ard an equal number Of pleasant days
meeting for the young.
The attendance Of ministers during the
first few days was very sparing, but as
the interest gathered the preaching force
daily augmented. w
The Presiding Elder, (Mr. Miller)
spared nothing that could be done for
the accomplishment Of the desired end Of
ginning and doing good.
The slight fall Of rain during the first
few days made a scarcity Of dust, much to
the satisfaction Of those who passed
through the Seige Of last year.
All seemed glad to leave their rustic
houses, being tired Of excitement and
crowd, but looking forward to the next
annual meeting with high hopes and pleas
ant anticipatiOns.
The presence Of Mrs. DR.. Boyle, ofSt.
Louis, did much toward inspiring both
young and old, with desire Of living Il
higher christian life. She having lately
arrived irom:the Holiness camp meeting
held at Urbana, Ohio. =,

one Of his most effective sermons, chang
Ing the heretofore indifference Of some Of
the congregation to close attention max

Tuesday was the day selected for the
childrens meeting, and DR.. DeETass gave
them a most instructive hours talk
about the Holy Land.
There was a prevailing impression that
the meeting would continue until Thurs.
day. This was the intention Of the mana
gers Monday, but their meeting on Tues.
day reversed the first decision.
We cannot refrain from referring to
the great amount Of stealing done. And
by the time Of the meeting Of the coming
