APEEP INTO SOME or THE TENTS.
Between the hours Of public worship the
time b made 20 pass pleasantly away BY AZ
Interchange Of social visits Of friends from the
several churches. This is by no means strange
| for The open tenements, with smiling oecu-
pants almost render 1t rude to pass them IN
noticed. For instance, passing along Foundry
SNN--~C
spend an ids moment IN the beautiful tent OF
Edward +. Simpson, so tidy, tasteful and in
yitiAg IN al Its arrangements. If the head OF
the family chances 70 be out, which Is gen
orally the case, bis absence Is scarcely missed
through the extreme warmth Of the welcome
extended by his graceful wife and her refined
daughter and nAmesake, Miss Addle, whose
social chit-chat mako one feel 90 much at bone
that the moments slip by UNDECIDED. A group
0f saAfl 5-nT1 air 10 IN
lend an additional charm to the visitor, and
make the days few which shall intervene be
fore the next call.
TENT or TIE PRESIDING ELDER.
There is not perhaps upon the camp ground
q mere interesting aud esteemed family. than
that Of the presiding elder, Rev. w. F. SpeAke,
consisting of his wife, q lady Of apparently
middle age, not Of robust health, but delicate
in form and feature, who came to the camp q
comparative stranger to the large body Of the
Methodists, and yet by her winning sociability
and ease Of manners she has already endeared
herself to all with whom she been thrown In
association; two grown daughters, Misses Ida
and Annie, who add the charm Of cultured
minds and manners TO the presence Of their
parents, making their canvas home, which
looks out upon the inner court, a spot where
many during the day delight TO while away the
leisure moments. Two bright intelligent lads
anu Tic ilLL3e pGIs I'LL the compile
ment Of this happy household. Owing to the
recent appointment Of Mr.. Speake to the Wash
ington district this constitutes the first oppor-
tunity of the people to become acquainted with
his family.
We shall steal sly look into other Of the
tents as opportunity may be offered and time
permit.
NIGHT SERVICE.
After supper, at 9 p. m, meeting for the
promotion Of holiness was held at the meeting
tent on Second avenue, under charge Of Rev.
VIM. Burris, Of the Foundry station. This is
what is commonly known as the sancti6catiOn
meeting, and is conducted by those in the en-
joyment Of this second blessing and attended
by others in search Of the gift Of clean heart.
The meeting was well attended and was but
the first Of series Of similar gatherings which
have been placed by the presiding elder In
charge of Mr.. Burris and Rev. Mr.. Black, pas-
tor Of Wesley chapel, who Is not as yet here.
At 8 O'Clock the bell was again rung for pub
lie preaching, and Rev. J. G, Taylor addressed
a large audience, from Galatians, Has
fChr.st has redeemed US from the curse of
the law being made a curse for rs, for it Is
written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on
a tree" This was q stirring sermon on the
subject of redemption. Under It and the ex-
hortations which followed there was an evil
dent rise In the tide of spiritual enthusiasm,
tracted prayer-meeting with which the meet
ing closed.
Rain is badly needed, as the dust is getting
wretchedly bed on the outer skirts Of the
camp. A. Y. L.
