"The weather has been as favorable for meeting
Purposesas possible. On Friday aitsrneona heavy
shower seattered - people TO their tents in q hur-
ny and laid the dust, and made the air delieiously
cool. On Saturday morning the ringing ofthe
their morning deVotions. At the eight o'clock
meeting Rev. Dr. Hunter. ofthe advocate, gave q
happy turn to the meeting BY introducing In one
Of his fslieiteus speeches the Rev. Mr.. McHenny,
lately appointed missionary 70 INDIA he and
call and preparation for this great work The in
terest was heightened by the appearance on the
ground Of Rev. Mr.. Sites, a missionary just re-
turned from China: Rev n J Suits preached at
ten s. m, Rev DR. Loury at two p M, and Rev, MS
Bull at T.30 p. m. But Sunday was a great day.
Early Ia the morning the people began 70 pour
there must have been over hve thousand people,
aud over a thousand vehicles OF various kinds,
en- the ground. There was not as good order
quite as in former years. There were one or two
things which seemed inconRruous to us. A soda
water fountain, and q grocery or luneh-rooIn,
where cigars, pop, peanuts &C. were soid, were
allowed to run in full blast all day Sabbath. As
the meeting has for its speclAltys noliness, 1t
seemed not In keeping with that theme 70 permit
such things on SundaS The preaching was done
by Dr.. Lowry, DR.. q Miller and Rev. Mr.. Kenne-
dy. The manner in which the advocates of en-
tire sanctihcation state their doctrines has not
pleased some Of their more conservative breth-
rem, hence there has been more or less aiashing
of opinions, st some of the meetings. II rsligi-
Gus people would on such occasions keep their
minor points of difference in allegiance, and pre-
sent a united front on the great central truths of
Christianity, they would accomplish more for
their Master"
To-day, Thursday, ia the last day, aid the peo-
pie are making preparations 20 return to their
respective homes some Of which are at q con-
siderable distances. We trust that all have had q
profitable time.
The Yearly Meeting OF The Christian Church
(Diseiples) has also transpirad the past week, and
We learn they have had a good and profitable
time, fifteen subjects having been immersed.
Rev Mr.. Black. of Indianapolis, one Of the finest
pulpit orators ofthe United States. has been la
boring with his usual ability and zeal. Their
meeting in the Rowland woods, east of town, was
very largely attended on Sunday, the brethren
and friends from all over this ana adjoining coun-
ties turning out to add interest to the occasion.
Rev. Mr.. Pallister, the stationed minister here, is
q popular laborer in the Christian cause.
