Methodist Day Next Wednesday.
TYLER CITY, Aug. 2.-Services were not
held in the forenoon to-day at the camp as
most of the people were busy preparing for
Sunday, but in the afternoon there were
four clergymeu present, among whom was
Rev. T. Thomas of NewHaven, who preached
the sermon. He took his text from Rom
ans, 7th chapter, 4th verse. He told how
Christ by his death reconciled the sinful
man to God and thereby though we are
dead yet shall we live.
Mr.. Thomas spoke earnestly of the saliva
ton of men, of the necessity for man to
know where he stands in regard to Christi
anity, to know how he stands, for a man to
love his neighbor, for Christians to love
each other and be charitable, for all to
come to the rock where only there was
| sure footing.
After his exhortation, which was very
short, PRAYER was offered by Rev. Mr..
Biddle of New Haven and the people dis
persed.
Raw took the stand and made a few re-
| marks concerning the camp meeting, which
he said they had decided to prolong anoth-
er week, as many who wished to come had
been unable to attend, and for other rea-
sons: and he said there would be several
very interesting ministers at the camp to-
morrow (the>Sabbath) and all who came
| would be benefited thereby.
Next Wednesday will be another Meth
odist day and all good Methodists within
! hundred miles are invited to turn out and
| make the beautiful woods ring with their
songs and prayers.

| Mr.. Colyert of Ansonia, who took for his
| text, "And /, if I be lifted up from the
| earth, will draw all men unto men. Sub
! iect:-The magnetism of the cross" He
| spoke of the feeling towards the cross in
| early times before Christ, and before Con-
| stantine saw the vision of the flaming cross
/ in the sky. Then how it grew into favor,
! until it became the emblem of victory. The
! effect of the cross is largely dependent
upon it's position, so if it be lifted up 1t
| will draw all men unto itself. The re-
sponsibility of holding up the cross falls
| upon all Christians-all who believe in it
| and in the cruci6ed one who hung upon
| upon it. It is the duty of every Christian
| to hold the cross high, that dying sinners
| may see Jesus and thereby accept him as
| the living Savior. The cross is the Chris
( tian's badge, by which he can be identi-
fed. o come to the cross; join the great
| throng of the redeemed; join the heavenly
hosts; take their hands and unite with
| in the song of the harvest home.
Mr.. Colverts sermon was very eloquent
earnest and interesting, and its only trou-
BILE was its brevity; all who heard it would
| have liked to have listened longer, but
| time forbid. The gates will be open all
| day tomorrow, and all are invited to
come.

RAID UPON SOCIALISTS.
Deputy Sheriff Konold and officer
Taylor Surprise State Street
Gathering.
There are several men OF a socialistic turn
| of mind, who have been in the habit of
| meeting every Sunday in what is known
as Socialists hall upon the fourth floor of
the tall building on State street, near
Chapel, next to the Boardman building.
| Fiery talk and fiery argument is supposed
| to be the rule in this Sunday gathering of
| these fiery individuals. Like all societies
of this kind, the members are as fond of
their beer as they are fond of their long
| hair and sky rocket oratory.
The government officials and police have
had their eye upon the place for some
time. There seemed to be no doubt but
that the Sunday law was violated with i'm
punity by these socialistic people. Accord
ingly Deputy Sheriff Konold and Officer Tay-
lor descended or rather assembled upon the
place yesterday afternoon. They found a
| varied mass of humanity swearing and
smoking, and clustered about each other.
Four barrels of beer were on tap and We're
| being taxed to their utmost by the
fire-eating individuals who filed
the room. The .officers did not
meet with any great resistance. They con-
| fscated the beer and took it with them to
the police station. They also brought with
them the dispenser of the frothy amber
colored liquid, one,Alexapder Lane of 1856
| Congress avenue He was held on a charge
| of violating the Sunday liquor law. He
| was released on 800 bonds.
