The plan of charging a regular adj
mission fee has not proved altogether
successful at negro camp meeting
near Marion, Ohio. Brother Hart had
just made fervent prayer, and was
laboring zealously among the mourners,
when the six members of the finance
committee reminded him he had climb
cd over the fence instead of entering by
the gate. They demanded 10 cents for
himself and 10 more for his wife, but
he refused to pay, and they dragged
him of the grounds. He and his wife
armed themselves with clubs, knocked
the ticket-taker away from the gate,
scattered the opposing committee of six
linanciers, thrashing the presiding min
lister himself, and resumed their work
among the penitents.
