THE CAMP FILLING uP-aREAr RUSH FOR TENTS
AND AMUSING INCGDENrs - THE OPENING hER-
vIdEs-sERMON by BISHOP sGorr-raE PENN
sULA WELL kEPREsENTED
Especial Correspondence OF the Commsrcla
SuHF HOUSE, REnuBoTu BEAcu, July 10.
These who attend camp-meeting from year
to year, in various parts OF the Peninsula, when
they come here and SEQ the large expenditure OF
money, and the broad scale on which this camp
meeting enterprise is laid out arc constantly ex-
pressing their wonder at it. There were great
many arrivals on yesterday, and 1t was an anus
ing sight TO witness the bustling and anxiety
manifested in regard to tents, beds and board.
The force of workmen detailed to build
hunks had number on hand, but
It WAS soon evident that the dema nd was
greater than the supply, when general rush
WAS made for them. In one instance two grave
D DIS were seen literally fulfilling the scripture
Injunction "take up thy bed and walk" az they
marched with their bunk to their tent. Others
acted on the 'Squatter sovereignty principle
sitting on them till help came to hand.
1t was soon found that there was place for
every one and QUOT was restored, when the
news began to circulate that the inaugural
sermon would be preached at Z. M,
by Bishop Scott. AT a few minutes past the bell
rang out its clear notes on the evening air call
ing the worshippers together. The opening,ser-
vices were conducted by Dr. II. III. Pattison, IL.
w Todd, and DIR. L. @. Mauaok. The Bishop
took for his text the words-"The Just shall
live by faith" He said that he was not inseD-
bio to both the responsibility AMI the honor OF
the position he was then occupying, and elo-
qnentls portrayed the prospective future OF the
''Rehoboth Beach Camp Meeting" After stat
ing that some of the most influential OF the
modern pulpits were preaching at least doubt
full gospel and that in some INSTANCES, he fear
ed it was having baneful influence upon our
own pulpits, he said he had chosen this theme
because he wanted this grand old doctrine, ''the
Just shall live by faith, to be the beginning and
The ending OF the gospel as preached here.
Many ''Amens" in true Methodistic style, ,expres-
sed the hearty appreciation and appreciation Of
the Bishops words.
The services were concluded by Rev'ds Quigg
and Lightbouine There were Is ministers in
the stand on this first evening and others in the
congregation. .-
1t was rumored that Bishop Simpson would be
present and preach during the meeting. DR., II.
b. Ridgway, OF New York City will be here,
towards the close of the meeting. Nearly all the
Peninsula towns are represented on the ground,
and numbers from Warrington, Baltimore, Phil
adolphia and Wilmington. Lesley.

Buy Your Winter Conf Now.

The New York Times says This year, we be.
lieve, 1t is safe to say that the course of the
market will be constantly, though we trust
steadily upward. The production of coal is now
substantially under the control of combination
OF the miners and mining companies, who have
determined on the policy of sure and probably
gradual advance. The lowest limit is set at ten
cents per ton, at wholesale, each month. The
reliability is that coal laid in now will be bought
at from twelve and half to thirty per cent.
cheaper than that purchased on the opening of
the cold weather.
1t is hardly worth while now to discuss the
causes which have placedsthe power to regulate
the price of an article of such vast consumption
in the hands of few hundred. 1t is enough
20 say that such consumation has, through
many changes and after innumerable contests,
been reached, and this we imagine, no one IA
miar with the facts vail deny.
1t is to be hoped that the great power of com.
bnation will be used with moderation, and with
a rational reward for the widest interests OF the
coal producers. We do not suppose that the
mining companies will pretend that they are ao-
tuated chiefly by consideration for consumers,
though they naturally assert that the consumer
will prosper by their course.
