Services at Red Rock yesterday were
not largely attended by people from
abroad. The crowd of 1900 present
Sunday has dwiudled down to but a
few hundreds. but fully as large a
crowd is expected to attend the Mills
meeting today.
There was considerable dissatisfaction
on the part of some Oh account OF the
10 cents admission to the grounds,
and many did not 90 in. and
much misunderstanding as to
the time the boat and motor
ran, and. in consequence, crowd of
thirty was left. and staid in the large
pavilion all night, and Monday morn
ing at an early hour a strengthening
crowd could be seen lying about on
seats sand sitting up in every conceiv-
able shape fast asleep. One pretty girl
sat in a chair on the preachers stand.
with her feet upon the table, hat on the
side of her head, arms hanging down,
and sound asleep.
At 3 o'clock William Harrison
preached to fair-sized audience, taking
for his text Hosea, X. II. The dis
course was upon death. He made this
sentence of leXicology his great point:
Life is brief, death is treacherous and
the Judgment is close at hand" The
discourse was directed at considerable
length to infdelS. He wondered God
did not strike infidels and Sabbath
breakers down. He also said that he
was accused of creating excitement and
'making people do things they did not
mean." But he believed that was the
only way TO convert people and make
them realize what death is, and save
them to everlasting life.
He dwelt at length upon the subject
of 80 many people always seeking to
believe something unnatural and with,
out sense" He closed by impressing
the idea that even the heather were
converted and saved from Everlasting
death'' through enthusiasm.
The usual evening services were
largely attended, and large number
came forward to be prayed for mid the
weepings of many others who were
''about ready to receive God and Christ
