Editors OF the Register:
There is apparently but little, II any
diminution % the crowd on the grounos
to-day from that yesterday. The 9'So
NJ. experience meeting was we'll a.
tended, ard the most intense in9rts' was
manifested throughout the entire time
allotted for that part o. the day S serv-
ices. Indeed, it was with difficulty that
the Presiding Elder succeeded IN sd-
iournlng the meeting until O'clock TINS
Afternoon, in order Lot TO interfere WITH
the regular 1870 preaching. -,
Without wishing 10 particularlze, still
cannot refrain from speaking OF the
experience o. Mrs W. c. VII on. the
esteemed vile of our worthy Presiding
Elder, IS given this morning. That such
talking does NOR, aud GOES further to
ward s)ftenlng the hearts OF unrepent-
ant sinners than the most elaborately
prepared and eloquently delivered ser
mon, am fully convinced, no matter now
celebrated, o. how famous the divine
NAV be by whom it is delivered.
Rev. f. Ball preached the 1870 SER
mon to not very large audience, unfor'
tunately. During the reverend gentle
mans admin stration Ms Pres ding Elder
for Tn district, ne succeeded In allenat-
ing quite number of the members OF
the church here from that closs and ar
dent affinity to the church that Is SO
mn, h 10 be- desired. / do not wish to
impugn the motives of Mr.. Ball IN the
least, as am satisfied, but unfortunately
he happened to hold and insisted
upon preaching the doctrine OF
sanctif Gallon in sense that was not De-
lieved ia by large portion OF the con-
gregation here, tina! he was perfectly
hont 5. in, and firmly believed in what ne
preached.
