RED ROCK REJOIOINGS.

The Camp Meeting Begun With VjgOr--
Earnest Sermons Followed by Many
Conversions-Revs. Bowles, Hobart and
Harrison Take the Lead-Bi0graph1ca'
Persons not on the camp ground would
naturally suppose the heavy rain of yesterday
morning would greatly discomfort things, but
not SO. The association have procured the
best of tents and cottages and all kept COM
Portable and dry. The morning meeting at Z
o'clock was led by Rev. Fl. j. Crist and was
not only well attended but full of interest.
The services at 1890 were led by DR.. Mar
shall. The singing was characterized by great
vigor and earnestness. Rev. Kephart led in
prayer after which Rev. sias Bowles preached
q most interesting sermon from the text,
ssBring ye all the tithes into the storehouse
and prove me, saith the Lord of hosts,
if will not open the windows of
heaven and pour you out such a blessing"
etc. Mr.. BOwles said under the Mosaic law
everything was tangible and typical, every
sacrifice, every offering, pointed to something
beyond. Jesus Christ was the contamination
of all these types and symbols. He called
company of earnest, real men to preach his
gospel. These men had a schooling in expert
ence graduating at Pentecost, and ever after
preached an abundant salvation. So this text
is challenge to us to make ourselves a con-
secrated offering to God. We come here year
after year and pray for full conservation; are
we ready for it now?
Mr.. Bowles is man unto him
self, wholly distinct and unique in man
ner, and general favorite with all classes Of
hearers. After the sermon Mr.. Harrison
greatly aroused and inspired the audience by
one of his Enthusiastically earnest pleas for
oil r,rocopk RI ba nj f,1l1 cOnSpc
ton. Somehow Mr.. Harrison succeeded in
producing the most intense interest in all the
services, and the tide is rapidly rising.
AFTERNOON SERVICES.
At 8 o'clock the people gathered TO hear
sermon from DR.. Hobart from the text,
"For it is not vain thi ng for you, because it
said we always listen to the
words OF man with whom we
are well acquainted, of long experience and
goodness of character. The man who spoke
these words was such an one-Moses the man
of God.
lift was Israel's life to heed the commands
of God, it is also ours. In this world we live
together as people in Masses, as did Israel;
but when we get to the next we shall stand
or fall as individuals. Here followed most
searching discourse, which could not be
transferred to paper, on the matter of build
ing character and on the principles of virtue
that shall endure here and hereafter.
When Mr.. Hobart breaches thinking men
and women draw near.
Mr.. Harrison followed with special con-
secration service, during which the people
were deeply affected and the shouts of praise
and victory were heard on every hand. A
number came to the altar for prayers and were
converted, and the scene was wonderful.
EVENING MEETING.
Service was opened by singing the hymn
"BriDging in the sheaves,'' and prayer by
Rev. T. B. Killian. Mr.. Cobb stirred all
hearts by pathetic appeal to take high
ground in this great movement.
Mr.. Harrison then took the meeting into
his own hands and in few moments not less
than 100 men and women were kneeling at the
altar, some seeking clean heart and some
pardon, presenting scene not easily de-
scribed.
