LAKE VIEW.—For the last four weeks I have been holding a series of meetings in the Methodist Episcopal meeting-house, which is well lighted, and has a seating capacity of six hundred. The house would not hold all the people who came to some of the meetings. I spoke three times for the pastor, and was invited by him to take charge of one of his revival efforts. This I could not do at the time, owing to a call to a funeral and the interest of my meetings.

My wife and others who were present say that I never spoke with more plainness and with more power. Although I was occupying the pulpit of a popular minister and a popular church, I remembered that I was “not to spare,” but to speak plainly and with boldness. During these meetings I had a very large attendance of young people, and for several evenings I had seven school-teachers.

My new charts help very much in making the message plain. I have in all, about twenty charts, and although they have cost me much, they are well worth their cost.

The evenings when I spoke on the change of the Sabbath, and the United States in prophecy, with the use of my charts, it was generally admitted, “Surely this man is telling us the truth, for we can see it as well as hear it.” I am looking forward with much hope that great good will come from this series of meetings.

My health is good, and has been ever since the Lord healed me three years ago, at the time of our camp-meeting at Mt. Vernon, Ohio. To him be all the praise. My courage never was better in the Lord, nor my faith in the message stronger. E. J. VAN HORN.
