METHODISTS FRATERNIZING.

The Great Round Lake Camp Meeting
Nearly all the papeE5, HOaAe.~~-- -
secular, are talking about the Frater-
nal Camp Meeting" now being holden
bv the Methodists of America. 1t is
truly significant of better day, when
the chief ministers of the different
branches of the great Methodist faml-
Iv meet so cordially-harmonize so
fnlly, spending two whole weeks IN
social worship, as is now being done at
ROUND LAKE.
This camp ground is probably. the
most elegant, central and easy OF ac-
cess of any in the land. 1t is beau
tifnI for situation, the joy of the whole
nation,n But few miles distant from
Saratoga Springs-the most celebrated
watering place in the world. The
grounds are ample and finely wooded
THELAKE,
From which the place derives its
name. is worthy the touches of Raph-
aeIJs hand to half describe its beauties.
IF, as Goethe remarked, 1" water Is
the eve of the landscape" never dld
/ any landscape surpass this, or any
waters a more lovely setting:
There is one half mile improved
water frontage. Along this wharf
onite q fleet of fancy craft await the
touch of skillful bOatmen, When py oar
or sail the crooked keel cuts the cleal
Iiuuid wave. A short distance from
T the shore sits dainty upon the Waeers
the gay {" Diana," neat little steam
~achtIa thing OF beauty-and to some
L ioy forever" High mountains
!, rise in the distance, and the beautltu
bills are on every side.
