The week's religious meeting, conducted by the Uev. J. C. Rowan of Camden, came to a close Sunday night in the open air at the court house square, in the presence of the largest congregation, composed of all the denominations of the town, ever assembled together in Lancaster, there being about 500 people present. Mr. Rowan used as his text Mark 14:71, "But he began to curse and to swear, saying I know not this man of whom you speak." In a logical, eloquent and convincing sermon, Mr. Rowan traced the steps by which Peter came to deny his Master. He showed how each sin leads to other and deeper sins and leaves deep scars which cause decay and ruin. To many who had heard the whole excellent series, this sermon was a titting climax and the last was perhaps the best. It was Indeed a privilege to the people of Lancaster to hear this gifted young minister from Camden. He is original, interesting and earnest and has won a warm place in the hearts of our people. Rev. H. ft. Mureliison thanked Mr. Rowan for the messages he brought to -our people, thanked all who had come to hear him. the choir which had helped with the music and all who had assisted in any way. Mr. Rowan thanked the congregation most heartily for their evidences of appreciation. We have secured from this able minister the promise of the manuscript of one of the sermons ho preached here last week and hope to give it to our readers in an earlv issue of The News.
