GAINESVILLE, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, MIDI
August 5, 1884 {
Sunday was the first day Of the GAINESVILLE camp
meeting. The camp is in a very good place-the
ground Is high and rolling, the atmosphere salu-
brious, the coppice has been removed, and the
woods present an inviting appearance. A great
circle and the seats are arranged III the style OF
ampn1theater. The camp on Sunday teemed with
people, Washington, Baltimore and Frederick
having numerous representatives. This was due to
the good management Of the Rev. c. w. Walker,
pastor, who made arrangements with the railroad
company securing rOund-trp tickets from the prin-
cipal stations on the line.
The services on Sunday were very interesting
and attended with the best OF order AT 9 a. m.
love feast was held, and at II Rev. D. f. Wise
man, OF Washington, preached from Titus ii, H. H.
very able sermon, which was listened to with
marked attention. AT p m. Rev. S. r. Hughes
preached from Matthew, xviii, 6, on the subject OF
the resurrection at which time the people crowded
around the stand and listened to the speaker with
careful heed.
The Independent choir OF Mount Zion church,
west Washington was present. and was led by Mr.
A. Dorsey, while Miss Mamie Dayd presided at the
organ.
