When We sit down to write few lines from
Rehoboth, We feel that cannot express the
feshngs which crowd upon us with reference 10
this place, and We find ourselves crying out at
good to be here" The weather has been as IA
vorabie as any one could desire, having had seye-
raj good rains, which have kept the dust under
control, having constant breeze, being without
mosquitoes, having only one oi two warm days
this season will pass by not recognizing that it 10
summer, and when this place closes we will have
fall upon u.s. Having escaped the hot weather OF
the cities We will return to our homes refreshed
for the fall and winter festivities.
The locality OF this place has been objected to,
but 1t Is just as We would desire il, being at i
distance from any large cIty-where immense eX
cursions. filled with drunken rowdies and sports,
cannot crowd our grounds upon the Holy Sab
bath as they do other watering places and camp
mt etiugs. No one anticipating visit here Tor
week or so will object to riding hundred miles
IRON your Diamond State city, or 4 hundred aud
| sixty miles from the Monumental City, or huu.
| dred and thirty miles from the city OF BrotheIly
Love.
We have one OF the finest gtounds possessed By
any association for u campmeeting, situated three
quarters of mile from the beach, and there Is a
beautiful hard, rolling surface from the grounds
| 10 the coast, ten to twenty-five feet above high
| water mark which terminates i'll blod bluff iruu,
| three to twenty-five feet high, s'most at the wa
| tets edge.
| 1t is a very rems rkabe fact that there has NO,
been seen single intoxicated man OH the grounds
this year, which Is accounted ior, in great part id
that the liquor law OF this state prevents the sale
OF the poison, yet that will not solve the mystery,
ior parties coming from the cities and the large
| towns of this puinsu'l could easily bring liquor
with them. The true reason is that, that class OF
men do not, and it is very likely, will never come
to this place, on account of reasons stated above
And this is not ol We DO not even see the sigu oi
| a rowdy looking man on the grounds. IT they
come they that the tone OF place is SO high
ana pure that they dare not show their real char
| acters Everything Is as quiet and peacabr as
| though every man were q christian and had 1T
stake the reputation Of Rehoboth.
| The religious tone OF the place is high, both at
the Surf House eud on the camp-ground; at the
former place all assemble both evening aud morn-
ins at worship in the parlor, where they have
prayers, singing and speaking, and casionly they
have sermon independent oil the camp, and every
few days they have general experience meeting
on the shore, all OF which attended with mai
ed interest and the presence Of tue spirit. At the
Latter, the religious tone is very high Indeed,
when they have the regular camp meeting services
which are becoming more ana more interesting
aud production OF great good, even as ale
writing we hesr poor souls crying out 10 God ior
mercy and pardon, and now one woman is shout
ing all over the isle, ior she has just found pre-
clous to her soul that Jesus whom she has been
seeking for the last four years, and the woods
echo the doxology which is the announce rneu,
that new soul hss been born unto God.
The bathing yesterday WAS the best that
has been this seBson for the surf was very
high that the waves came rolling with their
white caps kissing the brow of The smooth
sandy beach, aud tossing TO and lro. the
becomingiy dressed ladies' and gentlemen
We must say ten DdSSdnt that some suits
are very becoming, out there are others that
are not. We suppose, however, that it 10
not SO much the suits as the parties them
selves.
The sermon yesterday morning WAS
preached by DIR. PancOse, OF Philsdelp phla
from the text: Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart and VITA all thy
strength, this do and thou shalt ilye.' IL was
a good and instructive sermon. The aiter-
noon discourse was on the subj &c. o: perfect
love. from the text. "Present you perfect in
, Christ Jesus" by Rev. T. W. Simpreve. Ut
Philadelphia. This is the third sermon
r preached on this subject, but We no longer
have Alfred Goodman 10 tell us in plain
, terms what II is and To show MS how to llve
but he has gone to his home "sweeping
. through the gate, washed In the blood OF the
E Lamb
D The evening sormou was delivered by 7.
Is. Hailiah, of Hillsboro Md, from the text:
"rhou fool, this-nlgbt thy soul will be ru
t quired of thee This Was suitable sermon
t Tor the OCCASION snd brought msuy seekers
q to the altar. There was one conversion in
the evening, and 1t was In the old Methodist
style.
An experience meeting was held on the shore
| by the "loud roaring sea-" where the waves leap
Ell and danced in the and then rolled upon The
shore olasping their hands Tor JOY, as 1t we've, Ia
= praise their Creator; while HIS people mingled
their voices the undulatlng air, sending praises
and Thanksgiving to their God. The meeting was
we'll attended and productive of much good.
q Ali look forward with bright antlcipatlons 10
the Sabbath sermons, one OF which will he dellS-
/ cred by Rev. Jacob Todd.
The greatest sensation OF the season came OIL
n last evening, which made the great crowd on til,
: ~, ina lauphIpr and VIII
delight Two OF your young men of Whining
ton yentured TO SIT on high bench down in ts,
!. surf when a large wave came rolling IN, knocked
Q them oil and sent them up TO change their suits
= No longer do the large crowds gather ON th'
2 beach at night to watch the comet, but We some
, times stroll out in the evening To see Ii We car
discern Mark Twain and his crew with our
4 TIL +. SCOPE.
