The Dr, endree R-illy preached from the text: “We know ff this house of our tabernacl? is dissolved we have a house not made with hands eternal in the Heavens.” It was a powerful ser- men, and was listened to by those present atten- Uvely. The children’s meeting at 2 o'clock wes con- ducted by Rev. Dr. Laney, and the ladies’ meeting, at the same hour, by Mrs. Linvitle, Rev. J. H. Shively officiated in the afternoon. He preachel an excellent sermon, and at 6:30 he led the young pcople’s meeting In the absence of Rev. H.'s. France, who returaed to the city to Ml 8 pulpit. AU7:30 Dr. Owens, of Baltimore, preached from 1 Kings xviii, verse 2 He close with an excellent exho:tation ‘and invitation to sinners to come to the altar. Four persons responded and before the meeting was dismissed profes.ed a change of heart. The committee on grounds held a short mecting to arrange for order and look after the pumps on Sunday. ‘The day was extremely warm and gave evidence that susnmer had not yet taken its departure. THE BECOND SUNDAY IN CAMP. Universal gladness was manif:sted yester- day morning by every one when the sun arose bright and clear, and although the rays were warm yet at no time were they oppres-ive.

At 10:45 am. the tabernacle and surrounding seats were filled principally by ladies, as many of the men had other work on hand. Political can- didates (ot whom their name is tezion) were_pres- ent, and presented their Views to the intelligent voters to get them pledged to stand by thelr can- didates at the primaries, and an effective day’s work was done. Quite a large number of republl- cans were on the grounds to-day expressing their views, which ts rather unusual. An effort is belng made to abolish local opUon In this district, but the republicans have come out unanimous on the local opt:on question, and will put a ticket in the field tn Its favor, while the democrats are divided wbject, so that It looks now ag If the re- as had the best chance. So it was that While the women attended religious services the men mostly discus d the political situation. At 10:39 the Fi xe preached from Mat- thew, chapt:r xvlil, verse 3: “Except ye be con- verted and Decome’ as tte culldren, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.” ‘Tie speaker's sitbject was well chosen, and his oratorical powers were favorably comménted on. Immediately after the sermon all politicians and those who attended the service made a rush for the hotel and dining rooins, and for over an hour nothing could be heard but the clatter of knives, forks and dishes. Table after table was filled, until it would seein as if the remainder of the day was to be occupled tn eating. COUNTRY HOSTS AND CITY GUESTS. ‘Tlie country people have many friends on Sun- day at camp mee:ings. The slightest acquaint- ance 13 a suMiclent pretext to be around when dinner 13 ready, aud many _a city swell could be seen standing by a country wagon holding a chicken bone in one hand and a large sandwich or plece of pie in the other, but when dinner 1s over they take their departure, as if theircompany was an honor to the family board, and pass and re- pass during the afternoon, but seem to be near- sighted—they cannot recognize their friends with whom they dined. At 2o’clock the bell rang for ladies’ meeting in the large tent, and children’s meeting in the tab- ernacte. The former was conducted by Mrs. Bur- res, and every avatiable inch of space within and around the tent was occuptea. The Rev. Dr. Laney had charge of te children, and he was ably assisted by the Rey. Mr. Schively, who addressed the litle ones. ‘These meetings continued up to 3 o'clock, the hour for preaching, when an excellent sermon was delivered by the Key. Richard Norris, of Ryland chapel, from the words, “I do not trus- trate in the grace of God,” found in Galatians IL, verse 21. PARTING SCENES. : Before the close of the sermons hundred3 began the walk to the station, to be ready to board the different trains which would carry them to their homes. A special train the grounds at 3:30 m. for Washington and took down a large num- but they were hardly missed. as the next train that went In at 6:20 was crowded to its ut- most capacity, and should really have had on three or four more cars, Men and women were compelled to stand on the platform and steps, there being no room instde. By 6:30 all who caine by the trains had left, and a large audience was present at the young ‘people's meeting which w, held at that hour. “Rev. Mr. Schively was again the leader, and so interesting were the exercise3 that it was continued up to the hour for preach. ing. By tils time most of the country people had left, and a quiet stillness prevailed over the grounds. By request the Rev. Mr. Schively was the chosen speaker of the evening. He took for a text Hebrews, chap. ix., verse 27: “And It 1s appointed unto men onc? to Wie, but after death the judg- ment.” Itwas a clear and practical discourse. After the sermon an Invitation was given to any seekers after religion to come forward. None, however, responded.
