Camp Meetings.
National Meeting at Old Orchard.

NINTH DAY.
Increased attendance. The morning opened
foggy, but about eight o'clock the fog lifted and
the sun sent down its rays on the camp ground
making it one of the pleasantest days of the
meeting. The morning trains Brought large
numbers of people, and the attendance of to.
day was the best except Sunday of any yet.
The usual $50 meeting was held in the taber-
meeting was held in the tabernacle led by
Brother Inskip, who Seems born to lead" 1t
was we'll patronized and productive of good re-
suits. 1t was thought best as the dampness has
not fully dried up in the grove, to hold the re.
gular morning service in the tabernacle. The
air in the tent was very close and oppressive.
Tho meeting was opened by Brother Irskip
with the singing of the hymn, 'Tm coming
Lord to to Thee" He then made the following
requests for prayer. the largest number yet
landed in: prayers for class leader; for a
father; for two brothers; for wife; for father,
mother, brother and sister; for an only son; for
two sons; for friend; for two sisters; for a
father; for an only son; by pastor for his
children.
Brother Inskip said that on next Sabbath ser.
vices would be held at 5 80 p. M, reunion love
feast at 8, preaching at 1890, 2.3O and 7.39, and
introduced as preacher of the morning, Rev.
Mr.. Short of the New England Conference
The preacher announced as his text a portion
of the Lords Prayer, 'Thy Kingdom come, thy
will be DONE" He said he should base his re.
marks on the idea that spiritual kingdom was
set up in the human heart. He said that he
had preached the same sermon to his own
people few weeks since, and did not wish to
have it pass as regular camp meeting sermon
he said that his own people agreed perfectly
with him in his idea, and he hoped his hearers
to-day would do the same.
1t was so very warm and oppressive in the
tabernacle, that the usual good attention could
not be paid to the sermon, but it was carefully
prepared and we'll delivered discourse. The
usual invitation for all to come up front was
omitted this noon. At one o'clock children's
meeting, led by Mrs. Fellows occurred. Mrs.
Inskip, who has been quite unwell since the
meetings opened made her first appearance
and spoke at length. She will doubtless assume
her old position as leader of these meetings to-
morrow. The two O'Clock service was held in
the grove the seats being but partly filled.
Elder 1nskip opened the service as usual by
striking up "There is fountain filled with
blood" After prayer and the hymn s.My dying
Saviour and my God" Mr. Inskip rose and
said, he did not know how it had been reported
that Rev. DR.. Douglas of Montreal, who arrived
yesterday would preach this afternoon. He said
that every endeavor had been made to induce
him to preach before the association, but the
condition of his health would not permit; also
another brother with whom he had made ar
rangements, had also disappointed him. but the
Rev. VIM. Mcdonald has kindly consented to
fill the breach.
The speaker was in feeble voice, and his
words failed to reach those sitting in the back
part of the auditorium. He said he didn't
know as he had any text, but thought he would
speak from the words, eff any man shall do
His will, he shall know of the doctrine The
sermon was of the full sanctifcation stamp.
By course of reasoning he showed how easy
it was for anybody to receive full sancti6cation.
He said that he believed in no doctrine not
found in the Bible, and as the doctrine of full
sanctifcation is found in the Bible, he believed
| in it, as ought everybody who believes In Gods
Word.
The people were much disappointed In moi
| hearing DR.. Douglass, as many Of those present
came with that express purpose, but man pro-
| poses, &c. The afternoon trains from Port
| land brought large numbers out to attend the
services, but if they: came to see something
exciting, they must have been disappointed
