As the decorations used yesterday were
being removed from the tabernacle this
morning, the prayer meeting was held In
the tent. This meeting, which was under
the direction Of Mrs. Clara Roach was one
Of great interest. Although there Is no
particular stir attending these meetings,
yet there is a quickening and renewing OF
spiritual life among the members which will
be productive OF much good.
At 1890 Rov. Mr.. Baldwin preached from
the text found In Peter 1: 3, 4-"Blessed
be the God and Father Of our Lord Jesus |
Christ, which according TO His abundant
mercy hath beg often us again unto lively |
hope by the resurrection OF Jesus Christ |
from the dead; TO an inheritance incor |
ruptible and unde6led and that fadeth not |
away, reserved In heaven for you" He |
took for his theme heavenly Inheritance, |
and preached an excellent aud touching |
sermon. At2 o'clock an interesting chill
dren's meeting was conducted by Mr.. Man
ship, the boys and girls vying with each
other as 10 who could recite the greater
number OF verses.
The ladies' meeting was omitted this
afternoon on account OF the excitement
caused by the report OF the railroad acci-
dent.
The rumor having been circulated that
Rev. Mr.. Mauship would only be here for
one day, quite a large congregation as
sembled In the tabernacle at o'clock to
hear him preach. He took for his text
Nehemiah wifi: 10, and preached an interest
ing and instructive sermon.

A Sunday on the camp ground ls synono::
nous with mud or dust, heat fatigue, and
confusion, but to-day has been an unusual
exception. This morning dawned cool and
delightful and before z o'clock many car
riages and other vehicles were seen within
the inclosure and their occupants wended
their way to the station to meet tho incom-
ing trains. These arrived at the appointed
time and rolled away, aud soon Grove
avenue, from circle to station, was a sea OF
human faces, all expressing content and en-
joyment at being again at this beautiful
grove. The number here to-day fully
equals, II not surpasses, the crowd present
on former occasions.
At o'clock the prayer and experience
meeting was conducted by Rev. Richard
Norris and was ono OF great interest.
Prayers were offered that all who came on
the grounds might feel the influence Of the
spirit OF God, and that great good might re-
suit from the work OF to-day.

tabernacle was filed and many were stand
