The Methodist says: 1.-THE camp-meeting
season is upon US, and 1t may be hoped that all
concerned will use their best endeavors to make
1t productive Of the greatest possible amount of
good, with the least of harm. 1t will be well to
recognize the fact that, except In the most se-
cluded rural districts. the camp-meeting Of fifty
years ago no longer exists, and that what we
now have. while 1t bears the name and the ira
ItiOns OF It's ancestor, has really developed into
quite another thing. Our new-fashioned
gatherings in the groves or by the seaside-for
rest and recreation-pOssibly in part for gossip
and display. with very mild infusion of re-
ligfOn-Or else for the promotion of some spec
ialty-must not be looked to as to any consid-
cradle extent among the evangelistic agencies
through which souls are to be saved. AS an in
expensive device for summer outdoor holidays
with the accompaniment Of religious restraints
to guard against dangerous excesses and OF re-
liglOus exercises for agreeable and not alto
gether improbable pastimes, these gatherings
may have their use. Let these be carefully
conserved and little further either expected or
aimed at"
A correspondent sends the following to
THE STAR" Is it not too bad that the ladies of
Loveland camp ground led Mr.. Harrison to be-
lieve that they had given to him that which they
had only lent to hm-and that conditionally, too,
to be used as they choose, and not as he would?
And is that not pretty slow, mercenary spirit
which dispOses Of that which Is worth $500 for
$500? Ali Mr.. Harrison is certainly slow. slow
on the money question if that is the best he can
do. The ladies evidently have much closer
eye to business than the evangelist has, 1t is
to be hoped that the bishop who is now to be
favored with the present will be so thoughtful
as not to occupy, as it might be the intention f
the ladies to displace him in the midst Of his
occupancy, that they may give to another whose
turn it may next be that which they present to
him. We are glad to learn that Mr.. Harrison ia
coming this way. The last time The STAR told
US anything about the dear preacher he was
away off in Minnesota. We have no cottages
here to give him. but we care more a great deal
fOrthe man than for cottages or $500 either. viii
The STAR please extend our sympathies-
where?-well, where they are most needed, and
our congratulations to Mr.. Harrison that his
trouble is Of SO slight character"
