MoUNDsvILLE, August 26.

MoUNDSvILLE, August 26.
The weather has been pleasantly cool
to-day, and the attendance upon the
grounds very good. The various services
during the day were well attended, and
a greater interest manifested than on
any previous day since the meeting
opened.
The meeting for the promotion OF
holiness was held in the tabernacle this
morning at s o'clock, and conducted by
Rev. d. Fl. X. Dix. The meeting was
very interesting, several being convert
ed and some processing sanctitication.
Rev. A. Hall, of Cameron, preached
in the tabernacle at l0:30 o'clock, sub
ject, "The Rich Young Ruler" Mark,
10th chapter and 18th verse. He was
followed by DR.. Mathews, in very
earnest talk.
The children's meeting was held in
the tabernacle at 80 this afternoon,
and conducted by Sumner Stone.
Rev. Toland, OF Bellaire, preached a
short but very good sermon in the taber-
nacle, this afternoon at 8 o'clock, from
Rom. l4th chap. and 10Th verse He was
followed by Mrs. Robinson, who never
fails TO be interesting and instructive.
Quite a number went forward for pray
ers.
Tonight the main circle in front OF
the stand is lit up again, and a large
audience greets Mrs. Robinson. The
services were opened with prayer by
Rev. J. j. Dolliver. From the words
"What doest thou here, Eliah?" Mrs.
Robinson preached most excellent
sermon.
The cottage prayer meetings held at 8
O'Clock are being regarded OF much i'm
portance, and in passing over the
grounds at this hour in the evening, the
voice of prayer greets your ear from
every tent. feel warranted in saying
that there is being good accomplished,
and all seem to be much encouraged.
Rev. q. C.. Wilding conducted the
young peoples meeting in the taber-
nacle at o'clock. His mode OF con-
ducting these meetings is very success
ful, as all formality is ignored and the
responsibility OF the meeting thrown
upon the young people for whom the
meetings are held. When we left the
tabernacle it was literally packed, and
the freedom with which the young peo-
pie took part in the services, and stood
up before the audience and either testl-
fled OF a Savior's love, or asked an inter
est in the prayers OF others, was a
marked indication of the deep interest
they had in their spiritual welfare.
The rain on Monday having laid the
dust, the grounds are very pleasant,
and tomorrow and next day the at
tendance is expected to be very large.
Rev. Toland left this afternoon for his
home in Bellaire.
The ministerial arrivals to-day were
Rev. Darby and Rev. Wright, ofthe East
Ohio Conference.
