The Red Rock Camp Nesting Doing Good
Work-Eigh,y-Two Persons Appealing
For Gods Grace at Once-Many CONVEX
sions-Biographical.
1t is simply impossible to put on paper the
enthusiasm at Red Rock, end especially so
yesterday morning over the news of the tenn
peraace victory in Iowa. At daylight the
GLOBE was on the ground and was taken up
as fast as they could be- handled. The bell
rang as if it were crazy, handkerchiefs were
flying, everybody was shaking hands and
hearty amens seemed TO be coming from every
tree on the encampment.
AT $50
a praise meeting ives conducted
by W. W. satterlee in which
not less than fifty persons quoted or read a
promise and the singing was vigorous.
Quite a number of clergymen from other
denominations were present and invited to
seats on the stand.
/, AT 1880
Robt. Smith, of st. Paul, preached, after Rev.
Mcdonald, of Dassell, had prayed, from Deut.
xxxii:S1. Mr.. Smith is well adapted to open air
preaching and always interests an audience.
Mr.. Morgan, of st. Paul. followed in an eff
fective exhortation, and prayer meeting fol-
lowed in which large number participated.
AFTERNOON.
At Il p. m. the usual children's meeting was
held at the main stand, led by Mrs. N. M.
Learned, Rev. VIM. Mckinley, of Winona.
opening with prayer, and band meeting to
organize for work was held at tent No. 1, by
the Hamline students.
AT2:3O
the audience gathered to hear sermon from
Rev. H. J. Crist, of Hastings. Rev. G. F.
Garvin, of Hamline, led in prayer and Mr..
Crist preached carefully prepared sermon
from the text, "And every man that hath this
hope in HIM puriieth himself, even as he is
pure"
The sermon was SO simple and transparent
as to produce marked effect. Mr.. Harrison,
during the day, brought up.the rear, shaking
things up right and left, q large number
coming forward to the altar for prayer.
The association held a business meeting in
the afternoon, IN which reports were made of
improvements and expenditures the past year,
and after appointing committee to nominate
trustees for another year, adjourned till next
Saturday Q p. m. Red Rock, as an institution,
is fixed fact, and this meeting inaugurates
new era OF prosperity.
EVENING SERVICE.
The pleasant weather was favorable to a
large audience, which gathered at an early
hour with eager expectation of what was to
come. The good order night after night and
day after day is noticeable to all. Not police
man or officer of any kind is on the ground,
nor is any needed. Such meeting could not
Re held in the East, but this progressive,
thinking people of Minnesota is governed by
good sense in all things. Rev. j. M. Bull, a
man who breaches on the upper Missouri
river to the wandering men there, held every
body as in spell for twenty minutes, when
Mr.. Harrison took the reins and drove
with whip and spur for a short
time when they came in numbers to the altar
begging for mercy. Many people have
brought their sons and daughters to this
meeting that they may be converted, and most
of them are not disappointed. The meeting
this evening was indeed remarkable, eighty
two persons knelt at the railing and prayed
for mercy, many of them realizing the pardon
of sin. This camp meeting undoubtedly grows
n interest daily.
