Shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost Is
come upon you; ana We shall be witness unto me,
both Ia Jerusalem, and In Judea, and in Slmaria,
AMI unto the uttermost parts OF the EARTH" The
sermon was one OF great power, and a deep reli-
gious feeling was manifested. In fact. 1t was more
like an ol;i-ashioned Methodist meeting, the joy
ful cries OF "HaeluJah land "Glory to God!" being
heard all over the tabernacle. On an invitation

was preached at 7:45 O'Clock by that great camp

.'Theae shall make war with the Lamb, and the
Lamb shall overcome them; for he Is the Lord OF
lords and the King OF kings; ana they that are
with Him are called. and chosen and faithful"
The theme of the sermon was the victory Of the
Lamb over his enemies. He described, wildly, the
victory of God over sin and hell, urging
upon all the necessity OF enlSting under
the banner OF the Lord Jesus Christ, and
OF fleeing from the wrath Of God, for
each soul in his presence, either by love or by
wrath. In closing, he made one OF the strongest
appeals to the unconverted ever heard at this camp
ground.at the close of which he invited all that
wanted to be on the side OF love, peace and God
come forward. large number went forward,
three OF whom were converted.
very large audience attended the last meeting,
and good feeling prevailed. The total number
OF conversions during the camp is seventy-hve.
FEW POLITICIANS
were on the grounds this afternoon-not with an
Idea, SO far as could be Judged OF being spiritually
benefited by the meetings, but to seek out and
secure votes at the primaries which come off next
month. IL the Christians that attend camp would
take lessons from some OF the politicians and imi
voter until, from sheer exhaustion, he promises
TO do anything they say, the number Of converts
might be Swelled Immensely.
