Mr.. EDITOR. Tile religious services at

usual interesting character. Prayer meet
ing at 6 \. NJ, experience meeting at A.
NJ, preaching at 10t A, NJ, children's meet
ing at Il p. NJ, preaching at p. NJ, prayer
meeting at F. NJ, preaching again at p.
NJ. Excellent sermons were delivered dur
ing the day and at night by Revs. Willis
and Deal, of Baltimore, and Pegg, of
Lewis, Delaware. in the order named. At
the children's meeting addresses were de-
livered by Revs. Prettyman, Crouch and
White.
There has been some powerful sermons
delivered during the progress of this meet
ing. Among the number | would name
the one preached by the Rev. Mr.. Mallory,
presbyterian of Chesapeake City, OH Fri
day morning last, and the one preached by
the Rev. Mr.. Willis, on Sabbath morning.
Alarge congregation was in attendance to
hear Mr.. Willis. From early dawn until
the services commenced, there was con-
slant stream of vehicles of every conceiv-
able pattern pouring in on the ground from
the surrounding country, and yet, among
this large crowd, the most perfect order
prevailed during the entire day.
There was none of the rowdyism that
usually happens at camp meeting held on
the Sabbath day.
The services this forenoon were held in
the tabernacle. Bishop Scott preached a
very impressive discourse on the Pentecost
as recorded in the first four verses of the
Acts of the Apostles. He was listened to
by one of the largest congregations that
have attend the week day services during
the camp.
There is about the usual number of visi-
tors ON the ground and at the Surf House
Some have returned to their homes, but
others have taken their places.
The following named persons are here
from your town. Mr.. F. A. Ellis and
family, Mr.. and Mrs. T. C. Crouch, Mr..
VIM. J. Jones and children, DR.. r. Tull,
Mr.. b. Brock, Miss Jane Torbert, Miss
Carrie Cruikshank, Mrs. Eder and children,
Mrs. DR.. G. NJ. Ellis, Harry Hurn and Mr.
VIM. Boulder. There are also several per-
sons on the ground from Chesapeake City
and Newark, Delaware.
After the morning services are concluded
those who desire to do So go down to the
beach to take a bath. There is generally
large crowd assembled in front of the Surf
House between the hours of II and 10,
either on the beach or in the ocean. 1t is
grand sight to witness them plunging
through the breakers or floating on the
pillows, as they roll towards the beach.
1t is conceded by those who have visited
other sea side resorts, that this is one of
the finest for bathing along the Atlantic
coast, being far superior to either Long
Branch, Ocean Grove, or Cape May There
being no under current makes it perfectly
safe for all to enjoy its advantages. Some
times, when one is not watching the break
ers, they will send you towards the shore
sooner than you expected; still we are per-
fectly safe even if we do 90 under for the
moment. This was the case with our
friend c., of your town, who had boasted
considerably of his exploits in bathing, but
who became very much demoralzed by one
of the large breakers knocking his props
from under him. w. II. Z.
