OLD ORCHARD, July q.
One certainly seems nearer heaven for a day
at the holiness meeting. The inspiring music,
soft lights shimmering through the foliage, the
low murmur Of the blue esa, mingled with the
gentle whispering OF the pines, make fitting en-
vironment for the message of full sanctifica-
tion. There ia no noise or excitement Plenty
Of earnest conviction and urgent appeal, but
not the least attempt at anything sensational,
The services to-day have been attended by
larger congregations and the interest seems up-
tagging.
A number Of new arrivals are noticed upon
the platform. Among them the erect form
and silver hair of Rev. John Allen, who is
now attending his 135th camp-meeting.
Monday has been appointed as tho day Of
healing.
On tho afternoon Of that 3sy DR.. Cullis will
meet thcJe who desire healing by faith, at the
church. The morning will be devoted 10 testi-
monies from those who have received healing.
II the day proves stormy this meeting will be
postponed.
The weather is so delightful that nearly all
the meetings are held at the stand.
The full programme has been carried out tc-
day, with the addition Of an inquiry meeting
at . p. m, and ladies meeting at p. m. f.
w. McKenney, the evangelist, conducts the
former, Mrs Culis the latter.
The ladies' meetings are very interesting,
perfectly informal and full of helpful sugges-
tions to the wives and mothers burdened with
the weight OF their dear ones welfare.
The $50 a. N. conference meeting is always
in charge Of DR.. Cullis. Special requests are
received 101 we're read this morning. The
subject this morning was "Christ's knowledge
OF our wants does not do away with our need
Of prayer"
Rev. Charles Nichols Of Boston, preached at
1890. "For God SO loved the world that he
ga We his only begotten son, that whosoever be-
lieveth in him should not perish but have ever
lasting life. For God cent not his son into the
world to condemn the world but that the
world through him might be saved"
The afternoon prayer meeting was in charge
Of Rev. S. d. Mallory.
Mrs. Hannah Smith preached the afternoon
sermon. Mrs. Smith is fine looking lady,
with clear, strong voice. Her remarks were
listened to with the greatest interest. Being
Quaker, Mrs. Smith does not map out any reg
ular plan in her discourse, but speaks as
moved by the spirit
"Campmeeting john gave one OF his inter-
esting lectures in the evening" fall Of interest
ing "reminiscences and anecdotes of a long life
spent in the service.
DOWN AT THE BEACH.
Here all is hustle and excitement. The gcd-
dess Of pleasure is wooed and won, it seems, by
the gay throngs that drive, sail, swim and
walk. From the mammoth rink come sweet
strains of music. the click Of the polo players
sticks and the steady roll of the skates.
The restaurants are doing a thriving busi-
ness, and among the best Mrs. Lanes ranks.
Officer Whittier arrested man for non-pay-
ment Of his bills. The man asked permission
to get some money to settle the affair, and this
being granted he vanished. The officer took
the next train for Boston, hoping to find his
man there.
