The innexibility Of Methodist camp meeting laws
ana the Presidents obedience to law and recogni-
tion OF It's authority were strikingy illustrated by
an incident that was related to me here. Last sun
day morning DR.. Newman had been invited TO
preach at Ocean Grove, and President Grant was TO
nave accompanied him thther. Rev. Mr.. Stokes,
the PRESIDENT of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting
ASSOCIATION, who had given the invitation, saw no

the gates should be kept shut and that the Presl-
aent should OBEY the camp laws like any other per.
seS when p tne facts OF the case were laid
the inaexibility OF the laws and remarked that
while they remained unrepealed they should be en-
forced equally toward all men. The result was that

Last month Sea Cliff Association farmed out the
dining halls to individuals, but fixed the price OF
board at 81 % per day, or 81 per day for hve or
more days; but this month they have run them
themselves, under the superintendent OF one OF
those persons to whom they were let last month
They have retained the price at 81 rs per day, no
matter how long you stay.
THE BOARD WAS VERY GOOD
for the money but the service in the dining halls
was, after Sunday, decidedly bad. little OF the
mutnOus spirit was manifested by the cOlOred
servants on Monday, and on Tuesday about twenty
OF them left the encampment. On that day there
was great influx of ministers to the grounds to
hear the Rev. Hugh StOwell Brown, and as many OF
these as could be seated at one or two tables were
so placed, and mOn0p0liZed so many Of the few
remaining walters that the other bOarders had to
run about and help themselves to whatever they
could get Every man mad to serve himself
and his family or let them go without food. The
next day 1t was little better. because the great
left the encampment on Wednesday, bOarders were
better attended to- Complaints long and loud had
been made of their treatment the day before, and
the trustees probably saw that Ii they would make
good impression for another year they must look
well to this 1t Is folly to ignore the close relation
and good prayer meeting well attended and d.
rected But as in this case the spiritual was subOr
dinated to the financial, there was the greater rea
son why the physical man should be well cared for,
There are two OF these large dining halls on the
ground, numbered and 2 No. Is on the north
end OF the campers and No. is on q little hill on
the south, overlooking part OF
HEMPSTEAD BAY AND SURROUNDING COUNTRY.
Last month the complaints were made against
No. that the food was bad and the service no
better This time the complaints were made
against No. 2; but inasmuch as the association ran
both OF them at this meeting, could not see any
good reason why there should be any difference in
that last month they were anxious to sell their
cliff and wooded lots, and hence, furnished better
board and attendance at No. than at No. 1;
whereas now the desire Is to dispose OF lots at the
other end OF the ground, and visitors are invited
to go there by better board and better service at
No. l. This, however, l don't think satisfactory.
My boarding experience was confined to one hall,
so that cannot tell how others Jared elsewhere.
nor do know whether lots sold faster at one end
OF the ground than the other. But as the assOcia-
tlOn had nothing to do with the board last month
but to fix the maximum limit Of cost, fail to see
why the lessees of the halls should bring pecuniary
loss upon themselves to enable the trustees to
make money. understand that both the lessees
OF last month lost money and that Is why the trus-
tees run them now
