Programme.

There were many happy faces on the ground
yesterday when the services first commenced.
The sun was obscured by the clouds, and indica-
tons pointed to pleasant and cool day. Further
developments, however, gave promise OF rain,
and the faces that but an hour before had been
beaming with pleasure were covered with frowns
Some unfavorable comment on the weather was
heard, and general feeling of disappointment
seemed to pervade the assembly The manager
of the grounds was the only one who seemed to
be at ease. He serenely investigated the clouds
which were forming, drew an unfavorable outlook
from them, and quietly inspected the ropes and
canvass of the pavilion.
The services of the day were opened by prayer
me citing at 6 O'Clock. At a. IN. the people
gathered at the stand for an experience meeting.
1t was here the shower of the morning caught
them, and the meeting was adjourned TO the pa
vilion. The number attending was much small
er than the number attending Wednesday.
At the close of the experience meeting DR..
Cobb, the superintendent of the meeting made
neat speech, thanking the people for their at
tendance and support. The gentleman spoke
in his happiest mood, and he thanked the direct
fors for the thorough arrangements they had
perfected, the officers for their valuable assist
once and courtesy, the manager of the ground
or his asssta nee, the members of the choir and
leader for their excellent music, the organist
for her untiring efforts and closed by thanking
the ministers present for their attendance and
services. Tine gentleman only stopped then be-
cause there were none left to thank. If any
class OF body of people had not been thanked
personally, he wished them to understand 1t was
a mistake of the head and not of the heart, and
they could consider themselves thanked formally,
informally and officially.
After Rev. ECobb had finished his address DIR.
Marshall desired to say a few words Rev. DR..
Cobb had come from the Pacific coast and had
labored earnestly for the cause. He suggested
that the people rise and sing the ''doxology'' in
token of their appreciation of his services de
had not been asked 10 make this suggestion and
he did it on his own responsibility. When the
gentleman had ceased speaking the congregation
sang the hymn suggested with a spirit and Will
that could not be otherwise than complimentary
TO Rev. Dr. Cobb, who thanked them for the
honor shown him.
c. D. Strong, president of the association,
stated that the directors had not yet decided
upon the programme for the next year, but they
contemplate holding two camp meetings, if pos
sible. One will be under the control of the Min
nesota conference, and will commence about
June IS, 1855, and continue for one week. The
other will be held under the auspices OF the Ma
tonal Camp Meeting association. 1t is not yet
decided whether there will be an interval be-
tween the TWO meetings or not. Due nOLlCe Will
be given of the dates.
The last sermon Of the meeting was delivered
by Rev. Mr.. Mckinley, of Red Wing. He took
for his subject ''Small Things" and preached
an interesting sermon upon their relations
to this life. His discourse was eouched in sim
pie and strong language, and he drew on an ap-
parently inexhaustable fund of anecdotes Of
prominent men to illustrate his points.
At the close of the sermon, the visiting minis
tiers who were still on the ground, some sixteen
in number, ranged themselves in front of the
platform, and the congregation, headed by the
aged Mr.. Strong, crme up to shake their hands
and bid them good bye and God speed on their
Journey. The entire congregation engaged in
singing parting hymn, some INDUCED in few
eears and others in hearty embrace; the bene
diction was pronounced, and the camp meeting
was thing Of the past
