Correspondence OF the Register
MoUNDvILLE, August 20.
The weather has been delightful here
to-day, and the various services held on
the camp ground were largely attended,
and seemed to be enjoyed very much by
all present The first meeting OF the
morning was conducted by Rev. W. f..
Rippey, Of the Wesley Church, Wheel
ing.
Rev. j. z. Thatcher preached from the
main stand in the morning, on the sub
ject of Entire Sanctitication, his sub
ject being taken from first Thes. 9th to
23d verse. The sermon was forcible
presentation of the thoughts suggested
by this passage OF Scripture.
The first services in the afternoon
were those held in the tabernacle for the
instruction OF the children. This is a
very interesting and important feature
in the camp exercises, and seems des-
tined to accomplish great good. The
meeting was conducted by Mrs. ID. r..
Bell, of Wheeling Island, who addressed
the children in very simple and touch
ing manner. She was followed by Rev.
u.
who had the children repeat after him
some very appropriate quotations from
the Bible. His remarks were very in
teresting, as they always are.
After singing, Mrs. Russell, a lady
who is soon to leave this country for
Japan TO engage in mission work, was
introduced to the children, and talked
to them with great earnestness, and
kindly admonished them to give their
hearts to Christ while young. The
meeting was closed by very appropriate
remarks by Rev. G. +. Hite, of Zane
Street Church, Wheeling.
At the main stand in the afternoon
regular services were held, which were
opened by prayer. Rev. j. j. Doliver
preached plain, practical sermon from
acts Sth chap. and seth verse, "And he
went on his way rejoicing" &c. He
was followed by Rev. +. W. Ryan, OF
Grafton, who spoke with much feeling
and pathOs. At this juncture, under
the management OF Rev. Ryan, the SER
vices were merged into experience or
class meeting, which was continued for
some time with agreat degree OF interest.
At the evening services Rev. G. f..
Manchester preached from the text,
"The ungodly shall not stand in
the Judgment" first Psalm and
9TH verse. His discourse was listened
to with marked attention, and the forci-
BILE manner in which he presented his
thoughts showed the power possessed
by this gentleman as a speaker. The
services for the evening were closed by
a brief talk by Rev. j. c. Wilding and
several short prayers.
