THE WAR'S PROGRESS The Americau operations at San tiago a:e meeting with as gieat a degree of success 43 did those of Admiral Dewey at Manila. Tiie Spauisli fleet under Cervciu attempted to run out of the Larborwhcro it lias been bottled lip on Sunday morning last wlion one of tUe most terrible battles was fought tiiat has over occurred on water and the whole Spanish fleet wa.? destroyed, whilo Cervora and 160O of his marines aro captives to the United Stales lieot. This was effected with the iusiguilicaut loss of one American killed and a few wounded. The land operations, however, have not been so successful and large numbers of United States troops have fallen Ibtouud Santiago before the Spanish fire. Announcement of the fall of this city had not been received ai lime of writing, bat the news was ex'- ptcled at any time. With Corvcra's ships destroyed and Santiago at the mercy of Admiral Sampson's licet it can bo only a matter of a short time until Santiago is taken. And then ? Will Spain give up the fight or in her bllud pride will she continue to daali lu 1 forces against the inexorable rock of -Vii-ciiL-an arms to linr utter ile- Btiuciion '? Tlieao are questions wLicli the immediate future alone will settle. .\ wiao man has said " ?rido gotlli bofore a fill," and llii^ ap^.oa. s U) be again exomp'ifu'd in the caoo of Spain.

Their tenets differ very little from those of the Metliodiat church, excepting in that they iiisiMt on liapti.sni by immer- sion. In the ordinance of the Lord's â- upper they include feet washing, the precedent for which they find in the 12th chapter of John, the sisters wa8hin){ each other's feet, and the bretheren doing like- wise. They also greet each other with a " holy kiss " under extraordinary circuiii- stanccH. The sacraniciii is scmetimes divided into two parts, the feet wiishiiig being done one day and ordinary sacra- ment partaken of on the day followtii!<. The writer of these lines had the pleas- ure of atrending a Meunonito camp meet- inj; in Derby township recently, and was much impressed with the deep religious fervor and intense euriiesiness exhibited. The preaching was vigorous and the audi- ence oxtremc-Iy sympathetic and circum- spectly demonstrative. One could very easily ima;;ino himself, without any effort, to be in an old fashioned Methodist meet- ing. In fact there were elderly and ((rey-headed MethiKlists present who heartily asaistod in these meetings. Such expressions ns " Bless the Lord," "Glory Vie to Ills name, " " Thanks bo to God, " etc., frtqueiitly occurred in response to the preacher's assertions. The iiiidience was extremely sensitive and appeared to carry nerves which vibrated to every tou^h of the npeuker. A simple illustra- tion would cause them to weep freely, and among the women audiblu sobs wore hoard as the spcalter, referring to the attractions in heaven, drew a picture of his two boys whom he expected to meet there. It is a fact that during testimony nieetiiiKS there aro what these enthusias- tic people call " manifestations. " The writer saw one frail little women who had been known, when under this in'lu- ence, to jump up and down on the plat- form a distance of one foot in heinht for half nil hour at a time, a physical iiiipos siltility under ordinal y cirouiustances ; and another 8tron<; man who in the same tnince-liko condition held out liis arms at full length for half an hour, also an iinpoaaibility nmUr ordinary physical conditions. These instances were told us by outside eye witneKsoH. This people believe these t'ltio .supernatural manifest- ations, or as a Mothoiliat would say, " a baptism of the Holy Ghost." After the senium I'lillo^ed a love foasl in the exact manner of Methodism. This was not iiioiiiitonous in any dM.<iee, an'.l was marked by the coiicuriont sinking of several faii.iliar hyiiins, such as "Looking this way," " When Ihe saints are march- ing ill," "Alas nrid did my Saviour ble-'d," Hiiil orliers, siiii); wiili niilili eiicfi;y Thi.i vi-.is foUowoil by tl.u beiiidictioii.
