Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-10-17

Sunday morning Elder Van Horn, late o
Oregon. spoke on the prophecy OF Daniel
tracing the rise and fall of empires, the fui
fillment of the words of the prophecy TAI
down In the present dispensation, to show
that the kingdom which the God OF HEAVIER
shall sst up is near. It was comprehensive
discourse, and received good attention iron
the audience.
In the afternoon Mrs. White spoke again
from Luke xix, on Christ's riding into ) eru Isl
lem, and driving the traders from the
temple. The lady has recently risen from 8
severe sickness, and did not, on thi:
occasion, seem to have the strength anc
Yigor manifested the day before, but the large
audience, more than filling the great tent,
gave close attention to her words. Notwieh'
standing her appearance OF weakness, sne
sometimes rose above this and appealed &c
her audience in very eloquent manner
She has style of speaking quite peculiar te
herself She is always listened to with silent
attention. At 5:45 P. N. temperance meet.
ing was held 1t was Introductory on this
subject, as the regular meeting Of the Stats
| Health and Temperance Association is yet to
be held. Mrs. White has the reputation Of
being an effective speaker on temperance,
and due announcement will be made when
she will speak On the subject.
| AT 7:30 last night Elder Briggs preached
on Turkey as a subject OF prophecy. Elder
Briggs is entirely blind. He is a nephew OF
Rev. DR.. Briggs, the well-known Methodist
minister, CLEAR thinker and vigorous
speaker. His text was Daniel xii, 4: Many
shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be
increased" He followed the history of Tur-
key down through her conquests and her
decline of power, and pointing out her pres
emit enemies as noted in Daniel and Ezekiel.
Turkey occupies as important place in the
minds of the Adventists, as subject Of
prophecy, as she does in the minds of the
European powers as bone of contention.
1t is certain that, weak as she now is, she is
mark of interest to the whole world.
The attendance at the camp grounds yes
terday was exceedingly large, and in the
afternoon the streets leading eastward to the
Park were for several hours lined by an al
most continuous procession of cars, wagons,
hacks, carriages and buggies, conveying peo-
pie, while hundreds of men and women took
to the less speedy, but more economical
foot and walker line. In the camp grounds
the scene was a very attractive one. Fully
three thousand people passed in at the gates,
wandered about the avenues, gathered in the
great pavilion, or visited the booths and
stands in the camp. The unanimous judg
ment was that better arranged, more o..
Derby or clearly camp would be difficult tc
conceive of. The tents are new and substan.
| tial, and many Of them of exceptionally
handsome and attractive appearance. The
Westinghouse tent is very large, and almost
equal in comfort to many of the permanently
constructed houses of worship. What it
lacks in cushioned pews it gains in ventila
ton ; what it lacks in exclusiveness it makes
up in its democratic spirit; what it loses in
architectural finish it compensates for in It's
homely freedom, and inviting and welcoming
character. A model lodging house, called
The Pilgrims Bower, is curiosity in it;
way, and device full of suggestions for out
door gatherings of like character. The
book-house is well stocked, and the
clerk in attendance appears to be doing
an excellent business disposing of works
expository of the doctrines of Seventh
Day Adyentism. AT different points on the
grounds are gentlemanly, quiet and undemon-
swer respectful questions. Several of them
wear Deputy Sheriffs' badges, and are pledges
for the good order observed. The class OF
people from abroad attending at this camp
forms u subject of much remark. They are,
with scarcely an exception, people of such
bearing as to command respact. Neat, quiet,
and apparently well-to-do in life, they have
the manner of people who are earnest and
fearless and who are not to be trified with
by any who would seek to disturb the re-
markabie quiet and perfect decorum which
distinguishes the camp There will be preach
ing at the camp to-day at 1890 A. NJ. and 2:3C
and 7:S0 P. NJ. Outside of the interest aroused
by the devotional exercises, the vigorous
preaching and the spirited singing, the camp
itself, nestled beneath the bronzsd foliage OF
autumn, with its inviting streets and its air
of retirement, its restful spirit and its at
mosphere Of home and hospitality, make il
the place Of all others hereabouts just now
for afternoon and evening visits.

commissioned officers of the First Artillery

half of Company G, presented him with a
costly field officers sword, with steel scabbard
and gold bands and ornaments, and with a

in and spread table for them, but they had
brought refreshments with them in variety,
and at this point produced them. A pleasing
