The National Camp Meeting.
Eighth Day.

The day opened rather unpropitious for the
meetings of yesterday. A very thick fog and
some rain took the ardor out Of the partici-
pants somewhat Owing to the wet weather,
the days meetings were held in the tabernacle,
much smaller amount of people being pres
ent than on any preceding day.
Among the prominent arrivals in the morning
was Rev. G. f. Cox of Salem, Mass, known as
the pioneer Of New England camp meetings.
The usual morning meetings were held. We
understand that Wednesdays cole ction
amounted to $3.50.
The regular service Of the forenoon was
opened by Mr.. Inskip with the singing of the
hymn, Nearer my God to Thee" Camp
Meeting John followed with stirring prayer.
Then they sung, "There is a fountain filled
with blood" Bro. Inskip then came to the
front and announced that the meetings would
be held over next Sabbath, and thought the
people would find that they had kept the good
wine until the last, and presented the requests
for prayers as folows:-A lady for her pastor
that he might receive full sanctifcation; q
mother for her only son; for the ministers of
the Maine Conference. He then introduced
the preacher of the morning, Rev. Mr.. Gray of
the Philadelphia Conference. He took for his
text two passages of Scripture, Genesis v, %,
and Hebrews XII, 8. The sermon was on the
usual subject. Full Sanctifcation, and was one
of the best yet delivered before the Associa :.
ton. We give brief abstract: Enoch mr,st
have had full sanctifcation, since he walked
with God. He must have been on the most
intimate relation with God, and must have
been of the same nature and spirit as the Holy
One himself. 1t is the privilege of any one
who has received full sanctification to walk
with God as did Enoch, and to be in state of
perfect happiness and have full communion
with his Heavenly Father. Clergymen having
received full sanctifcation must conduct them
selves in perfectly straightforward manner,
since the world is to be saved through their
efforts.
At the close of the sermon Brother Inskip
wanted everybody who wished for full sancti-
fication to come to the altar and receive it, but
only small number responded.
At one o'clock the usual children's meeting
was held in the tabernacle. At two O. clock the
tabernacle was quite we'll filled to listen to
Rev. @. B. Pitblado, formerly of Portland, now
of Manchester, N. III. He then took for his
text 1st Corinthians, ii, 0. Those who ave
ever heard Mr. Pitblado know how imposs BILE
it is to put one of his discourses in print, ut
suffice it to say it was one of his usual quail II
and powerful efforts, and was exceedingly we'll
appreciated by those hearing it,
In the evening regular Methodist prayer
meeting was held in the tabernacle, Mr.. In
skip presiding. Remarks and prayers were
made by the various clergymen and others
present, and lively hymns were sung. Believers,
both male and female, were sent round during
the meeting to invite the unconverted to como
up front and seek salvation, but to all appear
ances their efforts were entirely unsuccessful.

A GREAT GAME.-Probably the greatest Tin
score) game of the season ways played yester-
day between the Butchers and the Oysters.
Unfortunately there was not as large crowd
present as the game deserved. We heartily
pity those who did not attend and congratulate
those who did. The game resulted in decd-
ed victory for the Butchers, the game standing
at the close so to 8 in favor of the BIS. 1t was
evident from the beginning that the Butchers
intended to put the knife to the Oysters, and
the result shows that they carried their inten-
ton into OBJECT The slow pitching of the
Oysters gave ample opportunity to the athletic
Butchers, of which they availed themselves,
and the way they batted the balls was a eau
ton. The pitching of the Butchers, however,
being rather swift could not so easily be hit

HE GIvETH HIS BELOVED sLEEI

A little child rests ON bed of pain,
With an aching head and throbbing brain; j
A feverish flush on the soft cheek lies,
And a wistful look In the sweet blue eyes,
As the sick child means: "How the slow hours
creep.
Viz not the Lord send to His little one sleeps'i
And the mother smOothed from the child's brow
fair
The clustering locks Of her golden hair,
And murmured: my darling we cannot tell:
But We know that the Esther doth all things
we'll;
And we know that never n creature In pain
Addressed a prayer to His mercy In vain. = i
Time has no line that His hand may not smooth i
Life has no grief that His love cannot soothe:
And the fevered brow shall have rest At last.
In the healing shade from the death-cross cast.
Look up. my precious one; why shOuldst thou
weep?
The Lord giveth aye to His loved ones sleep"
And the little one gAsed with glad surprise
In the loving depths OF those patient eyes
Then lifted her lips for one long embrace,
And turned with n smile on her weary face.
And the mother smiied as the early morn
Marked the deep peace on the childish form.
And cried aloud In her thankfulness deep:
The dear Lord be praised who hath given her
sleepr'
Ay, n,other-she sleeps, In that charmed repose
That Shsll waken no more to cArth's pains and
woes.
For the Savior hath gathered His lamb 10 His
breaAt,
Where never Ines storms shall her peace mo-
lest.
