After the dust Of yesterday the genera
verdict Is that the managers here are very
remiss In duty II, another year, they dc
not provide means TO allay this annoy
ance. The tramping crowds Of Sunday
had ground the earth into powder, and
yesterday it filled the air and was breathed
into the lungs Of the people. A sprink.
ling cart driven over the walks each day
would answer the purpose and cost but
very little. gtEE5sF R'I I
The mothers meeting last evening was
held ut the usual hour and proved quito an
interesting meeting,
At 1880 Rev. Phillips preached from
"Behold | stand atthe door and knock"
At the close Of the, sermon the people
seemed go restless'it was proposed to re.
tire to the tabernacle for prayer meeting
which was to follow. The change oi
place proved good thing. The people
were brought more together and the
promenaders were shut of. Several re.
sponded To- the invitation to 30 forward for
prayers. All were young.
This morning the usual social meeting
was held. Lovers Of punctuality have
been very much annoyed during this
meeting. Whoever had charge Of matters
seemed to have no idea Of time. Almost
every service was begun from fifteen TO
iorty.hve minutes after the time !, an.

1880 Rev. Burt preached from Isaiah
6"-l. Rev. B. was for four years Presid.
ing Elder OF this district, and endeared
himself to the hearts Of the people during
that time. He is q deep thinker and good
taiker, and OF course preached good ser.
mon. After preaching, the sacrament OF
the Lords Supper was administered to
three hundred and nineteen communi.
cants, besides thirty-three ministers OF the
gospel.
At two o'clock the children,s meeting
was held at the main stand. II was con.
iucted by Rev. Henthorn. More chil.
lren were present than atany time before.
The addresses were made BY Reys, Cob.
bledick, Wolf and Conkle. The talks
were all most admirable. Rev. Wolf
opened by saying he could not talk to
and then went on 10 give prac-
Iical proof that he could do it in most
successful degree. Ministers
10 diving among the deep recesses Of theo-
logical lore are very apt to lose the power
Of simplifying their language to tile COM
prehension Of children, but this man,
be has gone deeper in tho mines
d truth than some men, can still be q lit
lie child.
Several children gave their names to the
church at the close OF the service,
4 at $3.50, Rev. Slutz preached. The peo-
ple seemed tired, hot and restless, hut
goodly number listened intently.
Several families are moving out this ai-
ternoon, as this is the closing day OF the
meeting. ta - 4
