To begin with I must protest agains
your compositor treating me as he does oil
has done nseveral instances. He has made
me say some things different from what
meant in every letter. | tried to bear II
with becoming resignation until this
morning when am made to call the
woman's prayer meeting the 6ued instead
Of the fra as l wrote it, No remarks,
about penmanship.
Last night by dark Tie tllrongs had left
the grounds. It would have been impos.
stble TO find quieter and more orderly
crowd. l questioned policeman on the
subject, and he told me that even pro.
family was not heard. All fears OF trouble
that had been entertained proved utterly
groundless. There was no attempt 10 dis.
regard the Sunday law in regard TO
selling unnecessary articles. The police
force, consisting Of n. H. Rowles, John
Mccormack and Andrew Roeder, moved
among the people enough to let them see
that the authority 10 enforce the law was
here, and the presence Of these well known
officers no doubt had much to do with the
excellent order.
At six o'clock was held children's
meeting, presided over by Rev. Henthorn
and addressed by Mrs. Henthorn and
"Oharley" Barnes. Mr.. B. is a student Of
Mt. Union College, and was particularly
happy in adapting himself TO the compre.
hension Of the young audie .ce.
At 1880 Rev. Sullivan, OF BarnesyilIe,
preached at the main stand. Your re.
porter was SO unfortunate as to be unable
to attend this service, but on inquiring OF
others all joined In saying Il was most
mastery and eloquent sermon, one Of the
very best ever delivered on this encamp-
ment.
This morning dawned bright and beauti.
tul and calm. Every one seemed glad that
the hresome day Just gone was over, and
the question naturally came will such
day ever come here again. Will the maua.
gers close their gates next year on the
l CHANGED to occupy position
overlooking the thousands waiting for
home at the hour the excur.
sion trains were to leave. Was there
thought there OF the sanctity OF the day?
Had II been a day Of rest TO one person
there? Had one person heard sermon
during the day that would not have heard
one more proftably had they not come
here? The churches lift their hands in
holy horror when Sunday excursion from
our cities is proposed. Let me ask what
was this but Sunday excursion? Ger
talnly, you answer, but. But what?
They go there avowedly 10 have a
good time. They come here professedly
10 worship the good God, but nine.teuths
OF them really for only the same purpose
the other excursions 90. Now, who Is to
blame? Would not alt answer with one
accord, the managers who offer tho induce
ment by holding the meeting. The feel.
Ing against this hagrant dissertation Of the
Lords Day is growing among Christians.
The usual social meeting at $50 was the
opening service OF the day. At the same
hour children's class was held.
AT 1880 Rev. Starkey, OF Morristown,
expounded in his usual torcible style the
fifteenth verse Of the seventh Psalm. This
is Rev. Starkey's appointment. and he
seems indefatigable in good works.
The hour for the children's 3 meeting was
changed to 10 o'clock, in order 10 allow
persons spending the day here to attend.
The increase in the attendance proved the
wisdom Of the change. The spacious
tabernacle was well filled. Rev. Slutx con.
Quoted and addressed the meeting. Rev.
Stewart also talked TO the children.
The lack OF punCtuality is a noticeable
feature among the people attending this
meeting. Everyone seems 10 wait until
the services begin before thew po and
those IN charge seem to wait for the peo-
PIE to come before beginning services.
The consequence is each meeting is late
beginning and must be choked off before
half through.
Rev. a. Il. Stewart, OF SenecaviIle con.
Quoted the services at 3:3O p. NJ, using for
a text Ephesians IL. At the close no
persons responded to the invitation 10
present themselves for prayers. The ex.
hortations are so earnest aud eloquent 1t
does seem strange that no one is moved.
AT the close OF the 1880 service on
Wednesday morning the sacrament OF the
Lords supper will be administered.
The Medical and Chirurgical Society Of
Eastern Ohio meets at this place, or in the
village adjoining the grounds, tomorrow
(ruesdayl at 10 o'clock. Quite large at
tendance is expected.
