As on Wednesday, so on Thursday the work
of moving and ''setting up went on INCREASINGLY
from dawn until dark. procluiing the possibili-
ty of preaching or any religious service ex-
cept the early morning family prayer service
held in the tabernacle, where all are
invited to meet al one family, at half
past ax O'Clock. The evening shades
bought comparative quiet and the people were
assembled i'll tho tabernacle, and listened to nd
dresses made by Rev. j. u. Quigg DR.. .Matlack,
and Rev. p. III. Rawlina, about how to make the
camp meeting religious sucesss. During
Thursday night there was Il thunder cloud, but
the rain which flooded field and forest all around,
and deluged Wilmingtonso we hear, came to us
in a gentle shower freshening and Frightening
everything,s saying the dust, and making the air
all the more pure and pleasant.
The first sermon was preached on Friday
morning, by Rev. 2. II. Rawlna, from the text.
"Among whom ye shine rs lights in the world. y
The sermon was appropriate and well presented.
AT the usual hour for preaching oil Friday after
noon, it had to be again deferred, because of the
moving in OF parties, who were to occupy tents
on the front circle. In the evening Rev. 7. b..
Hunter preached IL thoughtful and pleasant SER
mon from the words, % Let not your heart be
troubled" DR.. Newman, who was expected to
be present aud preach on Friday, failed to get
here, and sent u letter instead, reporting mis-
carriage of plans, and an assurance that he
would be here on Wednesday, July 81, and his
availability for sermons on ,Ihursday, no he has
been announced to preach Thursday morning
and probably in the afternoon, also This morn
ing, Bishop Scott preached from Hebrews " :
16: - Let us therefore come boldly to a thro ne
of grace" Nc. The Bishop spoke with much
earnestness, and the sermon was very fine,
AZ an exposition of the subject and will
doubtless be of great practical value to his hear
ers. This afternoon, couple of ladies from
New York conducted meeting in the taberna-
nacle. This was attended by ladies', principally,
although all were invited.
A great many people came down to-day, but
the beach and ocean are the chief attraction this
sultry weather This evening there is delight
full ocean breeze but tomorrow promises to be
hot and dusty. As tho camp-ground seemed
likely to be deserted, tho committee determined
to hold prayer aud experience meeting in the
large pavilion Just erected at the foot of Reho-
both Avenue. This was an exceedingly pleasant
meeting. The songs OF praise sounded very
beautifully, mingled as they were, with the
Oceans monotone. At eight O'Clock the congre-
CATION again gathered III the grove and heard a
sermon, preached by Rev. G. W. Conoway. The
sermons tomorrow are to be preached by Rev
Jacob Todd OF the Philadelphia Conference, and
Rev. DIR. j. 8. Porter of the Newark N j. Con-
ference, and Rev. g. NJ. Pegg, of the Whining
ton Conference. L.
