terday. The gentlemen having these
services in charge do their utmost to
utilize all the talent on the ground, and
tn make every department OF their work
tell upon the youth. Mr.. Hite seems to
he at home among the children and Mr..
Nssden and others among the young
people. Many oil the adults attend
these services, but We hope they will
not forget that the time belongs to the
two classes named and should uot be
taken from them only by special invita-
ton.
At 1890 the pulpit was occupied by
Rev. G. f. Hite, OF your city. He Sc
lected as his text the words, The glorl,
GUS Gospel Of the blessed God" and
proceeded to show its glory, power and
adaptation to the saving OF the human
family wheresoeyer received. 1t was
lcgica! discourse, well arranged and de-
Iiyere 10 an attentive audience. IL was
presented in bold, plain language and
could not fail to carry conviction TO the
class OF hearers for whom 1t Was intend
ed. Mr.. Hite is an earnest preacher,
free from sentiment alism and success
full in his work. We bespeak for him
very useful future.
At 3 o'clock Rev. ]. M. Warden
preached a Thoughtful and impressive
discourse from these words: "For the
great day OF his wrath is come, and VINO
shall be able to stand" Theme, the
judgement and preparation necessary
thereto. After this and the morning
sermon, altar services OF thirty minutes
were held, and several professed TO nave
received much benefit from The meet
ings thus far. We have no doubt good
is being done, though it may not be
heard from in every instance. Yet the
bread cast upon the waters shall .e
found again after many days.
At 7:3O the congregation was very
large, all those intending TO spend Sun
day on the grounds having arrived,
while those who intended to 90 home
for Sunday did not leave until after the
evening service. The pulpit was occu-
pied bv Rev. J. A. Fullerton, OF Mounds
vile. He selected as his text, Psalm

lead me to the rock, that is higher than
T." theme, "rhe distul bling elements OF

Just as the preacher had his subject well

congregation had 10 adjourn to the tab

four of the most remarkable problems

qualities, the need OF divine guide

To-day Sunday the gates are close d
and everything on the camp ground and
in the town is very quiet. 1t does not
look like camp meeting on Sunday in
Moundsvile. Very few persons are
promenading on the streets and no ex-
element or noise OF any kind can be
heard. The pulpit at the camp ground
was occupied in the morning by Rev.
Turner, in the afternoon by Rev. f. w.
RYAN, and in the evening by Rev. l.. l..
Stewart. The pulpit OF Simpson NJ. +.
| Church was filed very aCceptably this
morning by Prof. Wade, who also adj
dressed the convicts at the PeDtentary
at 9 o'clock.
Thus far we have heard OF no CONVEX
sions and we are sorry 10 have to
note this fact.
The two most prominent features OF
this camp meeting are the absence OF
disorder AMI confusion OF every kind
and the entire lack OF conversions or
accessions TO the church. Here is a
problem for some one TO solve. 1t can
hardly be considered successful work TO
continue a meeting five days merely to
strengthen protesting Christians while
no other class is reached? There must
be a change in some way, and whatever
may prejudice the people against camp
meetings be removed. or else the whole
system be abandoned or changed into
some other name.
