Closing Exercises at the Emory Grove
Camp.-This camp closed at $50 o'clock Thurs
day morning. At that hour every tent in the
grove was represented at the meeting. Rev. L.
T. Weiderman had charge, assisted by Revs. B.
G.. W. Reid L. B. Wilson and J. II. Shively.
Mr.. Shively, on Wednesday night, preached
sermon in the auditorium to over four thousand
persons from st. Johns Gospel, "God is love-"
There were twenty-five conversions from the start
ing of the young peoples meeting until the close
of the service after midnight. There have been
eighty conversions during the camp of two weeks,
some of which were old-fashioned Methodist con-
versions. Rev. L. T. Weiderman made the clos
ing address to the young converts. After the
addresses all stood up and sung "Blest be the tie
that binds our hearts in Christian love-" After
the benediction was pronounced, all bid farewell
to each other and started for their respective
homes. The committee in charge of the camp
meeting in estimating their expenses included in
the regular expenses incident to the interim, from
the close of the camp meeting until the first of
JuIy next. This, with six hundred dollars to be
paid on the debt of $4,000 and S205 interest, in
duced the committee to ask for 81 900, which was
all subscribed. Since then, the Rev. L. T. Wei
derman has taken in hand the remaining debt of
S2,4OO, and through the iberality of the many
friends he has made he has secured the entire
amount, so that those who may have charge next
year will be relieved of all responsibility, except
the regular expenses of the camp meeting, The
present management have made the camp meet
ing almost self-sustaining.

She views its conclusion with much tribuation.
She feels so much happier, healthier, stronger,
She wishes the season would last q month longer.
And the urchins, who sit on the bank catching

No doubt, when they think of it, echo her wishes.

ute one way to keep them for winter use that may
be new to some of your readers. l ate them in
February, sliced and seasoned with sugar and q
little vinegar, that seemed every way as nice as
tomatoes fresh from the vines. Dissolve tea
cupful of salt in gallon of water. Pick ripe to-

longer"
