SATURDAY. i7t Camp.

Saturday IN Camp.
All day Saturday was beautiful on the
Assembly ground. Owing to its being ''the
preparation before the Sabbath" the at
tendance at the pavilion was not such as
the higher order of talents of the renowned
speakers were united to hear. But the
pastors and presiding elders were as rule
necessarily absent to attend to their Sab
bath work.
At IL o'clock after devotional exercises by
Rev. David Tice, of Minneapolis, Hon. H.
G. Henderson, of Marshalltown, Iowa, de-
livered grand discourse, arguing strong
ly in favor of prohibition. 1t is seldom
any audience hears such clear,
concise, and convincing presentation
of truth as this able advocate
of temperance presented in favor
of prohibition. Would that the thousands
in our cities, and throughout Minnesota
generally, could have heard his arguments
upon this subject.
No attempted report could do justice to
this address, nor the one that followed at
2:3O o'clock by the eloquent lady lawyer,
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, who has a reputation
in all the northwest or east. Mrs. Foster
struck out bodily for constitutional pro-
hibition. Her premises were carefully
taken and her arguments step by step so
carefully guarded, and her logic so in
vincible, that if she did not fully convince
all her auditors, she left opponents
like the good Irishman ''spachlessw
This talented lady will give another ad-
Sob of md ;e
hoped many will hear her that have not
been able to do so before. Hon. J. NJ.
Bech has also just arrived, and will either
speak at IL o'clock, a. M, or s p. m. He
is man of maturity, elegant in his per-
sonal appearance and will make a pro-
found impression upon bis audience. He
is another noble son of iowa, and one of
its honored judges. Great credit is due to
Rev. DR.. Smith, who is just now absent
from Mahtomedi during the Sabbath, for
talent for this first temperance
| convention. But it is, and will continue
to be a matter of deep regret, that these
eminent speakers have not had larger au-
| diences to address during these meetings.
Instead of a few hundred there should
have been the thousands. Of course the busy
season is upon US and the newness of this
| Mahtomedi enterprise, all combine to
| make the attendance smaller than it other
wise would have been. But all that come,
and see the nature and extent of the prep
arations, are pleased with the magnitude of
the enterprise.
Mahtomedi hotel is a success. Messrs.
Fisher & Green and Capt. Leip
with their courteous helpers, have
L.
taste they know just what is needed to
please their guests. We hardly know how
they can furnish so good fare for so mod
crate charges.
The Pavilion is also pronounced sue
cess. We have doubts if there is another
auditorium in the country that will please
speakers so we'll. When it is completed it
will be both ornamental and useful.
| Prof. Raymond and his singers are de-
voted and faithful, and Misses Davidson
and McClary render valuable service with
| their piano and organ.
| Taking it all in all, this weeks work at
Mahtomedi has been grand success for
temperance in Minnesota. So may the
good cause ever triumph.
| CAMP MEETING
at Mahtomedi will commence on Tuesday
evening, July II, and if the people can be
induced to leave their work and attend, no
doubt great and lasting good will be done.
Scores of ministera. have signiied their
purpose to attend. The presiding elders
throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin are
joining their hands in this good work, and
Rev. Edward Payson Hammond, the world
renowned evangelist, will be present
through all the meeting. God has
put great honor upon him in his
work of leading men to Christ.
We suggest to pastors to get your people
to come and tent and stay as long as you
can, and if you can do no better get them
to come and spend one day, at least, get
ting the benefit of this man of Gods ser
mons and instruction in their hearts. Get
up Excursions" on certain days and come
and you will be benefited spiritually and
financially.
Trains are now running at almost all
hours of the day on the Duluth railroad,
and low is the time to take the advantage
of opportunities that will never come again
to you.
Tents can be obtained, and parties
board themselves therein, or board at the
beautiful Mahtomedi hotel at S. per week
or board and lodging for 81 per week.
