The most powerful sermon of the series thus far preached by Evange- list Fife in this city was that on Thursday night, on the power and I work of the Holy Spirit: the need of the indwelling of the Holy Ghost for the strengthening of theChristian j heart and the enlightening of the Christian mind unto a right compre- hension of the Scriptures and the I manifold and important duties of the Christian life. This was the ablest, most persuad ing, most convincing, most terroriz ing, most uncontrovertible presenta tion of the wholv; sweep of the Chris tian life and the all-pervadiug and always abiding presence of the Holy Spirit, that has never forsaken the world Bince the dav of Pentecost.and that will abide to teach the Christian heart seeking God all truth unto the consummation of the world. At the close of the discourse Mr. Fife called upon all uneonveited sinners who desired the prayers o God's people and the baptism of the Holy Spirit to come for- w rd and give hi thei hand and - fully two hundred from all parts of ., , . , , j ... the tent went eagerly forward,' while the vat congregation, Christiau and sinner alike, swayed with emotion as the wind sways the soughing trees of a mighty forest.

The services Saturday morning were held in the Baptist church, ow- ing to the rain, and that CQmmodi- qus edifice could not accommodate the large congregation. Mr. Fife's sermon at this service was in his characteristic style of earnestness, eloquence and force: conyipqing, convicting, reclaiming and. convert-? ng, and when he called for mam testations of church members whose feryor had been renewed "and pur-, posea for a better fulfillment of Christian duties quickened, there " gn au oyer ine cnurcn : ana wnen he called upon sinners desiring pi ay eio auu icjieuieuue mejr ettuuu up .1 .

Mr. Fife is not an emotional preacherrny more than the Bible is emotional, which is virtually the sum an substance of all his sermons. He makes religion, as it shoutd be, a practical, every day influence in our lives. He urges and proves with cu mulative Scripture texts that a cnurcn s strength, aoes not consist in worldly elements, such as large mem bersnip, prominent families, great wealth of gold or talents, popularity of creed or brilliancy of the pulpit, but that it does consist in the spirtual intelligence of its members; their unity and" w-operative harmony; the purity of their doctrines and the m- ia those doctrines; the abiding presence and pwoer of . , TT , .

Within this dis tance in the narrow valley was on Saturday a population of between 40,000 and 45,000 souls, of whom a arge fraction were exposed to the flood and tire, and the entire eigh teen miles is a continuous scene of desolation Iu Oil City proper the fiery flood destroyed one mile ot proper ty along the creek on the west side. Across the creek from the mam portion of the city, not a house is standing between the creek and he hill, and not a vestige of life can be eeeu except many searchers for the dead. Along the east side, from the mouth ot Oil creek for a distance of three-quarters a mile, every building except one along the creek has been destroyed, lhis strange monument to the death laden-flood is a frame dwelling house standing among the rums It was in the midst of the flood and Are and yet it was passed by. The curtains are on all the win dows and the noon meal stands on the table; but the lormer occu pants of this lonely house are among the dead. Ihey attempted to escape, and were caught in the sea of flame on the east side, There seems no doubt that the flood undermined and overturned a tank of benzine, the contents of which covered the surface of the water. A locomotive passing over the bridge dropped some liye coals into the flood and this started the fire. There is no abatement ot the flood, and that has interfered with the search for bodies. The flood alone would have caused serious disaster without its nrery accom paniment. Nearly eyerybody re covered from the water shows the action of fire, demonstrating that they had been caught in the flames and lumped into the river to quench the burning. Most of these were in houses suddenly surround. ed by the flood, bearing fire upon its surface, and they had only the choice of the method of death to burn up in the houses or burn up and down in the fiery flood outs side: - your blood is vitiated, cleanse it without delay by the use ai Ayers Sar- e&pariila .
