attach to pastors life.
But he persevered realizing that IL his object
was not attained his influence would be serious
~ impaired, if not altogether lost, and was at

discourse was just what his hearers might have
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., logical and simple.
WORTHY OF MENTION.
As is already known, the Camp is situated on
Col. Arthur Crozier farm, in n beautiful grove,
which in view of its easy access to the city from
its location, he had been reserving for its pros
pective as we'll as present value for lumber and
fuel; but which he allowed to be used for its
present object rather than those having the mat
ter in charge should be forced TO select another
and announcement location. Col. Crozer, pre-
vious TO the meeting, sent men and implements
to assist in putting the grounds in proper order,
without charge and has complied with every
request of the local committee, in fact often an
tcipatng their wishes.
COL. c. NJ VI GHEE,
President of the Knoxville and Ohio Railroad,
on whose line of road the camp ground is stu

promoting the success of the meeting When
the subject was first preached TO him he SUBJ
scrbed literally and since its commencement
has yielded to the wishes of the National As
ISOLATION and the committee and run the trains

public, and that the location of the grounds by
the railroad, accessible to trains, every hour If
necessary, has been convenience and an aid

very low fare placed a ticket within the reach
of many who would otherwise not have been
enabled TO visit the grounds.
SEVENTH DAY.
The sun rose clear, beaming in all his natural
loveliness upon the scene at the Camp Ground
Yesterday morning. The clouds that had been
hanging over the Camp and sent down copious
showers the day before were all dispelled by the
friendly rays of the bright morning sun.
This natural brightness and beauty in nature
seemed to lend its influence to the worship
ers in the grove. a gentleman remarked early
in the morning as he loo ed out upon the
brightness of the morning, that the Lord SEEM
ed to be controlling the very elements of nature
for the advancement of the grand work going
on upon the camp ground. The dust which
seemed at first TO threaten the comfort OF the
congregations and the rain which settled it
having both passed away leaving pleasant at
mosphere all around.
With great earnestness and zeal many 'gath-
cred in the Tabernacle az the hour for
MORNING WORSHIP,
which was Of unusual interest. This service
was conducted by Rev. Mr.. Gray. Many very
those who were seeking for higher attain
1nents in the Christian life. Quite a number
declared their determination to trust in God for
strength to be kept from indulgences that had
heretofore enslaved them. Many of these ex-
periences were thrilling and earnest.

1t seems that the Christian churches are really
getting hold of the true idea that is to bring the
world to Christ by pointing the children to the
Lamb Of God. One of the brethren wisely re.
marked that children are susceptible of good
impressions and capable of becoming Christians
as soon as they can comprehend and 60 into

earnestness on the part of the seekers alway
awakens a corresponding earnestness on tn
mart of the members of the church, who are q
WAYS ready to help,those who show a dispositio

renewed exertions the older ones in the eau

children all to Christ and the future Of u
