meetinijs, with which the most devout
open the Joy, draw crowded houses at
every on-: of the four principal Me:h
xIim pliers of worship. From that
uriy hour on throughout the morning

to the Metr .o !uan Temple. C-- utral and
Howard stree; churches.
Tne 9 o'clock opening o;.c a: each
of these places saw greater audiences
than had before Joined in the first hymn
of the day. A long program of speeches
was gone through with considerable
promptness, all being listened to with
the deepest interest and applauded with
hearty enthusiasm. Open air meet
ings were held at half a dozen places
in widely separated districts of the city,
as well as the music stand in the Golden
Gate Park and the court of the Palace
Hotel. Sng service, prayer and
made . up the programs at these
meetings which were attended by large
crowds.
