wArERv1LIr CAmrenouND, Aug. 26


The morning dawned cool, fresh and beauti-
full, giving new inspiration and life to all.
At the ringing of the bell the people assem-
bled in the large tent and listened to a thrill
ing appeal written by Mrs. James White, to
be read at the campmeetings. 1t presented
warnings and instructions, which the writer.
being absent in person, felt urged to give the
church. Mrs. Whites influence over this peo-
pie is very great, and her counsels and reproofs
seem to breathe a Christian spirit, which, if
needed, would ennoble and elevate, rather than
lower and degrade.
This day being observed as the Sabbath, the
utmost quiet reigns in the camp, making one
think of the time when:
Ger all the earth in days of old,
A holy calm there fell
A world at rest A Sabbath blest!
Its glory who can tell?
At9 a. H. a mammoth Sabbath school con-
vened in the grove. The exercises were con-
Quoted with great order and system, and the
sparkling eyes OF the children evinced an in
terest we'll pleasing to their teachers. The
general exercises were noticeable feature; the
main points of the lesson being brought prom
inently before mind and impressive instruction
given.
Your reporter overheard an outsider make
the following remark: "These Adventsts
proUe every statement they make"
At 1880 a. IN. public services were opened
with prayer by Elder Stratton. The congre-
CATION united in singing, Broad is the road
that leads to dsath,'' and then Elder Burrill
gave short discourse flom the words, "4e
shall know them by their fruits" The change
that follows conversion was described, and the
danger Of being deceived and having false
hope dwes upon.
The daily exhibition of our lives in little
things is the fruit We show to the world. When
the Judgment opens many that say Lord,
Lord" will. find their houses built upon the
sands. If hearts are right then the actions
will be pure and the words true; honesty will
be manifested in business, the desire to get the
best end of the bargain will be taken from us
and God be all in all.
We can obtain grace by often retiring and
seeking God in secret prayer. 1t will require
an effort on our part, constant, untiri ng ef-
fort to stem the current Of worldliness bearing
SO many down to ruin. II we continue to
grieve Gods spirit our hearts will become as
dry as stone and as hard as flint. We must
give up all for Christ, not in words simply, but
in deeds. The nearer we get to the light OF
Heaven, the more clearly we will see our own
imperfections. The motto of our hearts should
be Canaan and not Egypt. God requires our
hearts best affections, and there is pleasure
in Gods service that far exceeds the heeting
joys of earth.
After the sermon, Prof. Stone sang "Noth-
ing but leaves" in manner that brought
tears to many eyes, and melted many neartS
to tenderness.
The attendance thus far has been large, and
a crowd is expected tomorrow.
