The Monday After the sunday Of Camp
meeting-An Interesting Description


MoUSDsvILLE CAMP GROUND, August 21.-
This grove to-day presents about its usual
appearance. Ali ira ces of the great throng
in attendance here yesterday, except o
very large amount of dust in the more fire.
ouented avenues, have disappeared. A
brisk shower would be very acceptable, but
from present indications We will receive
no shower for quite while yet The ser
vices yesterday were all well attended and
unusual interest seemed to be taken in
them. particularly in the evening, when
Rev. Hite preached an excellent sermon.
The usual religious exercises are being con-
drcteu to-day, but a little less energy is
being put in the exercises by the good
brothers and sisters than is customary here,
probably because they have not yet fully
recovered from the extra efforts yesterday.
The order throughout the entire day
Yesterday, was excellent, the services of the
police not being required once. This GER
iainly speaES we'll both for the management
and the throng in attendance.
The services of to-day opened with the
regular PRAYER and experience meeting at 9
A. NJ, followed at 10 o clock by fine sermon
by Rev. Copeland, of the Zane street church
in your city, from the text, why will We
die" Children's meeting was held at l 80
o'clock. Several interesting letters from
absent parties were read, and collection
for missionary purposes taken up.
The Presiding Elder announced that ar
engagements were about perfected for
rraSd children's meeting, one day this
your CITY would be invited He also said
that from present indications the meeting
would be largely attended.
II has also been announced, that one day
OF this week, not yet positively determined,
to the cause OF temperance.
Rev. Excel preached a very effective
sermon at p. NJ, from the text Accord
ing to the glorious gospel OF the blessed
God. which was committed to my trust
|. Timothy, LIST chapter and llth verse;
Young peoples meeting was held as usual
GIN This is certainly the meeting Of the
day. and great in terest is always taken in
II by all. Rev. knight, of the Eastern Ohio
Conference, preached at 7:30 TO avery large
audience. The evening service Is now OF
unusual interest and are now prolonged be-
yond the usual time.
Rev. Battell, much to the regret OF his
many friends, has been unable, from Ill
health. to take any active part in the meet
ing He was very sick Yesterday and has
not improved much to-day All hope he
will be able TO preach before the meeting
closes.
Tomorrow will be election dav. Nine
teen directors are to be elected, and the
POLLS will be open for that purpose from
o'clock to 3. Great interest is felt as to the
result Of this election, as the new board will
have many important questions to decide.
Now is the time to talk and think, not af-
ter the election. Good men should be elect
ed, and particularly the ones whose views
are known and liked should be selected.
All the indication point to a very full vote.
Everything is moving along smoothly
and nicely as is usual here, and nothing Of
much Importance occurring.
To-day the bell in the preachers stand
was in some unaccOuntable manner cracked
and the unharmonious sound new emitted
by it is very unpleasant and not calculated
to summon very large attendance at wor
ship.
