Ali tho commandments must be
oboyad and not merely ono. The cap
tain Of a vessel threw out his anchor by
cable that had 100 good links and
but one bad one. The captain conse-
quently felt alarm for the safety OF
his vessel, and well he should for the
chain was no stronger than the worth
less link. He urged all to love, and
duty would be easy, and Joy unspeak-
able will follow.

CONVERSIONS.
Two young ladies', daughters of Rev.
Mr.. Conner, OF Rockiand, were con-
yerted at the prayer meeting on Satur-
day evening, aud gentleman, Mr..
Peters, knelt at the altar in order that
the brothers and sisters could pray that
his sins should be forgiven. Rev. w.
IL. 5. Murray was prominent In the con-
Duct OF the meeting, showing that no
is one OF the greatest revivalists in the
conference. Possessed of good voice
and great physical endurance, he is
well prepared to take rank with the
Wesleys, Whitfield, Asbury or other
preachers who made their names men,
orablo in the early days of the church,
and stimulated multitudes OF mon and
\ women to forsake their evil practices
and enlist in the great army that shall
| swell the hosts around the great white
throne.
4 There have been ten conversions
! thus far, showing that camp meetings
have not entirely lost tier spiritual
influence, and those who are constant
ly bemoanlng the sinful proclivlties o.
the age, belong to the race OF eroakers
who magnify mole hlllsint mountains
and predict ruin and desolatlon to the
rdce.
ALMOST STAMPEDE.
About IL m the occupants OF the
cottages near tho entrance to the
grounds, were greatly alarmed
by two or three horses jerking the
feed trough from the check stand and
swinging 1t over their heads at the
same time jumping and rearing. fright
ening all the horses in the vicinity and
producing noise that was really
alarming for timo.
Fortunately some mon standing
near caught the frightened animals
ard prevented ii general stampede.
That all escaped without injury was
almost miraculous. as fora time the
Indications forboded serious results.
