Seventh Day Advenfisis.

CAMP GROUND, RICHMOND, I
Friday, Aug. 81 1877. !
Last evening the camp ground seemed al
most fairy land. Bright lights waving trees,
white tents and the beauties of nature below,
with the blae heavens and glisteaing stars
above, all combined to form scene of surpass-
log loneliness, The voices of the singers sound
ed clear and sweet as they floated upon the
evening air, and vivid Imagination could
easily fancy white-winged angels were visible
lowering over the enoampment
The social meeting at 5 o'clock was one of
unusual interest. Seventy-two testimonies were
given in sixty minutes. The sweet influences
of Gods holy spirit seemed to pervade the
meeting and to soften every heart. At the
ringing Of the bell a large congregation assem-
bIed before the beautiful stand in the grove.
Elder Osborne, Of Hartland, Me-, addressed the
people from the passage of scripture recorded
in Heb, 1: IL, "God, who at sundry times and
in divers manners spake in times past unto the
fathers by the prophets, hath in these last
days spoken unto US by His Son, whom He
hath appointed heir of all things, by whom
also He made the worlds" He showed from
old Testament scripture that God spake to the
prophets anciently by Visions by dreams and
mouth to mouth. The same spirit speaks
through the apostles that spake through the
prophets, hence they all speak the same thing.
(Heb 2:1.) The speaker made some remarks
in regard to the her-ship of Christ. He re-
ferred to the promise made to Abraham, Gen.
49, and showed that it was not fulfilled dur
ing Abraham's natural life, Acts rs. He then
proved that if we are Christ's, then we are
"Abraham's seed and heirs according to the
promise" Gal. 329. He dwelt on the last
clause of the text. discarding the ideas of mod
ern scientists in regard to how the world was
made, and chung to the statement of apostles
and prophets that all things were made by the
Father and Christ. Gen. 1:26; John 1 4, He
exhorted the people to accept of Christ as their
Saviour, to repent of their sins and to seek
with all their hearts that inheritance that is
"incorruptible, undefiled and faded not away"
The discourse was listened to with marked at
tention by the audience.
After the evening services guards were ap-
pointed and assigned posts and hours of duty.
The encampment is very quiet during the night.
Stragglers and disturbers of the peace are
| promptly attended to. At9 o'clock the bell
was rung as the signal for silence, after which
all was still in the tents, and she that stretch
eth cut the heavens as curtain, and spreadeth
them out as tent to dwell i'm watched over
his people during the silent hours of the night
This morning dawned bright and glorious.
"Old Sol' sends his beautiful light through the
leafy canopy above, holds wild play with the
Hitting shadow" smiles upon the worshippers
in Natures temple below and thrills our being
with the golden pulse of life."
