meeting.
THE FIRST SERMON.
At 10x q. m. the bell was rung for preach

THE Y. n. c. A. MISSED.
There are many inquiries as to whether
the Y. M. @. A. are to be ON the grounds, and
there appears to be q feeling Of disappoint-
ment that they are not pre- sent. Some of
them, / understand, are to be present as
ttSitors for day next week, but they will not
tent on the ground as heretofore, and one and
all regret the absence Of Bro,. G. A. Hail,
Stuart, OlcOtt and Bickford, who, with
others, have rendered valuable service 10
past years, and II earnest wishes for their
presen ce would draw them, 1t would not be
long till they would be here en- naasse. The
Young Peoples meeting, inaugurated by the
Rev. q. A. Hall, and meetings for Bible
Readings are greatly missed by the young
and many of the older folk. 1t would be well
If the Presiding Elder, when he arrives
would see to the establishment OF such meet
ines, as great good has been accomplished by
these meetings. M,
