August q, 1881.
Another grand morning greets the last day
Of oprcanpmeeting. All through theWeatheF
has beeR.oi the best. A shower would have
made 1t pleasanter by laying the dust, but
everyone has been good natured under the
inaicton. We saw many fOOlishly dressed
persons here, whose satins and yelvets would
never be what they once we're. But perhaps
they only came to show their clothes and arc
satisfied in having accomplished It,
The young peoples meeting last night was
again well attended, and the exercises showed
that some young persons have Remembered
their Creators in the days Of their YOUTH
At 1850 last evening Rev, Rogers preached
from Psalm II, !. This gentleman sustained
his reputation for earnestnesA He also man
aged to get in several good licks on temper
ances
This morning, as usual, good meeting
was held In the tabernacle, It Is wonderful
how many excellent sermons are preached
ut these meetings, The preachers may talk
elOquently Of the theory Of religion; they
may SxhOrt earnestly, but the simple truth
as expressed in the experience OF persOn
whose life corresponds with his profession
goes quicker to the heart than all the other,
Themeetlng this morning was led by Rev,
Ferguson.

he. noticed that the expenditures this year
exceeded the receipts, This was caused by
the purchase OF seats with backs, AMI other
improvements much needed and much to be
commended.
One ltemOf expenditure sounded strange,
Two men were hired 10 watch holes In tbs
fence through which persons were coming
To save o dime. Allow suggestion here:
A thousand dollars put In high fence would
pay for itself In a short time, II dpay to
borrow the money, We honestly believe,
The meetlngvOteda resolution recommend
ing the lease or purchase Ot the ground
composing the north east paTnOr ct the ell
closure, which Is now under lease also the
furnishing OF new private walks, and ahigll
closed fence.
