A SUCCESSFUL CAMP.
The board OF trustees received many congrat-
ulations upon the success of the camp. Al
though the number of con versions reported was
not so great as in years past, yet, as Pre-
siding Elder Riley said Tonight the success
OF a camp meeting Is not to be adjudged by the
number of converts alone, but by the spiritual
refreshing of the church." A summary of the
Iortnights services is follows: Sermons
preached, %; addresses delivered, 8; CONVEX
sions reported, Is. The daily attendance upon
the services, although not quite large as in
former years, excepting last Sabbath's throng
and temperance day, yet such perfect order was
amply repaid. There have been but two arrests
within the two weeks, one having been made
this afternoon Bub Trail was before Justice
Warfield. charged with disorderiy conduct and
fined 81 and costs.
At Ills p. IN. the tabernacle bell rang out a
closing knell, but it was after midnight before
silence reigned, for merry groups to be
seen and heard clustered before the various
tents and cottages, 10th to say the last good
night Ihe Grove Is ii glorious place to spend
holiday. Its dushy, leaIy aisles OF oak and
chestnut,th tangled depths OF tern and bracken,
added to this bohemian life OF freedom and
friendly intercourse make life here very lovely.
