programme, from which 1t will be seen at once
that no time is to be lost, but that the intention
of the members is to make the most Of their op-
portunities:--
The religious services, which are expected to
last over ten days and viii be carried on under the
direction of the president OF the association, will
be conducted by well known clergymen Of several
denominations.
The order Of the services Is as follows AT half
past four O'Clock in the morning the soDorous bell
from above the preachers stand, will be rung. and
the slumberers aroused to prepare for a special
meeting for prayer, which will be held every morn

perence meeting will be held, aud there will be
preaching daily at ten A. NJ, two p. NJ. and seven
every afternoon, conducted by Mrs. Inskip, and
clerical meeting, for prayer and consultation at
six P. NJ. daily.
The regular services of the meeting commenced
last evening at seven o'clock. Throughout the
whole of yesterday continuous stream of men,
women and children continued to pour into the
grounds aud to occupy the accommodation which
was provided for them according TO their cir
cumstances The most Of the tents are already
occupied, and tue meeting appears to be an as
sured success. Trains from Chicago have been
arriving laden with passengers evidently prepared
to take up their abode" upon the scene for the
next ten days. Large gangs o. laborers are busly
engaged in removing baggage from the railway
depot and from express wagons Everything Is
hustle, If not confusion. Several improvident en-
thnsasts Qoolish virgins) who had trusted too
