Warm Springs campmeeting closed
Wednesday. It was a very pleasant
and profitable meeting in despite of
the rain, which began at the opening
and continued to fall in showers with
sometimes a few hours interrflission,
until near its close. Sunday morn¬
ing dawned dark and gloomy, but
the threatening weather did not pre¬
vent an immense crowd form assem
bling on the grounds. The hospital¬
ity of 1 he tent-holders was taxed to
the utmost to entertain such num
bers, but they J seemed equal 1 to the
occasion and we suppose all found
provision for the inner man. Some
of the eldest ministers of the state
were present and assisted in the ser¬
vices. Numbers were converted and
made application tor membership in
the church. The meeting was a great
spiritual feast, and the holy influences
set in motion may continue to grow
and strengthen, until the result can
be estimated only in eternity.
