But few persons arrived by the morning trains on Saturday; among them the Rev. Richard Morris and his family.

At 3 p. m. & conversation meeting was held under the leadership of the Rev. J. R Wheeler. It was remarked all over the grounds that this was the best meeting held since the opening of the camp. One penitent presented herself at the altar, this being the first at the meetings this year. At?s p m.the Rey. E. D. Owen preached from ts! Samuel, xil, latter clause of U gid verse. At the close of the sermon an opportunity was given to all who wished to begin a new lifeto come forward and kneel atthe aliar for prayer.

ELECTIONEPRING ON THE CAMP GROUND. At 10 o'clock the bell rang for preaching. | By this time the entire enclosure within te cirele was filled with people from the coun- ing, and the seats out- side the tabernacle were oceapied by cou- ples, few of whom listened with any great attention to the preaching. During the ser- mon tLe different political candidates were discussed, and some of the candidates, tak- jog advantage of the large assemblage from the country to do a little electioneering, went sofar as to make short addresses within | hearing distance of the preaching.
