Last Day of the urb,na Camp Meeting
Immense Crowds in Attendance


Immense Crowds in Attendance.
The Urbana Camp Meeting never had a
more successful day than yesterday in all its
past history. The COS, | weather and almost
total absence OF dust, combined with the fact
that 1t was Sunday and the last day of the
meeting, served TO attract an immense crowd
of people to the grounds, and the narrow
avenues were jammod with people, while the
space with mt the circle Of cottsg was solid
mass OF carriages. As is usual on the last
day the services were of very interesting
nature. The regular prayer meeting was
held at five o'clock and at eight they
again gathered in the tabernacle to par
ticipite in the love feast, which was
conducted with much soul-inspiring en-
thusiasm and was productive of very satis'ac.
tory results. At the regular ten o'clock SER
vice DR.. William Runyan, Of Xenia, preached
an eloquent sermon. The tabernacle was
packed TO its fullest capacity with dense
crowd of eager listeners standing about the
edges Of the house. At the same hour an
ing hall, attended by over 900 people, was
conducted by Rev. William |. Fee and G. W.
Thompson, OF New Jersey, a famous young
evangelist. Rrv. Sam Jones, the great re-
y,valist wh> has done such noble work at
Louisville and Cincinnati was expected to
preach yesterday but was detained by other
duties, much to the disappointment OF many
who bad gone to the grounds for the purpose
OF hearing him.
AT 30 p. ma very enthusiastic chill
dren's me- ting, conducted by Rev. g. F.
Oliver, Of Burton, o.. WAS held in the taber-
nacc. As this was the last children's meet
ing to be held, it closed with general hand
shaking throughout the house. At 3 o'clock
Or. Leonard Of this city, preached in the
tabernacle and attracted the largest audience
Of the day by his fiery sloqnence. At 4:3O a
young peoples meeting was held in the
tabernacle, while the older ones gathered for
the same purpose Mt the prayer tent. At the
same time another large meeting, conducted
BY G. W. Thompson and J. G. Talbot, Of
CrbGna, was held al the stand below. At six
O'Clock detachment of the salvation army
i'om this city conducted well
attcn 'ei meeting at his same stand. The
last services Of the day were held at the
Tabernacle at 80, where Rev. DR.. W. NJ.
MneulleniS, Of Columbus, preached one Ct his
first sermons. Throughout the whole day
the meetings were crowded and still the
crowd on the avenues Kept increasing as car
riage after carriage from urbana, West Lib
erty, Springfield, and other neighborng
towns poured in and unloaded their human
eitht on the grounds. 1t seemed as though
everybody within n circle of ten miles had
closed their house, donned their Sunday
best, and came 10 camp meeting. The roads
centerng at the gioulds could be marked
for miles by the lines Of rising dust, kept
up by perfect procession Of vehicles goir &
and coming. Among the Springfield people
