The short Children's Meeting.
The first meeting after the usual din
ner hour was the regular children's meet
ing Fully 500 young people had assem-
bled under the large tabernacle, beside
about 200 men and women. A number
Of little folks were seated on the platform
and they in turn recited scripture quota
tions and Rev. f. b. Short led the meet

meetings have been led by him. The lit

zeal and courage, greatly outrivaling
their older brethren and sisters.

strong right arm of Leader Short moves

Not Too Warm to shout.
The woods rang with the songs Of the
audience, and many of the 'shoutin'

strain. But still they could not Withhold
their peace. Gray haired men and
women declared they had been on 1.-THE
way for thirty years and more while
there were those who had just started
out, and announced their intention of
remaining steadfast. Everyone seemed
anxious to speak, and at times there
were three standing at once. The meet

Spirit, but at its height the bell sounded
for the preaching service.
Musicians Were Scarce.
The singing was an attractive feature
of the day but most of the time it was
nothing like the excellent music that was
enjoyed there last year. Professor
Sweeney, the great Sunday school singer
and composer, was there as the leader
and the baritone solost Mrs. Mark r.
Bowman was the soprano soloist, and
Miss Grace Quigg was the organist. The
solos and duets of Professor sweeney and
Mrs. Bowman were greatly admired Other
singers who sat in the choir stand during
the day, were Miss Lola Chalfant, Miss
May Taggart, Miss Emma Watson. Mrs.
Isaac Jewell, Miss Laura Baker. Miss
Susie Sherwood, Miss Ella Knowles, II

and others. An enterprising leader, TO
form and drill large choir and orchestra
for the camp, is sadly needed, as the
small choir and weak singing attested to
yesterday.
