To-day has been a memorable one
upon the camp ground. Az the time
draws near for the close Of the camp
ing season, a deep feeling of sorrow
seems 10 take possession OF many hearts
as they recall TO their minds the piers
ant associations that will be broken up
if ONLY ipr a season. The services
thrnrghout the day have been deeply
interesting, and after summing up the
results Of their labors this season, the
workers i'm Gods service can see that
their efforts have not been in vain.
The first services to-day were held IN
the tahrruacl, at s o clock this morning,
and were conducted by Rev. &. ID. Bat
tclle, of GAINESVILLE. The meeting Was a
very interesting one, and several went
forward for prayers, and two or three
were converted.
The announcement that Mrs. Robin
son would preach from the main stand
at 1920 o'clock this morning for the last
time this season, brought within the
auditorium very large congregation to
listen to this gifted lady. The words OF
her text were, "Thou shalt be no more
called Jacob, but Israel" Her sermon
is admitted by all 10 be the grandest
effort OF the season. 1t was vigorous in
stvle, comprehensive in outline, and
beautiful in its presentation. Its power
was simply wonderful.
Atl:3O Sumner Stone took charge OF
the childrcn's meeting in the Taber-
nacle, and ii was regarded as most ex-
celent one.
There was no preaching in the alter
noon from the main stand, but grand
old time methodist experience meeting
was held in the auditorium under the
management Of Rev. j. J. Dolliver. At
the conclusion Of these services, com
munion services were held with Rev.
Hall officiating.
The young peoples meeting in the
Tabernacle at q o'clock WAS conducted
bv Rev. George IIite. The services were
deeply interesting.
Dir. 4. G. George preached tonight,
from the stand, a very excellent sermon.
The attendance was very large, and the
audience seemed to be highly apprecia-
tive. This il the last service OF the
Association this season, and to-
morrow quite a number will leave
for their homes while some
we understand, will remain upon the
grounds until after the close OF the col
ored campmeeting, which opens to-mor-
row night.
PERSONALS, &C.
Mrs. Robinson left this afternoon for
Columbus, Ohio, where she goes ~ fill
another engagement. Her services here
this season were highly appreciated by
the Association and the people generally.
The Association appropriated $40 for
her compensation, and a private dona-
ton was made, making in all SIPS. She
leaves here crowned with success, and
the Association has partially arranged
for her for next year.
DR.. Mathews leaves tomorrow for
Wheeling, where he will remain over
Sunday and preach in the Fourth Street
NJ f.. Church. lie also has been liber-
ally paid, and every body is well pleased
with his services.
The meeting this year has been 80
successful and the season 50 pleasant,
the demands for lots has been as great
near the close OF the meeting as il was in
the spring. Every lot has been taken
on la Belle avenue, and a great many on
Western avenue within the last day or
two.
The meeting this year has been sue
cess financially, and all bills against the
association are being paid of as last as
presented. This is certainly gratifying,
and will no doubt add to the success OF
the meeting next year. fELIr.
