Them some Interesting Services,


Rev. Sam Small did not "show up" at
yesterday, but last evening
Rev. George 4, Hits received a telegram
from Sam Jones at urbaus, wherein he
promises to DO on the MoundsVille camp
ground this evening. The only explains
ton made in the telegram in regard to
smalls absence Is that RsV, Hite, in a
late telegram, did not name Small. So
they drew the inference that he was not
needed, a peculiar construction, when 1t
is considered that there was q definite ar
raDgement between the two sams and the
Association that Small was to come Tues
day, the 18th, and remain until the Goth,
at which time Jones was to come,
The explanation in regard TO the tele'

abouts OF Small, to which Mis-, Mullenix

lug, Hence the Misunderstanding,
The failure Of Mr., Small to appear
caused OF course great wonder az well as
considerable Indignation at Moundsvllle,
and to q leFs extent in the city.
THE TWO SANS AT uRBANA,
Under the head, "Doing the Camps
The Small. Jones Combination at Urbana,"
the Cincinnati EaQuirer Of yesterday
has the following, which may throw some
light on the situation: "The arrival OF
the two great Sans, Jones and Small this
morniSg, accompanied by the singers,
Maxwell and Elwell, created considerable
sensation. Ca their arrival in UrbAna,
word was sent to the camp meeting

spread like wildtire, throwing the camp
into great excitement. In charge Of RsV.
Frank Mitchell the Quartetto was convey

with q hearty reception by the great
masses, who were 60 anxious to catch
their first glimpse oil the great dlvines.
SmalIs engagement was for the last hall OF
this week, but owing to Jones being near

above, Cam0 to hand.
The second day OF the camp meeting
was attended with groat deal OF quiet
nesg, on tho part Of both Faint and sinner.
The announcement by Presiding Elder
HitU, at the close OF the services on Tues
day night, that from all that could be
learned relative 10 the whereabouts of
Sam Small, the probabilities wore that he
would be here to conduct the service at
10 80 A. NJ. yesterday, had the effect Of
soothing tho rulIled feelings OF every
body and all retired in anticipation that
with the coming OF the morrow would
come the noted "Sam" From the arrival
81 the first train until the last train last
evening, the eager eyes that have been
watching for iorty-eight hours TO announce
his arrival were doomed to continue look
ing. During the day rumors were thicker
than black birds, and many were the con-
lectures as to bis whereabouts. When a
rumor favorable to his coming was started
1t travelled like wildtire, and for time all
would DO serene and happy, but whom
this would DO followed by ono not go
cheerful then evidences OF dependency
could bO seen.
The service at the tabernacle at "a. NJ.
bore evidence that the brethren were in
earnest as to the spiritual success Of the
meeting. Rev.W. @. Riheldaier, Presiding
Elder Of the BuCkhannon district, occupied
the pulpit at the auditorium at 1880 A. N.
His discourse wGs attentively listened to
by large audience, and many very fat
tering comments were heard In reference
10 1t. The reverend gentleman took for
his text tho 10Th verse OF the 10th chapter
Of Matthew: "Thou art the Christ" AZ
ter discussing the circumstances that sug.
nsaut tad I'm In hn nm
know edgemont contained in the text sug-
gested the thought that Christ Is to be
universally acknowledged that angels,
devils and men are to acknowledge his
divinity, hiHkingship, his universal suprem-
aCy. He then discussed the text under
these three propositions:
~ All men should accept Christ as
their personal SAVIOR.
cyan men should have implicit faith
In Christ.
(3) All men should acknowledge him.
Each proposition was sustained by quo
talionB from the Old Testament and the
New, and many incidents were referred 10
connected with ChriSt's miniatry and cub
sequenL conluests Of his kingdom. The
whole dlsGodrse was elaborated and pre-
scented In pleasing, ioreefpl manner.
The suspense oil waiting and watching
for Small had tendency to divert the at
tention and destroy to some extent the de-
yotional spirit which should characterize
the people. Notwithstanding the embar-
