TIE CAMP MEETING At GATHERS
BURG ESEABLISHED.


CAMP-THE PROGRAMME OF EXERCISES
THE CREATURE CoMFoRTs.
This is what Is known as working day in
camp. It takes some time to get ready for
camp-meeting Just IS for any other great en-
teFprise, and although the energy Of the com
mittee has gotten al things ready in the rough,
the tenants and housekeepers are busy as bees
today fitting up the tents inside. Everything
Is progressing finely, and many of the cosy
homes are already in most inviting order.
6now-White spreads with ruffled pilloW-cases
from the distinctiVeiRsIde decoration. Generally
neat carpets with stands bearing few books,
and simple ornaments tastefully arranged, are
70 be seen in the open tents.
Beautiful plats Of moss, with an improvised
pie Of rocks 10 the centre, surrounded BY an
evergreen tree with urns and wire peeping out
from the creYiees, have been placed In front Of
many Of the tents, and already several Of the
avenues thus besu.ifed present most charrn-
ing appearance.
The $40 train this morning brought about
three hundred sojourners, and the O'Clock
added about the same number, which, To-
retber with the humber who came during YES
terday, and . few families that have been
tented here for q week past, make about q
thousand persons on the ground to-day.
A large number Of laborers are present,
fitting up the inner court for worship. The
preachers stand e decorated with q canvas
running across the front, upoRwhieh is printed
al Am the way, and the truth, and the liz" -
John, Kiv:6.
From the trees throughout the grove are sus-
pended gasoline chandeliers, and at the head
and entrance 70 the avenues large drum-hesd
lights. Judging from the number, the camp
win be sEcellently lighted. Besides these, the
four camp-fires on the inner court will be kept
h. Nho ~ r,r1v
