again, and not only be born again, but boiu of the spirit and the water. "Sinner you are dead in trespasses and in sin and a Head man cannjt do any? thing, so you must be quickened by the spirit. Reformation will not do; you may give up your evil habits and grow better anil better, but this will not bring you into the kingdom. The prayers of others will not regenerate you." At the conclusion of his sermon he re? quested all those who would take Christ as their [Saviour to come forward, and fourteen persons came forward. V/HAT THEY ARE DOING. Lecture of Dr. Frissell ou the Work of the Colored People. Dr. H. B. Frissell, of the Hampton Normal 'and Agricultural Institute for the colored people~nud Indians, lectured bist night at the High ^treet Baptist Church to a large audience. The lecture was. attentively listened to and much interest was manifested by the audience. The lecture was illustrated by the means of n stereopticon which threw views of the Hampton School upon a can? vass. Dr. Frissell went into details nud showed by his illustrations and by the past record of the school he represents what the colored people are capable of doing in the way of advancement. He showed how the school had grown since the war from two teachers and seventeen students until now there are over ninety teachers employed and 1,000 people are receiving an education in the institution. It takes about $100,000 annualiy to de fray the extenses of the school. This amount is raised as follows: $20,000comes from the government; $10,000 interest on the land scrip fund: $20.0(10 from the interest on investments and $70,000 is raised from the North.

Mr. Isaac Homer, proprietor of the Burton House, Burton, W. Va., and one of the most widely known men in the State was cured of rheumatism after three years of suffering. He says: "I have not sufficient command of language to convey any idea of what I suffered; my physicians told me that nothing could be done for me and my friends were fully convinced that nothing but death would relieve me of my suffering./ In June, 1894, Mr. Evans, then salesman for the Wheeling Drug Company, rocommended Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At this time my foot and limb were swollen to more than double their normal size and it seemed to me my leg would burst, hut soon after I began using the Pain Balm the swelling began to decrease, the pain to leave, and now I consider that I am entirely cured."
