The ministry ought TO be one, and-we are
one. We ought TO get on high grounds
and take our hocks with us. One min
lister who will hang upon the out
skirts Of the congregation and criticise
those conducting the services will do
great damage. He Is an Achen in the

better for him to go otto the springs and
stay until the meeting closes. But there

closed with asking all official brethren,
all parents who wish TO see their children
converted, and all who wish to see the

very impressive. The exercises for to-

CAMP MEETING.
Opening OF the Services Last
Night at Moundsville.

MouNDsvrbLE, August %, 10 p.N.
(specal Report for the IptOllIseneor;l - d.
As anticipated, to-day has been lively
time in camp meeting circles. All day
long the streets were lined with wagons
laden with families and furniture, and
clouds Of dust filed the air until sun set.
Many thought that the attendance this
year would be smaller ihan-usual, as. there
are so many camp meetings in progress
at the same time, but il to-day is any in
dication there will be larger attendance
than ever before. There are now twenty
seven more tents and houses on the
ground than ever before, and there are
more families already occupying them
than were ever present on the first day Of
the meeting. So everything points TO q
very full attendance.
The old camp ground tonight presents
most beautiful agpearauce. Every.
thing Is in the most perfect order and all
present act as though they came to en-
10y the meeting. ~! l|

After reading various announcements,
suggestions and reading Of the rules Of
the meeting, the Elder, among other good
things, urged upon the reporters TO be
brief in all their reports, aud especially
not to praise tho preachers. II the Lord
permits them TO preach well, give
God the glory, but attribute 1t
to no man. He urged on min.
listers, local preachers, class leaders,
stewards, exhorters, Sunday School Su.
perintendents, Christian parents and all

souls. Get more earnestness, get more
grace, and great longing TO see soulA

ers reclaimed and believers wholly sane.

on the war path against the United States,

had finished with the Americans they
would cross over and capture the Black
