The sermon Of Rev. T. @. Kirby last night was
based upon the Scripture IS recorded In Luke
xxfv;le-"And behold I send the promise Of my
Father upon you" It was followed BY Rev. J.
R. Wheeler in an exhortation, and there was Q
deep spirituality manifest IN the audience, and
sll hands retired with the day much enjoyed, and

Friday morning dawned upon the camp with
all the warmth and glow Of midsummer. There
is, however, brisk and most refreshing breeze
. most gratifying day to be out of doors. Nature
seems to be doing her full part toward making the
grove meeting success, and all the details and
arrangements Of the association having been CON-

upon which TO operate to make this an occasion of
spiritual awakening long to be held In memory in

The speaker remarked that man is an am bilious

opinions Of right and wrong; Man seeks con:

system Of truth in which the attributes Of the
godhead are strikingly displayed. Man and
