| The camp was well attended last night
and to-day, and the prospects are for a
very large attendance on Thursday, which
will be the last day of camp as far as is
known now.
Mr.. John Rogers who is dumb, but not
deaf, got very happy last night, and ran
up and down the aisles waving his hand
kerchief and clapping his hands, until
some Of the brethren got hold of him.
He is subject to slight arrangement,
which was caused by spell of sickness
some years ago.
| To-day l left the camp ground and ac-
cepted an invitation from some young
ladies, from Philadelphia, who are board
ing at farm house, about one mile from
the camp ground, to go on picnic and
fishing excursion.
| We left the house in three large farm
wagons, all dressed for the occasion and
proceeded about three miles, near Smiths
Bridge, where we encamped near the
Brandywine for the day, and we enjoyed
ourselves in fishing, pitching quoits,
playing ball and rowing. Fish were not
very plentiful and they soon wearied of
that. Mr.. George McCall, of your city,
/

pleasant day. The ladies seem to be en-

return to the city they will be badly
tanned by their looks now. The party

pre- chirg at the stand by the Rev.
Enoch StuDbs, text 5 Chapter Genesis
24th verse. And 1, Epoch, walked with
God. They gave us one Of the best SER
mons we ever heard. | saw Enoch was the
one at last that walked with GOD in the
old world. And Abraham pleased God.
He talked to Moses he referred to many
moIe that walked with God in ol(e i
times, and if we wanted God to walk
with us we mustsNElk with Him but
He would not go with those who went
pleasure seeking in the world. Take God
by the hand aud he would take you by the
hand also. Here he pressed those who
had not yet walked with Him to come
now.
Children's meeting at the stand led
by j. B. Mann. Rev. T. b. Miller
MD, preached this afternoon at 3 o'clock
text Is John, 4 Chapter, parts of the l8,
II and 1S verses God, is love and so the
subject love.
He por,raid it from Adam down to the
present time. And dwelt some time ups
on how he showed his love to us in Da-
ture and how he came into our hearts
through Chris: When asoul was convert
ed the work was done. No root of bitter
ness left, as some think he was an heir
of heaven, yet he believed in the bless
ing of perfect love.
A good service at the stand this even |
ing was pretty well filled up with seek
ers. Several conventions. This morning
opened with little fog, bnt soon cleared
Of and promises to pc grand day. 8
o'clock prayer meeting at the stand was
we'll attended.
Preaching at the stand at by the Rev.
B. String, from the words, Let me die
The death of the righteous; Mum. % c.,
10 V. lie called our attention to the un-
of life. The question might be
lsked what is death no one ever saw II.
But the Scripture tells US it is the de-
truction of the body. Wicked men often
lie like beasts, righteous die in peace.
The speaker exhorted sinners to come
o church; their was but one way he az
,ealed to them to come before it was to
ate the invitation hymn was sung
md some came to the altar.
There is considerable feeling In the
amp at this.time among the unconverted
many are coming TO Christ and others
70 beginning fear the harvest will be
asst and they will not be saved. Our
manager serves US with plenty to eat 6
nd that which ia good l.
