WORSHIP IN THE WOODS.
The Jackson Grove Camp Meeting.

JACkSON dROVE, j uiy ", 1876.
Yesterday was fine day for out door
meetings here, but as there was considerable
"fxing up" to do there was only one public
service held during the day, viz: at IL o'clock
q. M, and that was by Rev. Mr.. Marriott. In
the course of his remarks he stated the OBJ
ject OF the meeting to be the advancement
OF Christs kingdom by the conversion of
souls, and he urged upon all to pray that
they may be tmbued with the proper spirit.
LAST EVENING,
Rev. j. III. Lemon, who, 1t will be remem-
beIed, was popular preacher at Gorsuch
preached from the words: "Ask and ye
shall receive" Matthew, chap. VII. verse I,
and he spoke OF the necessity of pray
and the duty of Christians 70 consecrate
themselves fully to Gods word, making a
brief but capital sermon for the occasion.
Rev. III. France, OF Bladens burg, followed In
an exhortation, after which some time was
spent In singing and prayer.
This meeting was held in the large meet
ing tent erected on the west side OF the plaza
yesterday, in consequence OF a shower of
and making walking rather disagreeable.
This morning there was a little fog, but 1t
soon lifted, and there was every appearance
OF fine day.
