SE as charitable omitted yesterday the insolent part of rev Mc Donalds closing remarks this morning for reasons which will appear later wo we publish it it waa was to the effect that the camp meeting bad had been supplanted in the use of the pavilion by certain religious festivities being held there today to day wednesday be he bantel it understood that no more services were to be held in la the pavilion and called on all the congregation to fjola oin in singing the doxology once more in the pavilion before it ia Is turned over to the service of satan referring to the celebration of brigham Brij ham youngs birthday and the evening dance I 1 the last presume being in the nature of a voluntary explanation by mr hill himself the same reverend scriba supplied the post with a rep report ort of tha the services in which he quotes quotas dr mcdanald Mc Donld as baying saying it is a sad state of affairs when a community must be curled with a religion that has no other manifestation than sensual amuse input we have said THE tae STANDARDS omission of the bigoted remarks attributed to dr mcdonald was prompted by charity that grace extended no not only to the reverend fanatic himself but also to hia his unwise and unkind disciple who hal ha 1 no bettor better batter better discretion than to wish to giva give to the public disgraceful senti sentiments menti which as a true christian le he ought to have been most t anxious to suppress for our part 7 mos we wa should have been willing that dr mcdonaldd senile might b ba passed by with contempt dr hill would not have hive it fo to and his complete endorsement of them ia is proven not only by the zeal with which be he rushed them to the newspapers but also by bis his sneering repetition of them to parsons in faar his camp meeting had to vacate the pavilion it basas eary therefore tha to state publicly the whole about the affair and to ex cariato publicly the pettiness of soul and tile hateful nas of spirit which could give utterance to euch such views the condition conditions andar which the ugo use of tha pavilion was granted the national camp meeting holiness association are bet forth elsewhere ia in this paper there were two distinct reservations one was that the memorial services might not ba inter later farad faral with the other KM was that the prior granting of the park and pavilion for the usual festivities 0 day must ba fulfilled the accepted the grant with these conditions there was no compulsion about the business evea sven a camp mooting president knows in moments I 1 of soberness that there is each a thing as the sacredness of a contract and if it there wag was any thou thought glit that what whit D dr mcdonald calls the service of suan satan one week later was going to vex his righteous saul at the supreme of its i je stacy wa we are not informed that he mentioned it other primary days have been celebrated in leater lester park other social cial dances have babou held hold

if it df dr mcdonald then why under the shining heavens the younger divine give bia his senior that warning against opening his mouth month to the extent of putting his foot ia in it with the perils of which proceeding no one could be more familiar I 1 he is clearly not without blame we wish we knew what part of beeter yesterdays festivities dr Alc Danald particularly larl y alluded to aa as the service of satan could it have bava boon been the merry shouts the inno innocent cont games the beA miar faces of the children we should like to know what particularly impressed him bim as tha the
