At the CAMP-MEETING, which
commenced on Friday the 9TH, and en-
ded Tuesday the 18th of July, 1909,
on the south side of James river, about
eight miles from the city of Richmond,
there were 16preachers besides exhor-
tiers. On the Sabbath, it was judged
there were more than four thousand
people, 100 riding carriages, with
gigss, SIC. besides Wagons and carts.
The camp-ground enclosed about four
acres Of land, with grove of trees
neatly trimmed no horses or carriages
were suffered to come within the lines
OF the camp; the tents were all built
on the lines, and lights and lamps were
kept burning during the night; so that
the place was well illuminated. There
were but few hours during the time
that religious worship was not going
on. AT sun rise, the appointed time
for public prayer, there appeared as if
a solemn awe rested on the assembly.
so that uncommon good order was kept
up. Between twenty and thirty pro-
fessed to get converted-they appear
ed to have in view the object of perfec,
love; and many openly declared they
did experience and were witnesses
that g the blood of Jesus Christ clean
seth from all SIM" The meeting was
