The Moundsville camp meeting yester'
day was exceedingly quiet, and as they
near the close Of the meeting the jewellers
in tents are arranging their household
matters preparatory to returning to their
homes, The meeting will close tonight,
and on Friday morning many will Arab
like fold up their tents and go away,
The day was delightful one in camp,
A cool breeze stirred all day, and every
body felt very comfortable, while last
night light wraps were brought out and
were decidedly useful to those who were
outdoors,
During this entire meeting the clerk Of
the weather smiled graCiously on the peo-
Pile. Not for years has less rain fallen,
and tho meetings have not been disturbed
by any unpleasant weather, The roads
leading to the encampment, as well as the
avenues, are beginning to get dusty, and
unless there isr ain soon they will be dis
agreeable 10 travel,
The gentlemRnly secretary OF the asso'
citation, II, T. MCGregor, informed re.
porter last night that the receipts from all
sources this year would be near $500, OF
which amount at least s., 900 were received
from tho gates, Comparing the receipts
from the gates with last year, they are
more than double, as less than 81 900 was
received last year.
The association still owes about 81, 900
on the ground that is 10 be paid IN eleven
annual payments. These payments are
provided Tor in the annual amounts paid
by each lot owner,
Each annual meeting that Is held re-
quires great deal Of money 10 pay tho
expenses incidental to camp meeting,
They cannot be run without money,
which Is chiefly raised by an admission
fee. There is an indebtedness OF about
81 900 that was carried over from last year,
The receipts will be sufficient 10 pay the
expense Of the meeting and leave sur.
plus oil at least $500 to be applied on the
standing debt. This will leave the asso-
citation in pretty good shape to begin the
fiscal year OF 1887.
The Board have made levy OF 90 per.
cont on the value OF each lot, for improve.
ment purposes. 1t Is intended to set out
at least 800 trees throughout the ground,
The meeting in the Tabernacle at s A. M,
was presided over by Mrs, Robinson. the
attendance was not large, but what II
lacked numerically was more than bal.
anced by the spiritual power that seemed
to prevail.
At 1890 Mrs. Robinson conducted the
services at the auditorium, preaching from
the words, "If Christ shall make me free,
shall ba free indeed" A short altar SER
vice followed the discourse.
At 2 p. NJ. Mrs. Robinson conducted a
meeting rather out Of the usual line here,
She extended an invitation to anyone
present to ask her questions on any reli.
giOus subject, and she would endeavor TO
satisfactorily reply. Among tho many
questions the following are few;
"Will q justified soul got to heaVen?"
"What is meant by full Salvation?"
"At tho time OF conversion arc all the
graceB supplied 10 the heart at the same
time2"
care there two separate blesslngs2"
theological, but in plain, experimental
manner.
Mrs. Robinson left the auditorium at
the ringing Of the bell at4 p. NJ, and pro-
Ceediug to the tabernacle, conducted the
young peoples meeting. This service
was, as have been all OF her meetings, full
ofinterest.
Last night, beginning at Go'Clo,k, quite
a number Of cottage prayer meetings were
held throughout the camp. Owing to the
arduous labors OF tho day, Mrs. Robinson
was not ablo to conduct the 1850 p. NJ.
services. Accordingly Rev. Spencer King,
Of Wesley Chapel, great favorite of all
here, preached one Of his best sermons,
and was listened to very attGntively.
Elder Hite followed In an earnest exhorta.
ton, at the close OF which two persons
knelt at the altar for prayers. After
short altar service and the announCemen
for the meetings to-day the meeting was
dismissed.
