PLAINVILLE GIMP MEETING.
Despite the Rain all the Services Were
Well Attended.

Gld1nVllle, CONN.,, july Z0.-lne sec
ond day of the Methodist encampmen1
was rainy, but in nowise was the ell
thusiasm dampened. The rain started
very early in the morning and the
campers awoke to find everything about
| thoroughly drenched. Little discom-
fort, however, was caused by the wet
as tents are very few this year, most OF
them having been replaced by fairly
substantial cottages. All of the services
during the day We're held indoors, and
this necessitated considerable crowding
as large crowds attended all the meet
ings. There seems to be an evident de-
sire among all to follow the injunction
of the presiding elder to attend the
meetings and as a result to-day was a
record breaker for rainy day.
| AT $3.50 this morning the Rev. Henry
Blatz, jr., of Westville, conducted very
successful Bible hour. Mr. Blatz is well
adapted to this particular sort of re-
ligious work, and the service proved
very interesting.
The Rev. David Teed of Bakersville
preached the morning sermon at 10
o'clock in the First church house of
Meriden. He aroused great enthusiasm
by a good straight old-fashioned SER
mon on the saving power of Christ. Pre-
siding Elder Adams was present al this
service and he has expressed his inten-
ton of attending all the meetings SO far
as possible, and at least, to give them
the first call upon his time
A fine sermon was preached in the
afternoon by the Rev. DR.. George Ian
sing Taylor of Hamden Plains. Dr. Tay-
lor is one of the most popular preachers
in this conference and consequently
many persons were unable to get seats
owing to the services being held indoors
within cramped quarters. Quite a num-
Der stood outside with umbrellas to
listen 10 him.
DR.. Taylor took his text from the
thirteenth chapter of Luke, 18th verse:
And when Jesus saw her He called her
to Him and said unto her, woman thou
art loosed from thine infirmity." The
speaker called attention to the fact
that there were many "humpback"
Christians who went about with heavy
burdens, and were bent like a half-open
jackknife. These he thought did not
stand properly in the light of God and
failed to carry their burdens as He
would have them. Dr. Taylor enjoned
all Christians to be in their right place
when duty called them. He mentioned
that the woman of his text was in the
sanctuary when she was loosed from her
And so all Christians should
be in the sanctuary and be ready to ,
obey when Jesus calls. He deplored the
tendency among some to stay away
from church on the most trivial cause.
At 1880 this evening the Rev. William
S. WiDans, jr., Of West Haven, preach
ed.
