Good Will Pines. Me-, East Fairfield
July 31.-(SpeciaD.- The charms of the
later hours of Sunday afternoon in
camp are simply indescribable. AS
evening approaches and the shadows
lengthen there is comparative quiet
among the boys. Some are in the tents
writing home, some are under the trees
reading or being read to, some are
watching the pranks of a squirrel as he
steals his supper out of an abandoned
lunch box, some are with Mr.. Hinckley
around the organ singing, some are
listening to Mr.. Hadley as he tells of
his sad work in the rescue mission in
the heart of the great city, some are
alone thinking of home and mother;
but all are happy. Sunday afternoon
in the Pines is rich in its opportunity
and lasting in it's impression.
Sunday evening the Assembly tent
was filled for the third time for the
day. Many of the day visitors remain
ed for the service and many new ones
came. Mr.. Hadley told in his mimi
Street, describing some of the noble
men and women who have there been
reached by love and saved TO lives of
happiness and usefulness: and as he
told the sad story of his own downfall
into a life of sin and his conversion to
God the large audience was filled with
sadness and thrilled with joy. 1t was
a message of solemn warning and it
must have awakened and stimulated
the desire for a purer and holier life.

ingness and power to save and keep
man from sin. Mr.. Hadleys addresses
are noted for their tenderness. simple
ity and genuine heartiness, and none
have ever been more effective than this
last one. The full day was one of high
privilege, the boys and all others hay
ing had extraordinary privileges and
blessings.
The musical department has never
been more satisfactory than this year.
Special hymn sheets have been printed
and they are distributed freely to all of
the people. The boys sing heartily
and al times they make the welkin
ring" The Boys Orchestra is doing
most excellent work. The Holding
Brothers with Masters Winslow and
Stevens, all from Lewiston, are trained
musicians and manly young fellows,
and their Willingness to serve at all
times and everywhere is greatly appre

called, the encoreS only serving to in
crease the enthusiasm. Mr.. HinCkley
regards himself as being greatly favor.
