Another Day Of Successful Services Great
Interest and Many OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of
the Camp Meeting-BIographioaI
Monday morning services set in with no
decline in the vigor and interest of the meeting
at Red Rock. While the Sundays crowd had
gone, multitude is still on the ground for
the season. The meeting this morning at $50
was led by Rev. D. j. Higgins in prayer tent
No. 1, and was a prayer and experience
meeting of absorbing interest. A number
stood to indicate their desire for the prayers of
Christian people. Earnest prayer, song and
experience occupied the honr and a half. Rev.
Higgins is a man of broad experience
in this work. At $50 a. m. Il. j. Crist
conducted service most interesting in many
particulars. A number of intelligent gentle
men from Minneapolis, among whom were
Messrs. j. W. Tousley, G. Sand and others,
spoke to the people, producing profound
impression, following which the superinten-
dent, Mr.. Cobb, called for those who desired a
blessing to come deliberately and kneel at the
altar. About sixty persons came, among
whom were men and women of all classes and
from all occupations, and from all parts of
the state. The real work seemed to begin in
this meeting, and genuine shouts OF victory
were heard from all quarters.
ReY. j. NJ. Rogers, of Ashton, D. T., gave
an interesting account of the work in the
valley of the James river. The brain and
sinew of old eastern churches-but no drones
were filling the country. he had organized
four churches within the past eight months.
He had come to Minneapolis for the purpose
of purchasing lumber for the church in
Ashton. The Church Executive society had
made loan and q donation, with a subscrip-
ton of $500 from citizens of the place.
He said that if any desired to take any stock
in the enterprise he would act as agent. I'm
mediately voluntary and spontaneous Offer
ing of $3.50 was laid upon the stand without
the solicitation of any one. This free will
offering proved the sincerity of the shouts of
hallelujah!
AT 1890.
Rev, J. Walton, four years a missionary to
the Indians 1000 miles northwest Of st. Paul,
preached most effective sermon from "What
must do to be saved?" The speaker, by his
labors among the Indians, has learned to speak
in the most direct and impressive manner.
The meeting at 1:30 in the afternoon was
conducted by Rev. B. F. Kephart, with the
assistance of several eminent ladies. While
these meetings are osteRsibly for children, the
older people come in crowds and take deep
interest.
Rev. VIM. How delighted the audience with
q sermon from the text, Zone thing know,
that whereas was born blind, now see."
Before the sermon the following resolutions
were passed with enthusiasm:
s'To the Temperance Voters of the State of
Iowa. Greeting:''
WHEREAS, The citizens of Iowa will ratify
or reject the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution of that state prohibiting the traffic in
alcoholic liquors, and
WHEREAS, The issue involved is one of pro-
found importance not only to that great COM
monwith whose prosperity we rejoice,
but also to the cause everywhere; therefore,
the Methodist Episcopal church, assembled at
the state camp meeting at Red Rock, hereby
express our hearty sympathy with the bet
ter class of citizens of that state in their most
righteous warfare against the legalized traffic.
RESOLVED, That we will devote the services
beginning at $50 a. m. Tomorrow for the
blessing Of almighty God upon them.
ResoIued, That we pledge our most earnest
efforts to place our own state by the side of
all others which have adopted, or shall adopt
similar amendments.
After quiet was restored Mr.. How said:
s.This young man had in his conscience ex.
perienced conclusive proof both of the Savior's
divinity and of his own personal heating.
Just SO every one having religious expert
ence is the best interpreter of such experience.
One man cannot take medicine for another,
so can no man judge of another's religious
experience.
Mr.. How is of a fine personal appearance,
and is gentleman of high standing in the
West Wisconsin conference.
AT $50
the prayer meeting in prayer tent No. was
season of the deepest interest. The tent
was crowded to its utmost capacity, notwith-
standing the necessary WEAKNESS OF the peo-
pie, resulting from the excessive labors dur
ing the very warm day. Great expectations
were expressed for the results of the evening,
and most earnest prayers were offered In
faith that the efforts Of the evening might be
crowned with success.
The young peoples meeting at $50 was
highly interesting. Some of the young PEG.
pie are being awakened and converted. This
meeting is being conducted by the students
of Hamline university.
EVENING MEETING.
A large congregation assembled at an early
hour manifesting eager interest in the very
opening exercises.
Mr.. Harrison led in prayer and took for his
subject, sit is time to seek the Lord"
The call was made and large company
came forward, many protesting to be saved
from sin.
The meetings are to last week yet and will
no doubt have marked effect upon the his
tory of MethOdism In Minnesota.
