A Gala Day at Old orchard.

Today will be red letter day in the histo-
ry of Old Orchard. The grand out-of-doors
carnival is an assured success. The consoli-
dated military band concert by over one hun
bred musicians, including Chambers full
band, Lynn Brass Band, Haverhill band
and several others, will be a fine feature of
the days sport. The Jananese fire works
will be decidedly comical and cause. great
sport. The evening fire works will be one
of the finest displays ever exhibited in this
State. Fifty huge bonfres on three miles of
beach, close down to the waters edge will be
something grand to behold. This feature
was got up at the suggestion ofGeneral Man
ager James T. Furber of the Boston & Maine
Railroad. One cord of wood will be placed
on each fire. Every indication points to
successful day of sports and big crowd of
people. The illumination of the hotels,
stores and private residences will give the
beach gala appearance. Reference to ad-
vertisement will show that the Boston and
Maine will run plenty Of extra trains to and
from thp beach

SEVENTH DAY ADvENTIsTs.
Interesting Service Held Yesterday
at the Encampment on the Hill.

Yesterday morning a cool breeze swept
over sea and land. The tenters rejoieed in
the light of the sun but found winter cloth
ing quite comfortable.
An interesting business meeting was held
at O'Clock. The forenoon discourse was
given by Elder Farnsworth on the subject
of Conservation" from the text: But
know that the Lord hath set apart him that
is godly for himself, Ps. 4;3.
The following abstract will give the
reader some idea of the sermon:
.Sanctification is the first thought brought to
view by the words of the text. Every one who
accepts of Christ is set apart sanctifed by God
for his work. Christ Illustrates this by the figure
Of a yoke (Matt.. IL; 30 which is a symbol of
labor: The service Of God means weary feet and
tired hands, aching hearts and throbbing brows
Il demancs the strength and energy of the soul.
The man who is really consecrated to God will
possess a meek, humble, quiet spirit and that
spirit will never make him act ridiculous. Our
lives are not our own but have been bought with
price hence we should live to Gods glory.
The weather moderated as the day wore on
and in the afternoon was all that could be
desired. Quite large congregation gather
ed at $50 and listened to a sermon on "stead-
fastness," by Elder Van Horn from the text:
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye
steadfast, unmoveable, always Astounding In
the work of the Lord, forasmuch as We
know that your labor is not in vain in the
Lord The discourse was addressed prin-
cipally to the church. The speaker said:
Heaven would not accept them simply because
they bore the name of Seventh Day Adyentists
but that steadfast continuance in weli-doing was
the only passport into glory.
Church members who find it necessary to go for
ward for prayers whenever an invitation is given
were declared to be like a door on hinges forever
vaclllating to and fro. Gods people were COM
pared to a house built on rock, firm and immov-
able. The use of trials in the work of discipline
was referred TO and the church exhorted to seek
an elevated plane of Christian experience, where
peace and joy and growth in the divine life may be
felt in the soul.
The Tract and Missionary Society had a
meeting at o'clock and renewed the dis
cussion of plans for future labors.
Last evening Elder Farnsworth spoke
from the words: Repent We, therefore and
be converted" Acts 3; 10.
The speaker closed by referring to the
statement made by James that whatsoever
breaks one of the commandments is guilty
of ALL James Q; 10, and then applied the
principle to the fourth commandment which
says the seventh day of the week is the Sab
bath.
The audience were no doubt rather sur
prised at the turn given to the latter part of
the discourse.
Elder Geo. 1. Butler from Michigan is ex-
pected soon.

Carnival at Forest CITY Rink.

One of the largest audiences of the season
some 1000 people-were in attendance at
this favorite rink last evening" the attrac-
ton being grand costume carnival and an
exhibition of fancy skating by Prof. Smith
of Chicago. The boats from the,city in the
evening were crowded with people and long
before $50 o'clock the immense rink was
filled, every seat being occupied and stand
ing room at premium. The number of
costumes was much smaller than was anti
cpated; also about fifty participated but
very good procession was formed While
the costumes were not elegant yet there
were a number of very handsome ones. The
Lone Fisherman, the organ grinder and his
monkey, Uncle Jonathan and Prof. Young,
the wire artist, were good characters, while
the ladies' costumes were all very pretty and
some of them well gotten up. The commit
tee on prizes have decided on all but the
two prizes for the ladies' best burlesque
costumes. There being no burlesque
costumes worn by the ladies, the prizes will
be awarded to the two ladies wearing bur-
lesque costumes this evening. After the
grand march Mr.. Smith gave one of the
finest and most artistic exhibitions of roller
skating ever seen in this city. His ''dude''
personation is perfect, and he executes some
of the most difficult movements on roller
skates, which have to be seen to be appre-
ciated. His imitation of a beginner on
skates is laughable, and his falls are wonder
full Mr.. Smith will give another exhibition
this evening" and the carnival will close with
the awarding of prizes. A much larger
number of costumes will he present this
evening. The management of the rink de-
serve much credit for the 'smoothness with
which the programme was carried out. A
delightful band concert was given by the
rink band previous to the march and was
much enjoyed. Another large crowd will be
