Especial to The Journal and Courier.)
. Plainvllle Comp Grounds, July 29.-
Dull skies and a promise of rain did
not dampen one whit the interest in the
camp meeting attendance at Plainville
to-day All the meetings were well
filled and everybody in the camp
grounds is regular in his perfor-
nance of the daily routine The camp
is astir daily at o'clock and after
breakfast and family worship the chill
drens meeting, and old fashioned class
meeting, both Of whiehare held at $3.50,
show that every one is in touch with
the reason for being in the place he is.
Mrs, George A, Embry has charge Of
the children's meetingsc and the mum
Der of little people present each morn
ing so far gives substantial evidence
Of the pleasure they take In the hour
devoted to them.
The old fashioned class meeting
which was so successful last year that
it is repeated this, is one of the most
popular exercises Of the, season. Rev.
E. c. Carpenter of this city is the lead
er.
At the expository address at 1000,
Rev. w. E. Scofleld of Greenwich, con-
tinued his discussion which proved so
interesting at the Saturday morning
meeting, his subject to-day being
Christian Experience and Christian
Service" The auditorium was wen
filled for this service.
This afternoon at 2:SO the Rev. H.
ID. Trinkaus of Seymour, preached the
sermon and the entire service was
most enjoyable and impressive. The
meeting opened with singing a hymn
from the Familiar Songs Of the Cos
pei" the book usedl at the camp meet
ing services, followed by prayer and
reading from the scripture. The an
nouncements for tomorrow were made
by Rev. w. A. Richard and the collec-
ton was taken during which Mr.
Reynolds sang a solo and then the SER
mon by Rev. H. d. Trinkaus. The text
was taken from Isaiah, 45th chapter 9th
verse: Woe unto him that striveth
with his maker" The speaker made
his sermon most interesting by the
earnestness with which he pointed out
the fact that God uses men for his
own glory, and for their own good If
they WILL" telling many instances. of
opportunities given to men to work for
the Master which they have used for
their own glory, and pointing out the
result that in such instance both are
lost. Particularly he spoke of young
men starting in life whose friends were
enthusiastic over their efforts to be
successful in fields Of labor that would
bring them money compensation, but
offered Encouragement to the man
whose ambition led him to go into the
missionary field, because there. is no
money in It," Another instance call
ed to all minds was the fall Of the
great Napoleon who rather than be-
lieve the statement that man proposes
and God disposes," decided that he
would make his own disposal of his
usefulness and he failed. The services
closed with singing and prayer.
Young Peoples meeting was held at
$50 in the Southington house, and at
1880 Rev. N. E. Honnold of Waterbury,
will have the services and preach the
sermon.
To-morow's program will follow out
the usual routine and the address at
1000 by DR.. Scofield will be the last
of the series, the subject being "A
Path to a Definite Experience" Chill

den house at the same hour. The 2:S0
sermon will be by the Rev William
McNicholl of Naugatuck, and 1870 SER
vice and sermon by the Rev I. A.
! Marshall of Derby.
On Sunday at 2;8o the sermon was
| preached by Rev. W. W. W, Wilson, in
i place of Rev. A. H. Goodenough, and
his text was portion of the 1o8rd
Psalm. This service was the best at
