Camp Meeting mt Sing Sing.
SING SING, August IL, lSt5.
After mailing my letter of this morning, took the
stage and arrived at the camp in time TO hear bro
ther Joseph Law, deliver the following prayer from
the preachers platform, in this style:-
"oh, Almighty and living God, wo pray that
thou wilt look down in mercy upon thy numerous SER
Lord to fly that refuge which thou hast provided for
us-may our souls be delivered from iniquity, and
from that wrath with which sinners are Threatened
Nord forgive miserable sinners) May all the sinners
here take warning, and flee to the bosom OF God from
Divine Grace and teach u.s. that dependence should
to be on Thee abovc-C Amen" by htty)-and that we
should look to the Lord Jesus alone for safety who
ing held this camp ground, and may it be the
Of reclaining many sinners who have stray cd
from thy fold. Qord SO will it, Yes Lord, yes will
it, We pray, Lord for the santifcaton Of the whole
church assembled here We pray that thou wouldst in
revival as was never before witnessed (Amen) Oh God
come down and baptze US while we pTay-(Do Lord
Amen-amen) and save us through Jesus Christ, our
Lord-Amen--Do Lord-Amen-Glory."
The meeting ere broke up. and hearing some
noise in the northeast corner OF the camp ground,
proceeded there, and found exercises going on in
tent occupied by the Poughkeepsle Young Mems
Tent Association. One OF the sisters evident

they not at all sparng OF showing its et-
feet upon them. kneelng on some some straw,
with her face buried in her hands, and her elbows
resting on her hips, she gave 1t to the brethren and
sisters IN this style =
Oh Lord Coda, purchaseda by the red blood
ofour Savioura We would humbly prosrae ourselvesa
in dust and ashes before Thee.a we thank thee, Oh
Lorda that when we have been far from thee-a, thou
hast brought us neai-a. (iallelulah Glory Glory
Here she appeared very much affected and cried and sob
bed audbly Oh Lorda, breathe upon the spirit of
prayera (Glory to God for all his merces. HalleluahD

good Lord) and beseech theea to unite us in
beams Of inv @ reSeemna ioyea and let Us walk in ty
light-a (Glory Glory. Hallleulah Glory Oh Glory9
Here the sister appeared to be overcome, and she
sat down on the straw, and the remainder OF them
! got up and sung this hymn.
| Behold behold the Lamb Of God,
On the cross, on the cross;
For rus he shed his precious blood,
On the cross on the cross;
oh, hear his allmporant cry,
"Eli lama Sabacthani."
Draw near and see your Savior die,
On the cross, on the cross.
Behold his arms extended wide,
On the cross on the cross,
| Behold his bleeding hands and side,
| On the cross on the
The sun withholds its rays of light,
| The heavens closed in shades of night,
| While Jesus doth with devils fight
| On the cross, on the cross.
| Come, sinner, see him lifted up,
| On the cross ON the cross,
| He drinks for you the bitter cup
On the cross, on the cross.
| &C., Sc, &c.
While the brethren and sisters were singing, they
| were so much excited, that they appeared to have
| lost all command over themselves they would
| stamp their feet, clap their hands, and make the
most grotesque gesticuaions pointing to the SKIES
&c. &c.
The hymn was hardly finished, when up jumped
a brother, and with his eyes shut and his fists
clenched, he let us have prayer as iollows:-
Almighty and Ever Living God, we again approach
our brothers and sisters here assembled Great God
| look in mercy down upon us. (iallelulah Glory
Glory God, Glory God Of Mercy, Sc2 Oh, Lord God,
convicted do thou through thy mercy convict them,
and them from eternal dannation (Oh, Lord God

them for that eternal life which in store for them.
(Gory to God, with clappng Of hands) Let them OF

This brother continued some time longer in this
manner, and when he concluded, of the sisters,
with her knees on the straw, in state of excite
ment amounting to phrenzy, and shaking in every
| part with her arms extended, and sobbng aloud,
commenced praying in the following strain
oh, Lord help ministers to preach thy gospel in
its purity and prepare for the duties before and
y God be win us and prepare us to work on thy work

1t was now coming towards SIX o'clock, and the
fumes OF some salted Goldfish, which being cook

the encaDpment and surveying the beauties of the
surrounding scenery, stepped into the first mention
ed tent, and instead OF finding the young men and
women fatlgued and exhausted as one would suppose
they would naturally be- there were about 30 of them
engaged IN prayer and singing with wonderful en-
