Yesterday was a big day, in point Of
attendance, at the Moupdsyille camp
meeting, The several trains that arrived
early in the morning were all crowded,
and the people came driving in from the
countryside round about, Z. droyes, 1t
was evident long before the hour for
closing the gates that there was going TO
be an old'time gathering, and as one
person expressed 1t, "more than a Jones
and Small crowd" Long before the SER
vice the large auditorium was well filed,
and by the time the sermon began the
entire enclosure was packed to the very
stand and as far back as the cottages
would permit,
The morning service at s o'clock, un,
der thu supervision OF Rev. O. H, Lakin,
was one Of great power, and lasted.
nearly two hours, This was followed by
q song service, conducted by Prof. Kirk
patrick, assisted by a choir Of fully one
hundred voices, and with the great
audiencejoining in the chorus whenever
possible, The public service at 1880
opened with q reading o fthe 10th Psalm
by Bishop Joyce singing 70 for a thou
sand tongues TO sing" and prayer by
Father Battelle. After The usual an
nouncements and singing, Bishop Joyce
preached. His subject was the capacity
OF sancti6ed human love to know God,
and duty aud destiny,
Hia text waslrom John w. Z. EVERY
one that loyeth is born OF God and
knoweth God.p Some Of the points
made;by tho Bishop were as follows:
1t is the mission OF the mind to know;
each mind has a right to think for itself,
and when we begin TO think we cannot
stop-we keep on thinking through the
ages, II Is a great thing for a man TO
know the important part he is to playin
life. Itmeans more to know, to-day, than
1t formerly did. To know right the
mind and the heart must both bear u
part; the mind leads US to find out
things-the heart to appreciate them.
No man goes, to hell for lack Of brains,
for God has SO arranged things that fools
go to heaven. The great thing In this
life Is to bring the heart and conscience
alongside OF the brain. With the brain
you know one part OF a subject; with
tho heart another. Theheart gives tone
To our thoughts, cause them to have q
meaning. AL o%urtroubles come from
the heart.
The Bishop stated that he had been
preaching for thirty years and during all
that time had been attempting TO settle
difficulties between husband and wife,
parent and child, brother and sister, and
he had never yet had a brain trouble to
settle; all had been troubles OF the
heart. The foundation Of the whole
subject Is heart knowledge. You know
with the heart-you love with the
heart. We know some friends In that
way and we must thus know God. The
mother thus knows her child, and the
child the mother. l can think Of God
as a great abstract being, as the creeds
haveit, without body or without parts"
but l must know him differently before
1t does me any good. Lean tell any
man in the audience whittier he is
going; 1t will not take me two minutes
to do so. Ityou love things below you,
you are going downward; II above you,
you are going upward.
To be fully appreciated, the Bishops
sermon had, to be heard. One beautiful
thought expressed was in words some
what after the following: "The mother
tries 10 make her face a dome OF love to
her child, and / love to think that my
Heavenly Father bends over every hui
man being in the world with infinite
love-" In speaking OF the great curse OF
intemperanCe, he said that this was the
only great evil that had not been con-
quered by Gods love, and that that
would be the very way the evil would
be swept from the earth,
More than three thousand people
heard the sermon. The great audience
was very quiet, respectful and courteous
throughout, and was highly compliment.
ted for the same blythe Bishop. AT the
close Of the sermon he asked all who
wished To help him pay for o church he
was building, 10 come forward, shake
hands with him and drop their offering
in the hat. Hundreds came iorwardand
the sum OF $201 03 was realized. The
Bishop wishes 1t understood that the op.
portunity to contribute is still open as
long as be remains on the grounds, and
that no one need be backward in giving,
as the cause is q good one.
The Children's meeting In the after.
noon was conducted by Rev. Mr.. Grimes,
while Rev. Mr.. Lynch lead the singing.
Short talks were given by the ConduC-
tor and Rev. H. O. Sanford. At 8 p. m.
a conservation service was held, and the
entire auditorium was again crowded.
The Bishop conducted 1t, and II was a
most wonderful service. At It's close he
asked all, who would resolve 10 lead
better lives, to come to the front and
shake hands with him. Hundreds re.
sponded, and there was great shouting
around the altar. From I 10 8 o'clock q
songservice was held.
The public service at night opened
with singing 6p9stand up, stand up for
Jesus" Prayer was offered by Rev. j.
Wesley Webb, which was followed by
more singing 1--WE shall walk the
Realms Of Glory"
Bishop Joyce preached again at this
time. His subject was, "He who desires
10 be saved must believe In Him who
can save" The text was from Act 10,
80 and 81 ys. "What must I do to be
sayed2 Believe In the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt DO sayed.n The
discourse was full, free and a fair pre-.
sentation Of the plan Of salvation In q
most feeling and loving manner. We
should believe In the Lord Jesus Christ

as having o great and wonderful mission
