SEVENTH DAY-MoNDAY.
New HAVEN, Aug. %.
At $50 a. m. the bell called the people
together in front of the stand, for love
feast. The occasion was one of deep in
terest. About sixty testified to the
power of Divine grace to save from
sin.
At 1890 Rev. G. J. Mott, of Pawlet,
preached from Matt. tx, 12 "They that
are whole need not a physician, etc.
Gospel represents the world of mankind
as morally diseased. The Atonement of
Christ is the certain and only remedy for
this moral malady.

hortation by Rev. L. n. Beaudry, of

At2 p. m. Rev Mr. Beaudry preached

Kings, xviii, 80: 1.-THE Lord He is
God"
Revs. Bond and Beaudry followed in
exhortation. An invitation was given
for those who wanted salvation TO come
to the altar and seek the Savior Several
came.
From the commencement of the meet
ing to its close the weather was all that
could be desired. No rain to disturb
any service. The interest in the meet
ing increased from the beginning to the
end. All could say, 1T is good for us
to be here" The order was satisfactory
to all concerned. We never witnessed
anything that excelled it.
The preaching was good, exhibiting
talent, culture, zeal, and devotion to the
cause of Christ. The preachers did
honor to themselves and the churches
they serve. The children's meetings
which have been noticed from time to
time, were very interesting feature of
the camp-meeting, especially to all low
ers of children and the Sunday school.
1t was a pleasant sight to witness the
interest manifested by the children as
they listened to one so well qualified to
instruct them as Mrs. Hulburd. Good
seed sown in such soil will bring forth
good fruit
This report would be incomplete with
out noticing and commencing the excel
lent order maintained in and about the
boarding house. Mr.. Williamson is the
fright man in the right place"
The meeting has been a success. The
church has been quickened. The work
of grace has been deepened and strength
eAed in the hearts of Christians, and
sinners have been converted. Many
have reason to praise God for the Spring
Grove Camp-Meeting of 1878.
To the pastors in the district it was a
pleasant occasion for forming Christian
friendships and Strengthening the bonds
of fraternal fellowship. To the preach
ers having served as pastors in different
places, it is pleasure to grasp the hand
and hear the greetings of old friends, to
whom, in years gone by, they have
preached the Gospel-from whom they
have heard the first new song of a new
heart led to the Saviour by their p rayers
and persuasions-or with whom they
have rejoiced at the bridal alt ar--or,
perhaps, with whom they have ratched
IN sickness, or wept in sorrow as they
have helped lay away loved forr ms. with
fading flowers and falling te ars, yet
with the faith of the Christian and the
nope of heaven. 1t is pleasan to find
he children and youth you ha We conse-
rated to Christ, in Christian baptism,
becoming burden-bearers in tb e church,
