We have been to Woodlawn camp inject
ing. At at early hour On Saturday morn
ius we started for camp via Rock Springs,
Rowlandsville and Port Deposit. Driving
leisurely along. viewing the country and
noticing the iino crops we arrived as the
latter place about eleven O'Clock. Here
We bad an elegant dinner at the Fxrmers'
Commercial hotel, and after looking oyer
this enterprisinG little town for an hour or
SO, We started Cor, tho camp ground, at
which place we arrived Just in time to
hear the gong ringing for after1oon SER
vices, which were in charge Of Rev. G. B.
Chase, of LspoEt, Delaware, who had the
whole attention OF tho audience for almost
an hour. He is man of good personal
appearance, and an able speaker. The
woods in which the camp is held is q tract
Of abou. fourtesn acres of hickory, oak
and chestnut wood, close by what is
known a Bsttle Svamps, and is really q
very desirable place for camp to bo hold.
The woods are clear of underbrusb, and
the trees are not 50 numerous as to pre-
vent driving between them. The tents,
seventy-six in number, form 2 square
around tho pavilion which is structure
some forty by sixty feet, with an awning
of some twenty feet. Above the pulpit,
printed On muslin, are the following
mntt,es To the right, Come unto Ne
all ye that are heavy laden and will give
you rest" In the centre. Holiness to
the LOrd.'' To the left, The blood of
Jesus Christ, His sou, cleansetlls sous from
all SIM"
The pavilion is at the east end Of the
square which the tents form, and on the
west is the tabernacle, large canvas tent
open all around and covering some hun.
dred feet Of ground, which is cSvercd with
clean crisp straw, as is also tho ground
under the pavilion. Tho tents are all
clean and white and are very nicely fur
. nished each ono apparently trying to excel
tho other. There arc also two large board
ing tents where accommodations arc am
pie. Tho confectionery is large and COM
mOdiOus, part Of it set of entirely for the
accommodation of the ladies'. The facili-
ties for feeding horses on tho sfOunds arc
complete.
At six O'Clock, p. m, tllero was expert
rience meeting in the tabernacle conduct
cd BY Rev. Stengle. At eight o'clock 4

chap. Is, verse 81. He is an eloquent lit.
tic man, who hold tho audience for about
forty minutes. Tho evening prayer meet
ing was in charge Of another minister 4;
five at the altar aud three CONVERSE 0ns.
The crowd at the camp was not rs large
az it usually is ON Saturday. After camp
ing out in true camp Style, We awoke in
the morning in time for breakfast, and
then walked around until six O'Clock, q.
m.) services, which were conducted By
Rev. BiggA Experience NEE ing at
eight O'Clock was very earnest
and interesting. and there was pueach-
ing at ten O'Clock by Rev. II. Sten.
gle. BY this time thcro were at least five
thousand people on the ground and still
coming in from every direction. The or
der in the enclosure aud around the ground
was excellent. A great feature Of this
meeting was GhO fact that though 10 one
appeared TO have charge Of the grounds,
everything was quiet and orderly. This
is the 18th annual camp that has been tcI,
On these grounds and they always appear
