and ideal camp meeting weather. Rev.
Joseph Madison conducted the Love
feast at $50, and at 1890 Rev. #. p.
Doty, of Scranton, preached, taking
for his text Isaiah lis: "Come now ana
let us reason together said the Lord"
Among the many valuable thoughts
presented, one was that IL intelligent
beings can show why they ought not
to obey God, they should candidly
state IL, and then abide the conse-
quences. The afternoon sermon was
preached by Rev. William Edgar; text,
Timothy 112, followed by DR.. Will
liam G.. Simpson. The theme of Rev.
]. r. Wagner's sermon in the evening
was Satanic Power and Infiuence;"
