MoUNDsvILLE, September LIST.
We don't mean to say to-day has been
hot in Moundsville, but when a man 5
shirt collar loses its dignity in about
three hours service, and the average
boy is seen to pause for moment on
the shady side OF the street and mop the
perspiration from his noble brow with
the soft side of the market basket, 1t 5
enough 10 make a man retire for the day
and ponder over the vicissitudes OF a
business life.
The first service upon the camp
ground to-day was held in the taber-
naclc at o'clock. 1t assumed the char
acter of a general experience meeting,
and much interest was manifested. The
meeting was in charge OF Rev. Henry
Cellars, OF Mooreheld.
At 1890, Presiding Elder Ball
preached from the main stand. The
words OF his text were, "ThoSe that be
planted in the house OF the Lord shall
flourish in the courts OF our God, -
92d Psalm, 18th verse. At the conclu-
sion OF this sermon the sacrament of the
Lords supper was taken. \ large num-
her of both white and cOlorcd persons
communcd together upon this occasion.
The services ut = o clock at the stand
were in charge of Rev. Geo. W. Jenkins,
of Sharpsburg. Md, who preached 4
sermon 81 much force from the words
go We dry bones; hear We the voice of
the Lord-Ezekiel XXxiv., t. The main
point in this sermon, which was pre-
Sented with good effect, was that lust is
the mother OF sin, and sin the mother OF
death.
The services at the stand this evening
were introduced bysinging Whatsoever
will may come, after which Presiding
Elder Bell offered 4 very earnest prayer.
Rev. Daley, Of Romney, preached Il
very good sermon from the words,
Father, the hour is come'-St. John
xvii, |. This gentleman seems
to be comparatively young, but
he bears evidence OF some abil-
ity in the arrangement and pre-
scntatiOn of his thoughts. He is slow
and measured in his delivery, but never
loses the line OF thought suggested in
his text.
BY special request Rev. Riddeck, OF
Baltimore, will preach tomorrow even
ing upon the subject OF the desirability
OF mans following the pursuits most
adapted to his capabilities, and strictly
attending to them, as applied both to
hls temporal and spiritual being. Rev.
Riddeck is gentleman of some culture
and will no doubt attain TO some degree
OF prominence in his church, as he is
yet a young man.
The regular services OF the NJ. h.
church OF Moundsville will be resumed
on next Sunday morning. The school
hall, which has been undergoing re-
pairs, will be ready by that time.

port a good meeting OF the educational
association, although not very largely
attended. FELIX.
