secuted saints of other ages who, driven
out from the abodes of men, erected
their affairs in the wilderness, and found
JOY in their sacrifices for conscience's
sake. 1t is such q withdrawal from the
pursuits of the world, such concentra-
ton of thought and action upon the
concerns of religion as is hardly possible
to the strictest devotee when in the
midst of the circumstances of his COM
mon experience. Hence it is not to be
wondered at that those who feel the
want of a constant cultivation of their
religious emotions should find the camp
meeting a helpful expedient, nor that
Others, perhaps not so sensitive in this
respect, but having certain sympathy
with religious aims, and a consciousness
of pleasure in religious associations,
should find the same place an agreeable
resort for their summer holiday. The
number of each class seems to be yearly
increasing, and the number of camping
places has been largely augmented with
in few years Although most of them
in this part Of the country are owned
and maintained by the Methodist
churches, the attendance IS by no
means confined to Christians of that
communion. The spirit of hospitality
prevails, and welcome is extended to
allwho come with purpose not hostile
to the primary object of the meeting.
All that is required of visitors is that
they shall conform to the established
regulations and show at least an out
ward respect to the motives of those
most interested in the success of the
occasion, a success that is measured not
so much by the numbers who attend as
by the influences made effectual for the
strengthening of Zion and the emancipa-
ton Of souls from bondage to sin.

ID and religious teaching that cannot

of a meeting. We know that many
people are inclined to sheer at these
gatherings, and even the great and
lamented Greeley is said to have referred
to them very dlsrespectfully in giving
agricultural advice to n man who was
troubled to devise method of killing
