tinued up tn the time of preaching.

The evening trains brought out many to the
ground while some of the tenters vino do not
ike the hustle of "breaking up soon as they
were through tea left for home. Some of the
lady tenters made an excursion to the House of
Correction, and were taken in and shown the
beauties of Bridewell.
In the evening the congregation overfowed
the tabernacle, and 1t was probably the most
orderly and attentive assembly of any yet

Bates, OF West Washington. IL was in the
nature OF an eXhortatiOn to Christians we'll
as sinners. Seven or eight penitents presented

sentiment Is in favor of two months recrea-

impetus given at this meeting little doubt is
