From the Rehoboth Record. fnm
This year the annual camp-meeting
commences on the 10Th Of the present
month. From the orders which have al
ready come in for tents, and from other
indications, the managers Of the meeting
anticipate q more prosperous season than
for some years. lhls
At the annual meeting of the Board Of;
Directors, an important change was made
In the management OF the camp. Here
tofore The several standing committees
all had concurrent control over, the camp
meeting. No Improvement could be
made, or any change In policy adopted
without the approval Of the several COM
mites. Now one committee-the Camp
meeting Committee-has the sole man
agement. The committee is as follows: !:
| Puel Heisler, T. Z. Martindale, Thomas
Mallalieu,' J. b. Qaigg-T. E. Martin
dale, Secretary, The committee has EVIL
denced its wisdom by a departure from
former years, in requesting Rev. w. E.
England, pastor Ia charge at Lewes,
and the members of his church; Rev.
W. W. Redman, of Millaboro' circuit
| and other ministers from the Peninsula
TO cooperate and assist in the manage
ment Of the camp-meeting. This action
will no doubt be of great benefit to the
meeting, and will arouse an interest in
the camp not heretofore felt. r
| As matter Of public information we
! give the prices of tents this year as fol-
lows: Wall tents Ecanvassl 10x12, 81
12x16, SO; 12x20, $l1. Board tents, one

The camp-meeting will be conducted
and the religions services will be under
the control of Rev. W. e. England, Of
the Lewes circuit.
II cannot now be definitely announced
who will preach during the camp, but a
number Of prominent ministers have beer
invited to attend, and some of them have
signified their intention of being present
Bishop Scott will be present part of the
time, and If his health permits will preacl
at least once during the meeting. DR.
Fowler, editor of the New York Chris
! tidn Aduocdte, is also expected, and DR.

come, but 1t Is doubtful. Rev. Jacnl
