Sabbath morning, and the weather continued
pleasant throughout the day. AS early as O'Clock
this morning folks began to arrive from the neigh

the time the excursion trains unoaded their human
freight there were fully 5000 people in the grove
Although the attendance has not been as large to-
day as Oh Sundays OF previous meetings, interest
and religious fervor were up to former occasions
