But we are perfectly satisfied, from knowledge Of
the mannerln which they conducted in this neigh
borhood, and indeed in all parts OF the country that
they lead, in general, to any results except purity OF
thought and propriety Of conduct Even in those
cases where serious convictions Of the necessity ol
leading viruous life may be excited, there is too
much reason believe that the effect is very tran
s tory, and that the arrested sinner becomes, to
use the jargon of the camp preachers, tenfod more
the child of hell than ever. We confess that we
have been not little astonished in finding the Me-
hodists, one of the most respectable and numerous
religious bodies in the country, numbering probably
TWO or three millions, encouraging these miscella
neous assembages, patronizing such profane and
bias hemous worship, and sanctionng such grossly
| indecent scenes as too frequently disgrace these
occasions. Here we have large multitudes Of beth
sexes herding together, for days and nights, in
he wild and secluded forest, and every license and
opportunity given to the violent passions of the hu
man heart. What mockery-what blasphemous
proclamation of all that is sacred and pure and hol,
10 call this assembage Ct seekers alter the truths
Of christi unity! Rather let such scenes be called a
revival of the obscene rites of Venus and OF Pan =
And yet these the scenes over which respectable
cergymen of the Methodist church-Doctors in
Divinity, save the mark-are found willing to PIE.
ide
This flight Of christianity into the wilderness and
thu forest is all mockery and delusion and shame
R-ligion,in day and in this christian land, needs
not TO seek the sotudcs OF the desert nor to thread
the OF the forest, in order TO find place to
worship God. All over the land, in city, town and
village, and hamlet, and retired valley, are TO be
found the temples Of the true God. There in sob r
ness, and decency, and sincerity Of soul, let men
worship. No longer maywe see the humating and
sad spectacle of respectable churches, respectable
clergymen, sanctoning these camp meenngs--con

vice, where the fallen angels hover around the tents
