MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, July l9.-ThiS
afternoon the campmccting service con-
Quoted by DIR. Updcgralf, WAS specially for
the Young people and continued from 2:3O
to &. Many good testimonies were given.
The evening meeting was II never to
forgotten by those who had the privilege
of ENJOYING it.. Words cannot describe the
rapture that filled the hearts and ShOnc IN
the faces OF Gods people.
BY u rising vote DIR. Clark and MIR. Up
degraii were unanimously requested Ia re-
turn to this place next year, and to bring
Mr.. K. T.. Henderson and his two daugh-
tiers with them TO sing.
Then followed two hours Of farewell re-
marks and testimony, during which ut
least two hundred spoke. Then mt them
V~itatiun "a large number came to the altar
and within the next hour quite u number
protested to have received the peace that
pasSeth understanding.
We esteem 1t u great privilege To have
SIcnt the past ten days with those people Of
God and learned nj the feet nj these wise
men, of that higher Christian life which
they experience. Tuesday or Wednesday
the QuakeTs viii depart, leaving behind
them wOundrOus blessings in the hearts of
many happy men and women. God bless
these earnest, loving, Christian peOple''
will be the sentiment Ofall who have come
in contact with them. There are some fifty
ofthem here from u distance. God knows
many OF us who nave associated with them
will through their miniStratiOns, return to
our homes spiritually refreshed and newly
confirmed inthc faith. Again we say, God
bless the Friends, " and bring them to IL
every year with their chalicc of grace anu
blessing. May God 20 with them to their
homes to prosper and do them good all the
DAYS Oftheir lives.
1t is not out of place to mention here
that owing to his advanced ground in some
matters of doctrine and practice, especial
~ in reference to the ordinances, Is not ac-
ceptable to the body OF his church. He
deems it according TO Scripture to admin
iStcr and partake of the Lords supper and
does so, which is contrary, not TO the dis
cipline Of the Friends, for they have none,
but contrary to their tradition and custom.
There has for several years been a revolu-
ton working in this church on
this point, and of the revolution
Mr.. Updegraff is the exponent.
Moreover, nc does not follow the custom OF
holding silent meetings, but eNhOrts,
breaches and has an altar for seekers, as
the MethOdists DO. At the Yearly Meet
ing of the Friends in 1855 resolutions in
tended to restrict these innovations were
Il. II - ..Nnl l,,,p h- frfpln nAptpr-
itv. The address delivered by DIR. Upde-
graff i'm opposition to these resolutions is Il
powerful argument for greater h~berahty
and strict adherence to Scripture teaching.
When | have time it will be my pleasure
to review more fully this address for your
columns.
July 20.-TO-day q number of the
friends take an excursion to the various
points of interest about here. Mrs. Far
mum and DR.. Updegratf and family go to-
day to Luray Cavern.

A most pleasant ride and walk OF two

feet above the sea, from which can be seen
both Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
