WASHINGTON GRovE, Aug. 19.--Last
night the tabernaclewas the center OF attrac-
tion, the services being In charge Of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. Sing
ing birds, hanging baskets, and blooming
flowers adorned tbeplatform. The services
were rendered doubly interesting by the
presence Of the $. A. b., a company OF
young ladies from Fourth street, Washing
inRton, who rendered valuable assistance to
the choir, besides giving piece of their
own selection. The preachers were per-
mitted TO become part OF the audience,
while the Indies came to the front. Miss
Feltham, OF Albany, N. Y, sister TO Mrs.
Platt, sang a beautiful solo. Silence reigned
while her full, rich voice filed the audi
torium.
Last, but not least, on the programme
came DIR. Butler, who again held his au-
dience for over an hour narrating his expe-
rlepee In India. Truly Washington Grove
is blest In having so able q man 10 conduct
the services for whole day.
To-day dawned cool and delightful aud
the cars and vehicles brought the usual
crowd. At noon the woods presented the
appearance Of a large picnic, and, iudg-
ing from the looks OF the baskets, a large
portion OF the chickens In the neighborhood
came TO camp but not in a live state.
Notwithstanding the fatigue caused by
attending the many interesting services
yesterday, the early prayer meeting, under
the direction OF the presiding elder, was
well attended.
AT 1890 DIR. Asbury Kelley, brother of
the presiding elder, preached from the text
found In Psalms xxxvli, 3-9, "Trust in the
Lord, and do good, so shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verify thou shalt be fed. De-
light lhyself also in the Lord, and He shall
give thee the desires Of thine heart. Com
NIT thy way unto the Lord; trust also in
bin, and He shall bring II to pass; and lie
shall bring forth thy righteousness as the
light, aud the judgment as the MONDAY.
Rest IN the Lord, and walt patiently for
Him; fret not thyself because Of him who
prospereth In his way, because OF the man
who brlngeth wicked devices to pass.
Cease from anger, forsake wrath; fret not
thyself In any wise to do evil" lie
preached a very able discourse.
Before 2 o'clock the tabernacle was filled
with grown persons, as well as children,
the rumor having been circulated that
christening would take place at that hour.
Accordingly at the time appointed little II.
William Mlckle received the ordinance Of
Glen Poole, who has become almost In
dispensable during the Illness OF Mr.. Will
son, conducted the service, and DIR. A.
Kelley delivered an interesting address.
Ladies' meeting was conducted by Mrs.
Burns IN the tent at the same hour.
The announcement that Bishop Andrews
would preach to-day drew a congregation
almost equal TO the crowd Of last Sunday.
He took for his text the parable found Ia
the twenty-fifth chapter OF Matthew. Those
who heard him felt amply repaid for any
sacrifice they made to attend this service.
The young peoples prayer and praise SER
Vice was held at the usual hour under the
direction of Mrs. Kelley.
DR.. W. S. Edwards will again preach one
OF bis eloquent and impressive sermons at
8 O'Clock this evening.
Tomorrow will be temperance day.
