dull. dreary place to the young folks
while their devout elders busy them
selves during the day and betake them
selves early to their couches, would be
very much surprised if they remained
an evening at the camp grounds, and
saw the diversions of the young people.
1t is usually rather quiet until near the
time for the closing services at night,
then the young folks gather together to
enjoy the evening. 1t may be that a
quiet game of tennis has been played
earlier in the evening; but they are few
who desire to WELD the racquet in the
old factory.
Last evening was typical night for
youthful frolic. The moon threw her
pale beams over clustered tents and
made the wandering paths more uncer-
tain with their quivering shadows; the
air was calm and quiet. and not sound
disturbed the tranquil evening, except
when some lone bird would wake from
his slumber and dreamily call to his
mate. The old folks have retired, and
the younger element hold possession of
the grove. Softly the sweet strains of
the guitar break upon the air, and the
quartette following the lead of the deli
cate instrument fill the air with sweet
tones of some enhancing song.
There are two quartettes on the
ground. The first, male quartatte, is
composed of MessrS. Wing, Powell,
Spear and Ferree; the second, a mixed
quartette, consists of Misses Jennie and
Alice Moore and Messrs. Powell and
Wing. The sweetest hour of the day,
or rather night, from 10 to IL p. m, are
spent in singing those college songs
which are ever new. The young ladies'
enjoy the serenades, and many gay
and festive, not to say loving, hour
is spent after the old folks
have gone to sleep. The serenades
are not always confined to the grove,
sometimes the neighboring villages are
awakened from their slumbels by the
voices of the human songsters. w. E..
Wing is the young gentleman who
draws sweet strains from the guitar,
while J. q. Powell discOurses sweet
nm sic from the violin when he is not
engaged in exchanging tickets for the
root Of all evil. A few evenings ago
the young people hired a 'bus, and TAX
ing ride to st. Paul Park, serenaded
several of their friends in that village.
The young people are far from feeling
lonesome at Red Rock. and are the envy
of those who are not in it.
Yesterday might be put down as an
other eminently successful day in re-
ligious work. In fact, if one is to Judge
from the opinions of the campers, each
day is more successful than the one pre-
ceding. The honOrS of The day were once
more carried off by Mrs. Smith and DIR.
BaSsee, who seem to be doing excellent
work in the camp. After the morning
sermon of the latter there was regular
old-fashioned handShaking, and express
sionS of goodwill were heard on all
sides. The able sermon of the doctor, who
spoke on Faith" affected many, and
all feel the good results of his work.
Mrs. Smith took for her subject ChrisJ's
last sermon to his disciples, and said the
sermon might show how much all might
do in church work. In the evening
Rev. John Stafford delivered the ser
mon. This morning DR.. Satterlee will
have class in Bible reading at 8
o'clock, and DR.. Brassee will speak at
the w. F. NJ. S., when Mrs.
