The following special message was re-
ceived last night:
CEDAR HILI, Aug. q, 1SI5.-Dr. A.
T. GOOdloe, Of Antioch Circuit, preached
this morning at S O'Clock. As it was the
early hO1r service, onlya small cOngrega-
ion was present.
At the IL o'clock service, DR.. JnO. B.
McFerTin preached to a tremendous con-
grecation from 1st Corinthians, 18th
chapter and 5Sth verse: Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be We steadfast, IN
movable, always abOInding in the work
Of the Lord, fOrasmuch as We know that
your labor is not in vain in the Lord" He
set forth Christian duty so plainly that ''the
Yayfaring man, though fool, need not err
therein" and with fine effect. After
the sermon, Rev. GOlman Green made
one Of his famous exhortatiOns and scaled
for mourners.7 One little girl was con-
Yerted, and nearly all the Christians present
got shouting happy" It was certainly
a sermon of spiritual refreShment to the
Christian people. The religious interest is
running very high and every thing gives
token of one Of the most interesting camp
meetings ever held at Cedar HILL.
At 3 p. NJ, DR.. Young CONDUCTED a
childrens' meeting at the shelter. The
following order Of exercises was observed:
Song, "COme 70 Jesus" by the children;
also the song, "Yield not to Temptation"
Rev. J. j. Ransom (WhO was quite hOa-se)
opened the services with prayer. The
children then sang "When he COmeth."
DR.. Young then preached them a highly
instructive sermon from Prov. and 18th,
and after prayer by DR.. McFerrin,
invited them to come and seek religion.
About thirty children came forward and
asked the prayers Of the church. 1t was q
most interesting service.
