THE EVENING STAR.
...AUGUST IS, 1851.
SATURDAY
Washington Grove Camp Meetin,

6 O'Clock gave notice to all that for two weeks
scamp rules" were in force, and elegant
leisure" was thing of the past. The occupants
OF military camp could not have responded more
promptly to the call, and everything started of
with precision that astonished the unin-
ltlated on the ground. The first regular ser
vice OF the day was prayer meeting at $50, led
by Rev. W. l. Mckenny, of Wesley Chapel, who
| Is admirably adapted for leading this very inn
portant service, upon the spirit and power Of
which the success of the subsequent services are
largely contingent. The meeting was well at
tended and great interest manifested through
out, 80 that when the bell summoned the con-
gregation for the preaching service at 1015
O'Clock large audience greeted DR.. Lanahan,
VINO took for his text the words found In Acts
xxvi-Paurs argument before Agrippa. 1t was
| q plain, practical talk, calculated to do much
good. During the course of his remarks the
Doctor met the objections sometimes expressed
| by persons, otherwise heartily in accord with
| the camp management of trains bringing
! crowds here on Sunday, by saying that the same
persons did not object to the street cars Of the
| city bringing crowds to the door of the church
whenever some distinguished preacher was to
occupy the home pulpit. To find fault with the
| former and to approve the latter was to make
distinction without difference. The next
service Of the day was at 2.SO pm, and, as is
| customary,
| A CHILDREN'S MEETING,
led by that notable man to interest children,
Rev. H. 8. France, Qormerly of Grace Church.
Washington now Of Winchester. To show the
interest taken in it by the little ones, it is only
| necessary to say that 1t ran all the afternoon,
and those present seemed 10th to give it up
even when the clock warned them of the near
approach of the dinner hour. The evening train
brought a large number Of new arrivals
and the closing services of the day, at
~ o'clock, was well attended. The
| speaker was the Rev. DR.. E. D. Owen, of
! High street n. E. church, Baltimore. He took
Tor his text Philippians, 3-13 and Ia verses. Few
speakers are more effective than DR.. Owens. and
| this sermon was replete with valuable thought
and suggestion, and closed with an earnest ex-
hOrtatOn to all present to follow the example of
the Apostle by making Christ the object of their
lives. After the dOXology was sung,
| A MEETING OF THE TENT HOLDERS
was called. Hon. Thomas P. Morgan took the
chair and stated that the meeting was called for
the purpose of securing the cooperation of the
tent holders in helping the sanitary officers. He
cautioned them to be careful of fire. stating that
Ii fire should occur in camp he wanted each
person to come out of his tent with bucket or
pitcher of water, so that some assistance might
| be rendered by EACH He gave them other good
| advice as to camp discipline.
| post office has been established at the ho-
| tel-Mr Wash. Williams postmaster-and here
| the young folks flock each morning about teu
| ones.
Preparations on a large scale are being made
by the hotel and boarding-tent proprietors for
the Sabbath. The chickens raised in this imme-
| date nelghbOrhOOd are never used for camp
dinners, because they cannot be caught. but OF
the unwise ones at distance large supply has
been provided If the weather is propitious,
fully 200 persons will probably be in attend
| ance on Sunday.
This afternoon the news reached here of the
death OF Mr.. G. W. MObiey, at II this am, at
his home in LaytOnsviile, in this county. Mr..
| MObley had been merchant at that place for
many years and amassed a very large fortune. A
simple tribute to his worth was paid by q lady
