KENNEBEC VALLEY CAMpMEETING
EIGHTH DAY-THURsDAY.

The closing services Of a canpmeetlng are al
ways solemn. The closing day is always lone
some one. For the first few days the people
coming in, and new tents going up all over the
ground, gives an interest and novelty 10 camp
life, which rapidly changes to a sort Of homesick
feeling when the tents are being struck and the
people departing by every train. 1t is not to be
supposed that goes to campmeeting for the
sole purpose of seeing what they can, yet all are
glad to see each other, and it is all right, and in
the direct line Of the happy experiences of camp
meetings.
The violent rain of last nj ght kept many in their
homes yet few hundred gathered at the Tabcr-
nacle at the social service held there. The rain
came in such torrents and so suddenly that the
huge canvass, which was thoroughly dry, let con-
siderable moisture in through the 'chinks' upon
the seats, but not to the great inconvenience Of
the congregation.
The people in the Augusta chapel, being in dry
quarters, continued their o'clock meeting until
late into the night, which is but the experience of
former years, the intensity Of feeling torbidding
the close.
This morning at s O'Clock, in the Ilallow ell
chapel, Mr. lie Lacheur held his last meeting Of
the year on the ground and great many pledged
themselves to more earnest work for the Master.
William Williams, or as lie is generally known,
Happy Jack sailor and reformed drunkard,
gave an earnest and hearty testimony. He walked
from Old Orchard Beach TO this place, and to-day
ne starts by the same conveyance, for Poland, TO
attend the Campmeeting there next week The
last meeting at the tabernacle was held at nine
o'clock, and closed in season lorthe western bound
train, and thus ends the Campmcehng Of 1875.

Gardiner, August 10. The eighth and last day
of the Maine State Campmeeting. Last evening 5
service was held in the Tabernacle in which more
than hundred gave clear testimony for Jesus.
At 10 a. M, while we write, the closing service
of the meetings is being held in the Tabernacle,
many declaring what God had done tor.them at
this meeting The church has been greatly
strengthened and comforted, and many sinners
converted to God.
Some have criticized the management Of the
meeting in closing the gates on Sunday and ask
ing an admission fee of 10 cents, yet we doubt
not their honest conviction of light in the matter
Suffice it is to say that the Maine State Camp

held by the St. Mays T. \. b. Society, at their
hall in Bradbury's block, Water street, last even

Barrett, addressed the assemblage in speech Of
fifteen minutes duration, appealing to the mem
bers in earnest and forcible words to be true TO
the pledge which they have taken. His remarks
were well received.
lie was followed by the Vice President, Mr..
Maher, who depicted in eloquent words the hori-
bic deeds perpetrated by persons while under the
influence of intoxicating drinks. At the conclu-
sion of his stirring remarks, one Of the oldest
members of the society, Mr.. Patrick Marlin, came
forward and delivered very interesting address,
weaving into his remarks selections from the poets
and extracts from the Book of Books.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and all
joined in saying that it was the most interesting
and successful meeting yet held since the organi-
cation of the society.
The society is now in good standing, and is
gaining additional members at nearly every meet
ing, and its success is now assured. 1t is fact
| every way creditable to the st. Mays Society
that they hold the only meetings for the advance
ment of the temperance cause now held IN the
city All honor, then, to Irish Catholic fellow
