WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP MEETING. !
montgomery Co., Md, August Is, 1881.
The quiet Of to-day seemed unusual in con-
trast with the excitement of yesterday The
morning trains brought but few visitors to the
grounds, while from the surrounding country
scarcely dozen vehicles came. The day was
principally spent in social visiting and gossip,
between the different services. The cottage Of
Messrs. Ireland, of Annapolis, and Hiss, of Balt-
more, however seems to be kind of headquar-
tiers, and here the visitor always meets with a
hearty welcome, and on days when visitors to
the grounds are plentiful, their cottage is filed
from the time the train arrives until it departs
In the evening. large meeting tent. 2Ox3O,
has been erected on Sixth avenue and will he
used hereafter for meetings for the young peo-
pie.
ANOTHER CHRISTENING

rang for preaching. The child was the son of
VIM. o. and Ruth Ann Saffell, of the county.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev. DR..
Laney, of Gorsuch chapel and the name given
the little one was Charles William.
MONDAYS SERVICES.

led by Vim. r. Woodward of Wesley chapel. At
1890 the Rev DR.. Lanahan preached an i'm
presstve sermon from Hebrews, chap. vi. v. 1.

or retrogressive. At 9 o'clock r. m a children's
meeting was held in the tabernacle and was led

and was enjoyed by all present.

prayers in the large meeting tent. Tomorrow
morning this meeting will be in charge of the
