WisRISoToS GROVE, August ~, 1881.
The children's afternoon service on Satur-
day, conducted by Evangelist Frank Snyder,
was very successful. Yesterdays throng Of
visitors at the grove was psrceptibly less than
on the previous Sabbath but the couple Of
thousand who came, despite the heat and dust,
had a more comfortable time, and got the full
benefit of the services
Order within the circle good. The dust
in the avenues discouraged promensding.
Every available seat was taken, the cottagers
kindly loaning all chairs not in actual use. The
girls had learned something by that weeksexpe-
riencs, and instead of the costly and dressy
gowns that could hardly be appreciated through
the mist Of dirt that yelled them, wore the pref
tier and more becoming frocks Of organdy,
null and gingham, fresh and sweet and cool.

amounting to more than Si05.

on the outskirts Of the encampment
