BRANDYwINE SUMMIT CANT, August H.
Yesterday was characterized for its beauty
and serenity, and was in striking contrast
with the surging mass of humanity that
thronged the grounds and raised the dust on
Sunday. 1t was truly day of SURPRISING
beauty and delight. The stiffness of tho
early morning was broken by the songs of
gratitude and praise at the 6 o'clock prayer
meeting which was held in st. Paurs tent
under Rev. Il. j. Prettyman.
At o'clock the prayer meeting in front of
the stand was led by Rev. L. l.. Tompkinson,
and was a season of enjoyment.
At 10 O'Clock the sermon was delivered by
Rev. John d. Fox, of the Philadelphia Con-
ference, whose text was 1. Cor. XII. 10 "And
now abideth faith" 1t was a gentle sermon
but like the diffusive dew it fell in blessings
upon all who heard it and dissolved many
hearts to tenderness and melted eyes to tears.
Rev. W. ]. Paxon led the prayer meeting
which followed.
The children's meeting under the charge OF
Rev. G. II. Seminar was held in Union tent
and was very largely attended. II. II.

HOW TO
GET almost
Everything.

Do you know how to get
in the easiest way and to best
advantage what you want for
dress and house-furnishing?
First, how: Write for a
catalogue; see what you can
learn from it about the things
you want. Ifsamplcs can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants SO
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where: The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in respect to quality;
where prices are lowest;
where most care is taken
to serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
is not satisfactory.
lherc-no matter where
you are-if you make your
wants known and avail your
self of your privileges, you
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk;
sometimes by mail, some
times by express, almost
always at less cost for car
rage than the money you
save in the price. ~.

1t does seem true, az our worthy
contemporary, the Baton Rouge Ca.

ment Of Louisiana IL left entirely to
the press. We cannot add one word
to what 1t says:
So much has been said by the press
on the subject Of immigration with.
out elicitiDg the slightest movement
in response thereto, that it looks like
preaching in the desert to again ap
peal to the slumberers Of Louisiana,
who have not, thus far, been brought
to relalize the extent OF their Deepen.
ence upon the outside world.
We are more than willing to lend
the efforts OF the CAPITOL1AN In this
campaign that must result in render
ing Louisiana q great and prosperous
Safe. We want to feel, however,
that the elbows of our fellow .citizens
Of East Baton Rouge are touching
ours.
We want to feel that the people Of
this parish are going to throw aside
their petty feuds, and act together
for the general good, and that they
will, instead Of throwing cold water
on those who are willing to take 9
hand, join In the cry Of the devil

OF our citizens including the women
and children were inspired on last

guns, the threats OF violence and
murder and the display OF shot guns
openly and publicly made upon our

for the protection OF our lives and

der Of society We invoke a strict en-.
forcement Of these laws, In order
that we may be protected against

civil rights. We know that the great

peaceable and law.abiding citizens
and deprecate all such outrages az
