DOUGLAS CAMP MEETING.

There was great rejoicing in the heart of the Catholic woman's husband. Mrs. E. M. Levy had charge of about one hundred and fifty children, and forty of them gave their hearts to God. She is a successful worker among children. At the same time, Rev. I. T. Johnson conducted a large and successful service in front of the preacher's stand. Many were seeking Goel. No doubt some of them found the Saviour. Rev. J. A. Woocl preached at half past two, from " God is love." There was such a crowd of people, and so many were ta.lking, that it was hard work to be heard. But God helped him till he conquered. "God's love is manifested on every side, All human love is a manifestation of God's love in us. It is God incarnated in the soul. To love God with all the heart, and our neighbor as ourselves, is the whole duty of rnan." There was so much power among the people that the altar service was continued till supper time, and many were saved. One woman hurt the cause very much by her loud and continued shouting, or screaming. It seemed to harden the sinners. Dea. Morse stood in front of the stand, weeping and beseeching sinners to come to Christ. After supper, George E. Tilley, Evangelist, from Jamaica, N. Y., led a blessed service in the dining hall for the benefit of the caterer, W. B. Stone and family, and the waiters, who had worked so hard to feed the bodies of the people. It was a good service, and was well received.
