THE LAST DAY.
MOUNDSvILLE CAMPMERTING BROUGHT TO A
SUCCESSFUL CLOSE.
Interesting Farewell Servicss-Synopsis Of the
Sermons-People Preparing to Leave
the Grounds for their homes.

The closing day on the Moundsvilie
camp-grounds was marked with quiet
ness, all the excitement OF the day be-
fore having subsidized, and the cottagers
being determined to take things as easy
as possible. Most Of the company re-
naming over from Sunday left on the
early morning train, and the grounds
looked rather deserted until evening,
when the attendance got better and a
good congregation was present for the
evening services. Profitable and enjoy
able meetings were held during the day,
and the closing scenes witnessed good
old-fashioned Methodist love feast and
goodbye hand shaking.
The morning services were all as well
attended as usual, the $50 service
being very interesting. Prayer-meet-
ing was conducted in the Temple at
6 o'clock followed by Bible reading at
$50. Rev. McChesney preached to a
large congregation at 1000 and again
in the afternoon at 2:30. The subject
OF his afternoons discourse was Elijah
and Elisha" This was originally in
tended for his Sabbath morning SER
mon, but he afterwards thought 1t adj
visable to keep the best wine for
the last of the feast. Rev.
McChesney has been engaged
in camp meeting work for thirty years,
but never before attempted the feat OF
preaching four times In two days in the
open air TO large congregations. This
he did yesterday and Sunday, and bore
up remarkably well under the fatigning
labor. Each OF his sermons was power
ful In its mprehenSion, and delivered
with much force.
Children's Meeting in the Temple, at
1870, conducted by Mrs. Trego, had lost
none OF It's Old-time interest, and was as
we'll attended yesterday as on any pre-
vious occasion. Mrs. Trego is great
favorite with the little ones, and is very
enthusiastic in her work. Her depart
ure will be deeply regretted by the at
PENDANTS at these meetings.
Rev. A. B. Rider conducted Pentecos-
tai services in the Auditorium at four
o'clock in which nearly every one
sought the opportunity of giving their
experience In the religion Of Christ and
SHINING praises to God. This meeting
continued until nearly six o'clock.
Young Peoples meeting was held at
six o. H., and DR.. Banks preached the
closing sermon in the evening. He had
finished his series of talks on the Life
of Christ" and no stereoptican views
were used in last nights meeting.
Rev. McChasney conducted the after
services and the final farewells which
closes the MoundsYille campmeeting
until next year.

Delaware, Ohio. DR.. Banks remained
