To-Day.
Bishop Newman Arrived and
Delivered an Eloquent
Address.
Mrs. Van COtt and Mrs. Nor

Exercises.
To-Day's Programme Of
Enthusiastically Ar
rivals and Notings.

Bishop ]. P. Newman will draw an
immense crowd to Red Rock this morn
ing. To-day is the final one of the
camp meeting, and the attendance will
probably rival, if not far exceed any
thing ever before experienced upon the
Red Rock camp grounds.
Probably there is no bishop in the
Methodist church whom the MethOdists
of the state are more anxious to see
than Bishop Newman. As an orator he
ranks with the foremost ministers OF
this country. and it is this that
has given him such a great name
among the people of other
denominations. He will preach at 1890
this forenoon. At o'clock in the after
noon Rev. j. FL. Rhea, D. D., of Mar
shalltown, TO-. will preach, and in the
evening at 8 o'clock the farewell SER
vices will be conducted by Mrs. Van
Cott. At this service an immense pro-
cesslon will be formed, and with the
singing of hymns the people will pass
before the stand and indulge in the
farewell shaking of hands in
TRUE METHODIST STYLE.
The services yesterday were of un-
usual interest. Many had expected that
Bishop Newman would preach in the
morning, but having just arrived the
evening before and being down for an
address in tine afternoon, he thought it
better not to appear.
The Bible study in the morning was
of an interesting and pertinent nature.
1t was on the subject of the true Sab
bath, but soon grew into the subject Of
Sabbath desecratiOn and Sunday news
papers. Rev. j. E. Smith believed that
the majority of the lay members of the
church read these papers. and he sup
ported his views by the fact that those
who attended lay conferences were in
the; habit of reading SUNDAY papers.
DR.. Satterlee took some exceptions to
these statements. He found that lay
electoral conferences of the church
were made up of men of wealth
in the church. and that they did
not represent the spiritual life of that
church: He thought that if any edition
of daily paper was to be discarded it
for it was this edition which caused the
Sunday work. Rev. Cyrus Brooks re-
piled that it was the Sunday paper
which made the Sunday work neces-
sity. Saturdays work might otherwise
be used On Monday morning. DIR. Sat-
terlee thought that the newspaper pub
Usher would differ on that point. Slug
giGg matches and base ball reports they
considered unfit to read on any day.
A great audience attended the MORN
ing services conducted by Mrs. Van
Cott. AS she saw the crowds arrive, evil

but all remained, and they heard one of
the lady's most powerful discourses.
At 1870 in the afternoon Mrs. A. G.
Morrow, of Minneapolis, conducted a
service in the interest of the DeacOnes-
ses' home in Minneapolis. The 8
o'clock service was under the auspices
of the WOmen's Foreign missionary So
ciety, Mrs. Winchell presiding. An
original poem by Mrs. Mills, temper
ance orator; was read by Mrs. Joseph
given by Bishop Newman. He COM
menced by stating that half of the
human race were benefciaries of this
society.
The following is brief outline of the
thought advanced: "One-half of the
population are women, but the spirit
of holy evangelistic work is greater
among the women. Two-thirds of the
church are women. but of the mission
ary churches two-thirds are men, and
this is accounted for in the fact that
women are not as numerous among the
missionaries. The speaker portrayed
the degraded condition of women under
the laws of CONTIGUOUS. The divorce
laws outrivaled those of the most lax
states in the Union. If women bore
sickly children or if they talked too
much the husbands might have sepa-
ration. The bishop here took occasion
to state that he had never met woman
who could talk too much for him. Sub
lime music he found in their voices. and
even in the petulent and scoldlng tones
he caught the
MUSIC OF THE THUNDERS.
Other religions of the heather world
were discussed and compared with
Christianity. In all pagan countries he
women, and that was why the cause of
Christ advanced so slowly with this
class. He did not wonder that women
were so sincere in their worship. Man
has always stood upon the summit of
manhood, but it was Christ who stopped
and lifted woman out of her degreda-
tion and placed her upon an equality
with man. The church has recognized
that woman is an individual as much as
man is. She can become better law
yer or doctor than man. It she can
make better laws, the bishop believes in
giving her chance. If she were in the
legislative hall she would Danish the
internal traffic in liquor. This senti.
ment was greeted with cheer after
cheer. He believed that there was
sufficient power in the church to con-
vert the world before the end of the
century.
The evening service was conducted
by Ross Taylor, a son of Bishop Taylor,
who is now experimenting

working in America in the interest of
those missions. He is as tall as his

on the work which his father is con-
Quoting. He read a number of letters
from missionaries in that district in
Africa. One was from Rev. Mr.. Kep-
hart, who left the Minnesota conference
about six months ago. He is now pre-
siding over twenty self-sustaining sta
tions. While a collection was being
taken for this cause Mr.. Taylor sang a
number of selections in the Zulu lau-
guage. His evening sermon which fol-
lowed was on the subject of holiness.
