MURRAY GROVE MEETINGS.

As the capacity for development Of the
Murray grove meetings becomes sppa-
rent, they are commencing themselves to
the more thoughtful and devotional of
our ministers.
Rev. DR.. Sawyer,
in recent letter to Rev. 81. r. Walworth,
of Baltimore says, 81 am too old TO fire
the hearts of the people by my presence
and speech. l visited the place twice,
I think, fifty years ago, perhaps, and
preached in the Potter meeting house. 1t
would afford me great pleasure to go
there again and attend the meetings in
August, but my age, now in my eighty
fifth year, units me for much labor.
Pray say to DR.. Kennedy that 1 would
like him to suggest any service l can rem
der the enterprise"
Would that he could visit the "Holy
Land of Universalism" again, mark the
changes fifty years have wrought, and lift
his voice in the beautiful memorial
church. 1t would be scene never to be
forgotten. He would "fire the hearts of
the people to the highest pitch of enthu-
siasm.
Rev. James Shrigley,
under date of June 30, makes a happy
suggestion. On the third day of the
meetings which this year are to extend
from the 18th to the 27th of August, he is
to read paper on the pioneers of Uni
versalism," and in that connection he
says: "As the next meeting of the Murray
Grove Association promises to be Of un-
usual interest, have thought it might
be we'll to issue a call for rare books,
manuscripts, portraits OF our early pion-
GERS, reliets and anything relative to
our early history TO deposit among the
archives of the Association. We might
thus begin work which in time would
become valuable and of deep interest to
pilgrims who in future years will visit
these historic groves" In accordance
with the suggestion all who possess any
of the objects indicated above are COR
daily invited to send them before the
14th OF August, to Rev g. w. Barnes,
Cedar Greek, Ocean county, N. ]. OBJ
jscts sent will be promptly acknowledged
and formally presented in behalf of the
donors to the Association on Tuesday,
August IA, at close of the discussion of
Rev. Mr.. Shrigley's paper.

Murray Grove is located. Four trains a
