A WET DAY.
Dampness Thrown Over Red Rock
by the Shower Yesterday.

A D0mpneDs Thrown Over Red Rock
by the Shower Yesterday.
Early yesterday morning severe thunder
storm visited the grounds, continuing for
about two hours, during which time great
quantity of rain fell. The weather con-
tinued more or less threatening during the
forenoon. At noon the clouds rolled away
and fiery old Sol showed forth his burning
face. Had it not been for a slight breeze
the heat would hare been exceedingly OPP
pressive. The new feature in the meetings
eXcites considerable discussion. Some are
inclined to give the subject serious consid-
GRAFTON, and many profess to have received
the second blessing, full specification.
THE EXERCISES.
In consequence of the rain the o'clock
and o'clock prayer meetings were but
sparsely attended At 10 o'clock a. IN. the
sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr.. Gill
of Barton. He took his text from Luke
xiv, 44-49 inclusive. He said: We can
know the Divine ideal, and it is of the ut
most Importance that we grasp it. The
first coming of Christ was that of suffering
and death. The second coming will be
that of grandeur, glory and power. The
church has but one mission, and that is to
preach repentance and remission of sins.
We should not NEEDLE with worldly things
Christians should keep out Of politics. Did
you ever know Christian to go to Wash
ington without getting smutted? l never
did.
The greatest weakness Of the human soul
is inbred sin. We can not worship God
while we are possessed of it, but if we are
free from it nothing can overcome us in
working for him.
At o'clock the sermon was preached by
Rev. J. A. Wood. He took as his text:
''If we confess our sin He is faithful and
just 20 forgive us our sin, and to cleanse
us from all unrighteousness." The speaker
dwelt at length upon the idea of no growth
into grace, i. e., sanctifcatiOn. The change
must be accomplished at once. The first
blessing cannot be educated into second
blessing. The idea Of education is to lead
out. If there is nothing to be led out educa-
ton cannot take place. There are many
ministers preaching the gospel who have
never been converted. What we want is
full salvation, and we want it now.
THE EVENING MEETING.
The sermon in the evening was preached
by Rev. Dr.. Hobart, who was pioneer in
Minnesota ministry. He took for his text,
'tCreate within me pure heart and renew
bright spirit within me-" The judgment
of the father is well worthy of attention
and the true appeal on all religious subjects
to the Bible. A person accepted of God
has something more than the first blessing
coming from pardon. No Christian will
allow excess in his appetite; one vino does
is disgrace to himself, to his country and
to his God. If man can break one COM
mandment of God he can with equal i'm
punity break all. We should not
be tale bearers. 1t is as bad
to hear SANDER as to vend it.
The will is respondent faculty. If it is
rightly exercised it will lead him into glory
and light. Christians are firm amidst temp
tation. Give yourself the benefit of every
doubt. Keep your Imagination pure. The
imagination is the devils workshop. Let
nothing come into your hearts but what is
pure, right, holy and good.

cigtion at 2 p. m. the following directors

day, when they will proceed to elect Off
GERS of the board. A letter was read by

ifornia. Mr.. Cobb was for many years
president of the State Camp Meeting asso-
citation, and conducted the services. He is
at present in Southern California, in the en-
joyment of good health. He expressed his
sympathy and good wishes for the Red
Rock meeting.
