Stale Camp Meeting.
GARDINER, Aug. 19.-Ths is the eighth and
last day of the Maine State Camp.meeting.
Last evening services were held in the taberna-
Gle, in which more than hundred gave clear
testimony for Jesus. While we write the
closing service of the meeting is being held in
the tabernacle, many declaring what God has
dore for them at the meeting. The church
has been greatly strengthened and comforted
and many sinners converted to God. Some
have criticized the management of the meeting
in closing the gates on Sunday and asking an
admittance fee of ten cents, yet we doubt not
their honest convictions of right in M alters.
Suffice to say that the Maine State Campmeet.
ing for the promotion of Christian holiness has
been emphatically success.
