A Correspondents Experiences at Mounds
willie Tented Field.
This beautiful Sabbath morning we con-
cluded to pay visit to the Moundsville
Camp Ground, arriving in time for the 3
o'clock general class meeting. There was
quite an audience in the Tabernacle. A
large number of persons gave in their ex'
perience, SINE as bright testimonies as we
ever heard. At lOl o'clock the Rev. Samuel
King preached from Isaiah Xviii chapter,
and the 18th verse 20, that thou hadst
hearkened to my commandments then had
thy peace been as river, and thy righteous
ness as the waves Of the sea" The lead
ing features were:
lst. The moral government OF God.
3D. The result of obedience to the law
of God.
The reverend gentleman's sermon was
quite an interesting discourse and listened to
with marked attention The loud Amens are
a noticeable feature of the meeting. At 2
o'clock the Sunday school was held as usual,
with about two hundred and fifty present.
The Rev. ". P. Rippey explained the les
son of Absolom's rebellion with happy
effect After the Sunday school we wan

an ornament to the place. As some little
boys remarked, "Its daisy" John Schal-
base is managing it to the satisfaction OF
the boarders.
