This may be termed the ION day" in camp. The
excitement OF the Sabbath seems to have united
the people for today's exercises. Bishop Doggett's
sermon yesterday was one OF great power as well

Its delvery-and was OF that emotional sort that
rouses Methodist folk to high state Of enthusi.

away the sin OF the world" 1t was both logical and
theological, and is the topic OF comment to-day
among the people. The Rev. Mr. Thomas,
