Dear Sir: If you will kindly per-
NIT me, would be pleased to give a
brief account of most delightful and
profitable trip which | have recently
taken to the great campmeeting, at
Mt. Auburn, Cincinnati. My young
daughter, Jessie, and | arrived there
last Sunday morning, about nine
o'clock, and proceeded at once to the
the room where the ministers and
other visitors registered their names,
and soon all necessary arrangements
were made for our free entertainment
throughout the entire meeting, should
we wish to remain that long. The
services of the day were spiritual and
uplifting Astounding in good things for
those in attendance Rev. Elliot, Rev.
Kulp, both | believe from Michigan,
and Rev. Compton, of Ashville, N. G.,
delivered impressive sermons. The
sermon preached by Rev. Compton in
the afternoon, on the text, THE Grace
of Our Lord Jesus Christ" the of God,
and the communion and fellowship
of the Holy Spirit be with you all was
especially helpful to the souls of be-
levers. This minister, who has
charge of an orphanage in North Car
DINA is so deeply consecrated to God,
and full of enthusiasm and zeal for
the holy cause that his words inspire
listeners with a more earnest desire
and determination to press on despite
Of all hindrances and difficulties to-
ward the Heavenly goal. For three
consecutive mornings, Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, June II, IL, and
10, it was my blessed privilege to at
tend the early prayer service, begin
ming at six o'clock. | do not think
there is any question but that the fer
vent prayers that assembled from that
large company of Gods children
reached the very throne of Heaven,
and no one may know this side of the
gates of the New Jerusalem how much
they have availed; but let us be sure
of this, that "The effectual, fervent
prayer of even a single righteous man,
availeth much"
From seven to eight o'clock each
morning, DR.. Colby, gave instructive
talks on Scripture, and from eight
to nine, there were some wonderful
missionary meetings. Some of the
speakers at the latter were as fol-
lows: Rev. R. c. Finch, missionary
to South America, and the West In
dies, De Weerd, South Africa, Miss FL
rich, India, and Miss Pierce, China
These were some Of the grandest
meetings of the kind | ever attended
and after hearing the touching Incl
dents related description of the de-
plorable conditions and needs of the
heather in the darkest regions of the
world where the name of God and
good will which pervaded the whole
camp, caused me to rejoice that | ever
attended, and felt sorry when the
time came to depart, for | wanted tc
continue feastng on the bounties Of
grace to be enjoyed there. However
on account of engagement at another
point, where expect to begin a ser
les of religious meetings | considered
1t almost necessary to leave on Wed
nesday afternoon, June 10. pray
Gods blessing upon the dear saints
and the work they are doing. We tool
some trips to the Zoo and Norwood
also Bellevue, which ] Will not dc
scribe In this article. Yours In tn
Saviour's name,
