biOII W Tue uemhWu.
From Wilmingto the cong egations of
ST. palil's and UIiion churches will attend
as usual and 1t is likely that Asbury and
Grace will also 10 despite their threat.
But 1t is likely That the attendance of
Wilmingtonisns will not be near so great
as in former years. A great thing which
detracts from the popularity of the camp
with our people ID tha. 1t is in the Phila-
delphia Conference.
Among the ministers who will be pre-
sent will be Rev. j. b. Quigg, DR.. W. J.
Stevenson and pastors Mann, Caldwell,
Pesg, Wilson, Robinson, Hanes and
others.
woODLAwN CAMP.
Probably the pleasantest camp upon
the whole Peninsula is the one annu-
ally held in Woodlawn Grove, about
four miles from Port Deposit, Cecil
County, Md. The praises of the place
have beenl,ung by every Wilmington pei
son who has visited it, and its growing
popularity bears testimony to its merits.
The camp ground is situated in beau
tifnl grove of forest trees upon a high
and drv ridge that rises in the richest
agricultural section of northeastern
Maryland, and is considerably the high
e.t elevation in tile county around. The
grounds are beautifully laid out with
broad and shady avenues. A handsome
tabernacle in which meetings are held
has lately been erected. Messrs. John
and Enoch Mccullough, members of
/ the Mccullough Iron Company of this
city, each have very handsome cottages
there.
The manner in which Woodlawn
Camp is conducted is different from
what is usually adopted. The asso-
citation consists of about two members
chosen from six or eight different cllur-
ches and they hold meeting every
ear and select minister from one of
these churches to take charge of the reli-
gious exercises. Rev. n. NJ. Brown, pastor
f lhe church al Port Deposit is the prea-
cher in charge for this ye n. The con-
duct here is always orderly and the rules
are strictly enforced.
The camp meeting commences on
Tuesday, August 18th and will continue
FIR ten days. The meetings this year
will be fully up I'd any that have ever
been held, and it IS expected 10 surpass
last years camp by good bit.
Among the things which will add an
interest to the meeting will be the pre-
sence of some of tbe leading pulpit ora
tors of the NJ. Il. Church. Rev. DR..
Fowler, of New York, editor of The
Christian Adrocq'e, will preach on Sun
day August oath. Presiding Elder,
Rev. l.. e. Matlack, d. d. will be pre-
sent during the whole meeting with his
family.
There can be no doubt but that this
,lel'ehif''l camp would be mora frequen-
t d by Whining 'onians each yea W Q
is merits better known to our people.
There is talk among quite a number of
Wilmington families Of testing its merits
this year.
The Superintendent of the camp is
q. S. A6rahams, Woodlawn, Nd, an ac-
ccmnodatng and competent gentlemen
who had charge Of the last .ent letting.
sUsQUEHANNA CAMP.
The members of the Household of
Faith congregations Ill this city and
near Pei iyville, NIL, have concluded to
hold camp meeting near the latter
place to be called Susqlehanna Camp.
1t viii Commence about Tuesday, Sept.
ssh. The place of meeting will be in
MAYORS woods at the same place where
the same denomination held camp last
year commencing July 20lh. The site
is upon high hill overlooking Susque-
hanna River, which is here broad and
noble s.Ieam near its mouth, and the
railroad station is oply about one and
a half miles distant.
The camp meeting will be under the
special direction of Rev. Geo. r. Kramer,
o. this city, and curiously enough, is
rear 10 the church where he preached
with great success for three years
previously to coming to Asbuly NJ.
e. Church, In Wilmington. Mr. Kramer
having many friends there, went down
after he had formed the Household of
Faith here, and established church out
of which the camp meeting has grown.
Mr.. Krame, will be assisted in his work
bv Elders f. Burr.J. Ii. Elliott, of Phil
adelphia, j. Davidson, of Phila., and A.
A. Hoyt, of Philadelphia, and by Rev.
Miles Grant, OF Boston, Mass. 1t is
likely that the p, w. & B. r. R., will
ran an excursion train to Perryville to
take people to I'd nd the c mp meeting
services o. SUNDAY, Sep. 18th.
CAMDEN CAMP.
1t was feared that the camp meevipg
| would moi be held at Camden this year,
because The preachers in Kent counoy and
around would not take hold and help the
ma ter along unless it was promised that
no meeting would be held on Sunday.
As Sunday is the really big day at camp
meetings, the people did not like the idea,
and the preachers said they would have
nothing to do with it. But the local
preachers, are to r. In the camp at Cam
den this summer, and have announced
that it will commence on the 25th of the
present month. On Saturday the man.
aeers will hold meeting at the grounds
for the purpose of allowing those who
desire to tent during the camp to draw
their lots, and for the letting out of the
various privileges Of the grounds, such as
bread tents, horse pounds, &c.
CHESTER HEIGHTS CAMP.
The camp meetir e at Chester Heights
will commence on Tuesday, July 22d
inst. 1t is delightful place, but for some
lea OH is attended by but few people
from our city; many go from Philadel-
phia.
