grounds. 1t is as fresh as the air in the
grove. and at present great deal cooler.
1t is pumped up by half dozen cucum-
ber pumps, which can ls3 reach with
short easy walks. A number of the city
residents use the water freely and have
a supply shipped to them daily while
they are at their homes in the city dur
ing the winter.
The services went on as usual. Prayer
meeting at @ o'clock, and then expert
ence Immediately after breakfast.
Neither of the meetings was very largely
attended yesterday. "How to keep
cool" was the problem which the dwell
ers in cottages and tents were discuss

it could be answered by singing and
praying aloud, so they stayed qulettly
