was well attended.
At 10 80 the regular service began with
prayers, songs and sermon by Rev. f. w.
Smith, from Hebrews xii, last part of verse;
"Run the race that is set before u.s." This

FRIDAY.
Among the social meetings held this morn

series Of sisters meetings. to be held dur
ing the camp meeting.
This afternoon, at the close of the services
at the stand, social meeting was held at the
Lawrence tent, and young peoples meeting
at the Massachusetts, Mission tent, which was
led by Elder Hiram Il. Choate of Augusta,
Me-, the very efficient secretary and treasurer
of the association, who formerly spracticed law
in that city, and who about two years ago left
large practice fto work for the Master as an

Elder Charles E. Barnes of Salem, Mass, pre-
sided. Prayer was offered by Elder VIM. w.
Sutherland of Newport, N Fl. Elder Harri-
son e. Tucker of Stonington, Conn.,, preached
the sermon. which was a good, practical dis
course based upon Acts xvi, 80 and 81. He
went on to say that the jailor would not have
asked such question If he had not felt that
he was lost. In order to be saved it is not
enough to simply believe that there was man
called Jesus, but that he is the SON of God.
Believing on Christ is not believing about him
simply. To believe on Christ is to believe the
message he brings Redemption is not saliva
ton, for all are redeemed, but only those who
believe are saved. All are redeemed from the
| Adamic death. Only believers from the SEE
! ond death. Believers are not only pa1doned
| but are cleansed aud kept, and saved eter-
| nally.
| After this service was closed large and in
| terestng meetings were held in several of the
| principal tents.
| At the Lawrence tent seven manifested a de-
sire to be prayed for.
Some 5000 people, incluling some 60 preach
| ers, have been upon the grounds today. Tht
weather has been splendid. The singing, in
| connection with the meetings, is just excel
lent.
Mr.. Kicker was not injured near as badly a.
at first supposed, and there are good pros
| poets of his speedy recovery.

THE AUTHOR OF EvERETTIsM.-Oar readers

city nearly year ago by man calling him
self George Everett, and the performance

how his tricks were performed called it by his
own name. The Boston Herald tells very
bad story about this man whose name is
George Everett Avery. He deserted his wife
leaving her with his parents in Lynn while he
travelled about the country with another
woman, to whom it is said he has recently
been married. His wife hearing of his I'M
faithfulness was taken insane and has been
sent to an asylum for treatment. Il is also
claimed that there is a little financial M after
for him to adjust 10 Boston. Officers are now

the left hand of the chancel, represents the
chalce, another, at the left of the gallery, the
lily, while that over the pulpit combines
various biblical symbols including alpha and
omega, the Holy Word, the paschal lamb and
the mitre. AT evening six corona gasaliers, of
very pretty pattern, each of six lights, with
eight wall brackets, will illuminate the
church. The wood work of the pews is

carpet Of scarlet and brown covers the floor
