"PRAIsE THE LORD"

CAMP"PRAIsETHELo LORD" Aug Is, 81.
Dear Interior;
Last night the first week Of the meeting
closed. The results surpass expectation.
Eighty-6ve have confessed the LORD for
the soul, and eighty one for the body. The
congregations have been uniformly atten-
tive and quiet There has been no over
whelming rush in any particular. The
attendance has been that Of a good average
meeting in the mountains, and the only
difference between this and other meetings
is that this is held under a tent, with a
large part Of the congregation living in
shsnties, instead Of a village with Court
house and private residences. What il
may be in a week from this ! cannot say,
but now our camp life is as quiet as one
could wish-not near rs much drinl ing
as in any couniy-seat we have visited.
There Is whisky here, Of course, but IL il
handed around very clandestinely, and
there has been no offensive exhibition OF

Dear rrai'e ms 'ear name 'Sre'e'
Since the doleful ducking Of last Sun
day no rain has fallen, and we are now
better prepared for future storms. Our
huts are entirely re-roofed, by setting the
boards more closely together and the
sharp experience OF Sunday afternoon hav-
ing revealed the assailsble points OF our
encsmpment, the wise ones have diligently
made provision sgainst recurrence OF
disaster. Some, however, are like the
