various places in the grounds, and were
well attended. At 1890 in the morn
ing DR.. \. G. George preached a sermon
OF great clearneSs and power, from
Matthew 23d chapter and S7th verse
Thou shalt love the Lord with all thy
heart, with all thy mind and with all
thy strength" &c. Ii the soul can be
conceived as an orbit or circle, this love
to God is sufficient to fill and harmonic
it with the melodies OF heaven. AS a
father, what less should God demand OF
his children than that they love him
with the fullness OF their capacities? II
only required to love in part, where will
the line be drawn? What facilities and
capabilities are 10 be excluded? Any
thing less than complete love TO God
could not meet the necessities OF man
himself 1t is essential to the useful
ness and happiness of man that his
heart should be- in perfect harmony with
the will oi God. Man cannot be useful
TO the iull extent oi his faculties who is
OF q different heart or mind. This point
was forciUly illustrated by applying it to
the affairs oi the business world. The
Doctors discourse throughout was
marked by great clearness and beauty OF
expression.
Mrs. Robinson followed this sermon
with an cXhortation OF unusual power,
Another sermon that deserves special
mention was one preached by Rev. I.
NJ. Hudson, at o'clock in the evening
at the tabernacle His text was taken
from l Cor. 81 chap. and 9th verse, 81
have planted, Appolas watereth, but
God giyeth the increase" His remarks
were very affecting, and at the close OF
his sermon quite a number rose Tor
prayers and one lady proiessed conver-
sion.
To-day has been a grand day on the
grounds. Early this morning the people
commenced pouring in from the coun.
try in wagons and by the boats and
trainsfrom the cities and towns within
radius OF one hundred miles.
The first services held this morning
were conducted by Mrs. Robinson in
the tabernacle. twas a meeting Of uni
vcrsal interest, and quite q number OF
Young persons went forward for prayers.
At l0:3O Dr. Mathews preached from
the main stand a sermon which Is
characterized by many as the greatest
sermon that has been preached upon the
grounds. He is q man OF unusual
prowcss, and his words rang out
over that vast congregation which
filled every nook and corner in the
auditorium. Handkcrchicis were seen
to 90 up to fearful eyes in every
direction. lie is more noted for the
GOOD things lac says than for the man
ner i'm which hc says them. He drops
his words out upon the ears OF his hear
crs with such peculiar power a. to carry
conviction To the heart at once.
Mrs. Robinson conducted the services
al the stand at o'clock this afternoon.
They were opened by singing the long
metre DoXology, after which Rev. II. {.
Sanford led i'm prayer. When 1t became
known that this remarkable little woman
was to address the meeting, the great,
surging mass OF persons pressed into the
main circle, and some, in their eager
ness 10 see and hear her preach, stood
aisles Immediately in front Of the stand.
Her text was, "li any man sin, We have
an advocate with the Father. We
scarcely ever heard a subject handled
with such skill or thoughts presented
with more force. While her words are
well chosen, her simplicity and pungcn-
cv OF speech is the marvel OF every one.
At o'clock this evening the young
peoples meeting was held in the Taber-
nacle, which was conducted by Rev.
Hte, of Zane street, Wheeling. DR..
Mathews addressed the meeting in Il
very.ieeling manner.
Rev. T. b. Hughes, OF Buchannon
District, preached from the stand tins
eveniI 2. His text was, III man die
shall he live again?' Rev. Hughes is
fine sermonizer, and his earnest man
ncr at once commands the attention OF
his audience. He is 4 sound reasoncr
and iorciblc speaker. AZ the conclusion
of the services at the stand the meeting
adjourned to the Tabernacle for sea
son OF PRAYER and signing. As we leave
the grounds the meeting Is still IN pro-
grCss, and a greater interest manifested
than at any time since the camp meet
ing commenced.
