Sptcidi Letter.
JACKSON GROVE CAMP, Aug. 10.-Last
evenings services were characterized by a
greater religious fervor than any previous
meeting. As announced, Rev. j. r. Nichols
preached the sermon. His words were earn
est and thoughtful, and deep impression
was made upon the audience, the evidence of
which was shown by several pcnitents COM
ing forward to the altar during the invitation
hymn. This morning slight rain fell which
was quite refreshing after so many days of
warm, dry weather The sun came out again
about 10 o'clock and the services of the day
were attented by about the usual number.
Rev. II. Scott Morris led the morning
prayers.
Rev. @. II, Littleton conducted the expert
ence meeting at o'clock o. M.
DIR. j. l.. Mills preached the morning SER
mon from Matt. xvi, II and Is. His theme
was "the foundation of tho church." He
proved from the scripture authority that
Peter occupied no pre-eminent position among
the apostles He based upon the fact that the
Bible recognizes no such position, that
Peter himself was conscious of no such pre-
eminenc6. He then proceeded to give the
true foundation of the church, which is
Christ Jesus working in the heart of man.
This work depends upon revelation, belief,
and open confession with the lips.
Prof. ii. @. Cushing preached this afternoon
from Acts, chap. Xxx, verse 35, upon which he
based discourse urging tho Importance to
the Christian of a liberal soul, not withhold
ing from God that which is due Him.
The regular young peoples meeting was
conducted in their tent
