The genius of advertising was plainly visible In
several OF the services. In exhortations to holness
Rev. Mr.. Inskip would take occasion to applaud
certain books, papers and magazines and commend
them to the pockets and sympathies or the people:
were some for New York penny paper, that it
might be made an evangestic organ and also for
business men in straits &c. TINS, OF course, was as

different parts OF the country.

holiness the preacher became little too dinuse
and tedious. The Rev. J. w. Horne also preached
very acceptaby. But the best sermon delivered in
the encampment from Its opening to its close was
one by Mrs. smith. Presbyterian lady from Phila-
delphia, on Wednesday morning. Her text was
certainly extensive enough to draft good dis
course from. She took the five books OF Moses and

There were from fifty to seventy-nve ministers
only q chosen few were allowed to speak, and one
OF them, q Mr. FOote, from the western part OF this
State had two chances to the others one to
his theory. 1t was amusing, critically, to notice
how the sanctfed doctors differed in their expo
sitiOns OF this doctrine. While one wOuld contend
at one time that the weeds OF sin which continue
to grow in the human heart after justification by
faith is experienced should be plucked up and cast
out another at another service would declare that
plucklng up weeds and cutting OF branches did not
amount to anything. And, under the plea OF being
"led by the spirit" these contradictions were man.
ifest In every service.

Lord had cured him suddenly and forever OF his

To-day the National Association start for Urbana,
Ohio. They have yet four more meetings to hold
before the season closes They have already held
ten and their last meeting will come or September
21 In Knoxville Tenn. The Sea Cliff Association have
given them the free use OF all the tents and fixtures
they may want for that meeting-about seventy
1ve OF them. About the middle of October Messrs.
Inskip and Mcdonald and their brethren will be
settled down for their winters work, and may then
recuperate themselves for the campaign OF 1879
