Correspondence OF the Register.
While the attendance upon the
grounds has not increased since yester'
day, perhaps, in consequence OF the
oppressive heat, the services during the
day seems to have been specially en-
joyed by all.
At s o'clock services for the promo
ton OF holiness were held in the
Tabernacle, and conducted by Rev. W.
F. Cannon, who addressed the meeting
at considerable length. He was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Robinson, the indefati-
gable worker, with avery earnest talk.
Services were held at the stand at
1880, at which time Rev. +. W. Ryan,
OF Grafton, preached from Cor.
chapter, 23d and oath verses. His dis
course was one iull OF encouragement TO
the heart OF man, as applied even to the
practical affairs OF this life, andits effect
upon the audience was very preceptible.
Following Rev. Ryan was Mrs. Robin
son, who addressed the meeting with
her usual force and eloquence. The
services were closed with prayer by DR..
MdllltM >, Vi new OIltdllS.
The children's meeting in the Taber-
nacle at 80 was conducted by Mrs.
Jackson, of Loudensville, who addressed
them briefly with good effect. She was
followed by DIR. Mathews, who talked to
the children in a very pleasing and in
teresting manner. At the close of the
meeting several children knelt for
prayers. will say in this connection
that il is expected to hold grand chill
dren's temperance meeting in the Tab
ernacle on Sunday afternoon.
The most interesting and, no doubt,
beneficial services held in the camp so
far, was at the main stand this after
noon. They were conducted by Mrs.
Robinson, and for over an hour she
spoke 10 the large audience present
with power that no one not possessing
her peculiar talents could. She has a
versatility of genius that enables her TO
illustrate her points with remarkable
aptitude and force, and her fund of
knowledge and excellent judgment give
her addresses a marked degree of orig
inality and vigor. This lady, by her
genial manners and devotedness to the
"OIh III NllCu Sut lldS bttll cLsdSchi
has won the praises OF the entire camp.
The Young Peoples Meeting was
held in the Tabernacle at o'clock, and
conducted by Rev. w. e.. Rhieldaffer.
Very earnest and feeling addresses were
made by Mr.. Will j. Mcconnell, DR..
Mathews, OF New Orleans, and Mrs.
Robinson, respectively. Quite a num-
ber gave evidence OF desire to become
Christians before the close of the meet
ing.
Rev. Slease, of the Pittsburgh Con-
ference, preached from lst chap. st.
John and 18th verse, "For the law was
given by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ" His remarks
upon this subject were elaborate and
clear. lie was followed by Mrs. Robin
son, who prefaced her remarks by sing
ing a very beautiful hymn. As we
leave the grounds, she is conducting an
altar service and her audience seem to
be deeply interested.
