Certainly no one could wish for q more
pleasant day than we were fovored with
today. There was delightful breeze
stirring during the entire day, and the
ground being in excellent condition for
going to and fro to the services, there was
a large attendance at each service.
One can notice marked difference
in the countenances OF the people when
the weather is pleasant, as every one
seems to be in excellent humor, and to
the contrary when there is rain. Many OF
the visitors here take occasion 10 visit the
State Penitentiary, and all pronounce
themselves as being well pleased with the
appearance OF the institution. | learned
to-day that there were $50 persons visited
there on Sunday.
The,neeting for the "Promotion OF Ho-
liness," in the tabernacle this morning,
was largely attended. It was in charge Of
Rev. ]. ]. Dolliver. This reverend gentle
man is full Of zeal, and manifests great in
terest in the spiritual welfare OF the un-
converted. He urged the followers OF
SAlAAob W GukhEG III d lulu UlOEe knee
work and greater results would follow.
The 1850 A. II. services at the main
stand were in charge OF Rev. Q. d. Battelle,
Of GAINESVILLE, Q. Being well known in
Wheeling and this vicinity he was hon
ored with q large congregation. Rev. Bat
telle looks Us well and hearty as he looked
in. former years. The first meeting that
was held on this ground, twenty.nine
years ago, was in charge Of Rev. Battelle.
He is an able man in the pulpit, and
genial warm hearted man out OF it. At
the close OF the sermon an altar service
was held, which was meeting OF great
interest, The wonderful power OF God 10
save, was fully witnessed at this meeting.
The childrens' meeting, as usual, was
one Of interest. Mrs. D. r. Bell, OF the
Island, lis certainly deserving OF great
praise for the interest she has taken in
these childrens' meetings.
In the afternoon at o'clock Rev. ], ],
Dolllyer had charge Of an experience
meeting. Many testified to the TACT that
Jesus had taken them as brands from the
burning. Some had been following
Christ for 40 years, and yet the were not
tired. Others we're as mere "lambs OF the
flock" These meetings apparently have
more influence over the unconverted than
the sermons. A regular Methodist hand.
shaking took place at the close OF the
meeting.
At six o'clock the young peoples meet
ing in the Tabernacle was conducted by
Rev. George Z. Hite, OF Zane Street NJ
E. Church. The Tabernacle was crowded
and the good order that prevailed was
: noticeable. An earnest appeal was made
to the unconyerted to accept the treat
ment OF the "Divine Physician" and bt
saved. Several presented themselves a
the altar.
Mrs. Robinson spoke to large audi
ence at 1880 p. N. She is still very inter
