Af.er this they all went to breakfast with a NEST
| excellent appetite. This was scarcely over before
the majority were hard at it again, praying, singing
and exhorting until 10 o'clock and at these periods
the noise the shouting, the yelling and actually the
screaming was terrific. In every public tent not
used for eating, there could be seen crowd, per-
feet mob of human beings, male and fenale gathered
together At first they would all stand up, the males
side, and the females on the other. One stout
muscular brother would begin ihus:-" Glory to
God. HaeIujah Blessed Jesus look dewn upon
us and our dear sisters (amen from a dozen voices
Break hearts-barn out the old stuff (amen.
amen , in us; light up flame here, God Ooh God y
mercy and light pour down upon us, (pour away,
Jesus-oh my Cody Go ahead, oh God, and create
us all over again. (amen-begin directly. Jesus }

Lord for the love of Jesus (de God, do) smite the
Devil hip and thigh-give us Samson's jaw bone OF
to smte him with, (amen, amen, from the
whole crowd.) Halelujah. glory
Here some Of the sisters would begin to cry and
below tremendously, with Interpretations OF "Oh
nv poor lost soul. oh where shall go to get hlled
with Jesus9" Another brother would take up the
praying department as soon one had exhausted
himself and carry it in this wise" Don't let US
give out, oh. God faint by the way; give US
good old fashioned Holy Ghost lungs and make US
all clean grit unto godlinessr Then third brother
would cry out !" Amen. glocy, more glory, Gene
now all you tina. want TO be made clean, get down IN
to the dust, every of vou; down, down. Then
the young girls would hudde together, and drop
down first on their knees, then roll over on their
sides, then all ways, in the most singular state OF
confusion, 10 the great arrangement of their head
dresses and the peculiar peril ottheir and
neither garments. Then ensued a scene of the wild
cripton, Order regularity, decency, modesty,
all were set at defiance. This appeared to be the
grand reliance for the Cody 70 CONVEX. sinners unto
salvation; and never did wild devils and maniacs in
mad house make greater efforts drive youn;;
and weak minded people perfectly crazy. AT these
private praying spells (Which occurred promiscu-
ously all round the camp, during the intervals OF
yorshp) the preachers appeared not at all TO inter
fere. Those who prayed acted without any concert;
sometimes two or three going with full head OF
steam al and the same time; and besides these,
At least a dozen throwing in their nterJections OF
" Glory" Hallelujah," "Mercy,"" see Jesus
" Here comes the Saviour" The big lusy brothers.
after they got the sisters all down their knees,
crawed in am onest them. and rubbed their
hands, and rubbed the sisters hands, and thus ad-
dressed them" Dear sisters. do you love Jesus"
(Sobs, and cries of = Oh! oh. ye-ye-yes.O Not
half much as he loves you. Think what love is
don't go away empty tonight, dear sisters; you can
get filled if you wish-flled with love divine"
I" Amen," s'amen,'' glory" shout the whole
crswd and thus they carry on till the horn sounds
At he preaching and public service, they are all
more orderly; but there is a very small msdicum Of
talent displayed by their regularly ordained clergy
men who have offciated here. The Rev. Jason Lee
he'd ferda in In ne -
sion he had been there and was going again; but he
wanted money He said only $50 900 has been granted
brethren, by the board. and we want 900 more
we are going 20 take Is preachers and Their wives,
and four single young ladies, TO benefit the poor
Oregon Indians You that say we Dug hi to have the
money please say aye" Then all shouted aye"
/" Now you have all voted literally. please 20 give

must not pass by man. woman. or child so that all
may have chance TO give and be blessed, or TO with

. The gentleman rho lost $50 yesterday can have

ard hope for the Of Christ since he never ex-
pected to find his money again. he'll give at least
half Of it for the Oregon mission" very res
pectable collection was taken up, and then more
praying and singing, and then another meal =
Every thing was admirably arranged TO alternate
during the day. First . dose Of cold water then
dose OF prayer, then dose of singing, then meal
Of victuas, then more praying and preaching. then
more worldly food, then spiritual food. and so
on till night when they all topped of with the kiss
Of peace and then laid down in the straw.
Such is the routine and daily duties Of each day
at a camp meeting The first thing in the morning
wash pray sing prepare breakfast. pray, sing, and
eat and then sing and pray till ten o'clock; and as
all cannot eat az once, some are praying and some
are singing and some eating all the time, from
dawn till ten o'clock. Preaching commences then,
during which time all eating IS stopped in the tents
of the godlv the public worship lasts till aeon. Then
all rush the feeding cribs; those that shut out
OF the first table pray till their turn TO eat comes,
and till all served. Then they GO at II for
praying and singing till two; at two public worship
and lasts till four; after this till early candle
light the greatest fun aud folly takes place. Then
the shouting, and yelling, and raving and cries Of
q Glory. /" III lleujah." heard at the highest.
Then the brothers and sisters mingie together in
most admired disorder, and then comes the fainting
and revival and salvation Of sinners by the dozen.
Last night, after the horn sounded for worship at
o'clock much of this crying and shouting was going
on and several brothers sent round from the pull
pit to put stop 10 this outpsuring Of the spirit, be
cause IL nte rfered with the preaching. In tent.
called the " Allen street tent, four young girls
between the ages Of IL aud u. crying and sebbing
as though their hearts would break, calling Christ
10 save them from hell; and around them four
or FIVE satanic looking fellows, between thirty and
forty wears Of age. rubbing their hands holding their
heads and whispering their heliish nsisuations into
the ears Of these poor, helpless Young creatures,
who had power TO offer the least resistance TO any
Of their demonacal designs. had they attempted 10
practice any.
And in this manner wore the night anywhere
