sabbath Notes.
The Sabbath day at Camp Bend was
commenced yesterday morning cloudy and
sool The morning gun aroused the camp
at the usual hour and in the guard house
twelve men were found. A most rigid guard
had been placed in and around the camp
after II o'clock the night before. The pro-
voSt guard after a trip around town for up
wards of an hour did not find but one or
two who were not out on permission, as
warning had been given the stfagglers and
they hied themselves to some secluded spot
until the guard had returned to camp. Then
after midnight they made an attempt to run
the guard, but were most beautifully fooled,
for guards had been placed all over the
camp and if a man succeeded in running
the outline he was sure to be stopped by
some concealed guard. In several instances
the midnight guard-runner succeeded III
reaching his quarters only to be taken in
while in the act of disrobing. The conse-
quence was, a sufficient number to do pO-
lice work and the camp was cleaned up an
at early hour Before breakfast the band
and a detail of singers from each company
met at the chaplain'S quarters to rehearse
the singing for the Divine service. Guard
mount was held at the usual hour and the
benefit Of the meeting of the first sergeants
Saturday was made apparent in the uniform
manner in which each detail took its place
In line.
CHURCH CALL.
At $50 church call was sounded, and q
goodly number of the regiment with num-
Der of visitors responded and placed them
IN, of arfnr Ns-llprn a
pulpit of drums had been erected for the
chaplain. After singing, and responsive
service, Chaplain Gilbert took for his text
the words from the Lords prayer: ''Hal-
lowed be Thy name" He began by saying,
mo one can say that the present age is in
any danger of being too reverential. The
drift is quite in the other direction, and the
tendency is fraught with peril to these facts
which lie at the base of order and law"
He spoke of the reverence due the Divine
Ruler, and the good influence of the church
and human government from the beginning,
and said that anything that tends to loosen
the ties which bind men to God at the same
time loosens the ties which bind them TO law
OH earth. He was very earnest in his re-
marks, and sought to impress upon his
hearers that the petition ''HallOwed be Thy
name" carried with it deep bless
ings to the state, to society and
to individuals. He noticed the irreverence
made too prominent by profanity. How a
person who claimed to be a gentleman could
StOOp to adopt the language of SlumS he
conld not understand. He said that the
First regiment was the leading one in the
state in discipline, and he very much desired
that it should become fully reverential and
hold the name of God with the reverence
due it. His remarks were brief, but con-
tanned much good advise and sound teach
ing on the too prevalent habit of profanity,
At the close of these remarks mass was
said at the headquarters of the Emmett
Light artillery, conducted by Father
Stanley. The camp was exceedingly quiet
during the afternoon, most of those who
were not on duty either taking to the lake
or lying around their quarters.
AN INSPECTION.
At noon the company cook tents were
Inspected by Commanding Sergeant Robin
son and found to be in excellent condition.
He said to GLOBE representative that
Company X produced the cleanest and
neatest of them all. Company ID, he said,
would have been as good had its ice chest
been arranged as neatly. The crowd of
visitors from st. Paul, Saltwater and Min
neapols yesterday was something great.
The afternoon trains We're crowded to over
flowing. At $50 the company quarters
Were inspected and found to be in good
order. The members of the several COM
panes take great pride in keeping their
quarters in good shape. Dress parade was
given as usual in the evening with a large
number of spectators. This was followed
by guard mount and a quiet night To-day
is governors day, and he, with his staff, will
be at camp most of the time. His excel
1pnov will iOcOact tho frOonc and ofta,,d a
dress parade when he will present the
badges to the winning sharp-shooters and
marksmen. He, with his escort, will be
met at the depot with carriages and escorted
TO the camp.
just before inspection a rather severe
rain and wind set III, which threatened to
delay the work, but it ceased as quickly
almost as it began, and the proceedings
progressed as intended. There was a large
crowd of visitors on the ground at the time,
who were driven into the tents of the sew
eral companies for shelter, and were given
the hospitality of each. The inspection
was made by Lieut.. Col. Lawson, and the
reports show about 430 in line. Besides
these there were a number on guard. and
one or two indisposed, and the whole will
amount to over 500.
