Remarkable Spectacle.

What a scene was thatF Under the
branches of these somber pines through
which the winds of centuries had chant
ed their solemn anthems; those pines
which had never before witnessed any
other worship save that of nature to her
great Creator; nearly o thousand living
men were now assembled, to worship in
the name of Christ. At three angles Of
an immense triangle was erected three
platforms, resembling rude altars, each
about six feet in height. Upon these
had been placed heaps Of pine knots,
which, being set ablaze, illuminated the
entire audience and the woods for many
rods around, with q bright and steady
light Near one of these was q smaller
platform, similarly constructed, behind
which stood the minister, who was that
evening to reprove for wiekedness, and
| point the erring to the Lamb of God
that taketh away the sins Of the world .
/ Such Of the soldiers as had amidst all
| temptations endeavored to lead 8 moral
and religious life, together with those

over the crowd; and the beautiful bright
stars, peeping through the branches Of
/ the trees, shone on the mild, calm radi.
ance. No doubt, to the vision of faith,
each member Of that starry host was an
eye of God, looking down pityingly and
approvingiy upon the scene.
