Camp Meetings.

The subject of camp meetings in
general was suggested by printed no.
tees last week, announcing a camp
meeting to be held in the Methodist
church in this city on Sunday. This
was simply an announcementsof ex-
ira services and intended to draw
the people to the house Of worship.
The history of camp meetings would
make an interesting chapter. These
gatherings of the people for rellg-
ious worship, once SO popular, and
which usually occurred at about this
season of the year, have been dimin-
lshing in number of late years, until
they have almost ceased to be known
in this part of the country. Several
meetings of this kind used to be held
annually in Wisconsin, but none have
been noticed for this year. One
reason perhaps why camp meetings
have ceased to be common is that
church edifces have become general
and furnish the necessary accommo-
dations for indoor worshippers.
Another reason for the discontinue
ance of camp meetings is that they
were often taken advantage of by
disorderly persons to create disturb
ances. Regulations for preserving
order are much more easily enforced
in a church building than on camp
ground An old fashioned camp
meeting, such as was common sixty
years ago, would be novelty to
people of the present day. Judging
from the newspaper descriptions of
the camp meetings which have been
held yearly at Des PLANES, ILL.,, and
which are now in progress, a good
specimen of the old-time camp meet
ings may be seen there. There ap-
pears to be quite number of wor-
shippers at that place who are re-
solved to hold on to the practices of
their forefathers and indulge in what
appears extravagant in this later Pc
Rod. The Chicago papers which
publish what is said and done at the
Desplaine camp meeting, we think
give too large space to what is OBJ
jectionable, and which may be charge
able to only the few and not the
many who worship there. Camp
meetings have not always been pecu-
liar to Methodist churches; Presby-
terrain camp meetings were known
many years ago. Doubtless in the
early history of the country meetings
of this kind were productive of good,
but there is no probability of their
becoming popular again; times have
changed and public sentiment is not
the same as of DID,

Religious Life in Germany

Attention observers of religious
life in Germany discern a single
phenomenon which is assuming
more and more alarming proper
tons. On the one hand. statistics
show that ecclesiastical habits are
far from being lost, SO far as con-
Germs participation in traditional
acts and ceremonies. At Hamburg
where there is the largest number
of non-baptized children, it was IN
1885 only 81 out of every 10000;
at Berlin, five out of 10000; in the
whole of Germany, one; in Prussia
II per cent, amongst the Protestants
and I6 per cent amongst the Cath
olics. In the census of 1871, those
who registered themselves as pro-
Tossing no religion, amounted to
16o8o; in 1880, to 3o,24o; and in
1885 this number sank brusquely to
11,o75. In Prussia, in 1885, the
number of religious marriages was
90 per cent that of mixed MARI
ages, II per cent; in 3S per cent
of the cases the husband was Pro-
\testant and the wife Catholic. No

The Grand Lodge of F. and A. M.
of the State of Wisconsin at it's forty
fifth annual communication held
June nth and 18th, 1850, in the city
of Milwaukee, took a stand on the
subject of temperance which does
that body great credit and should
result in the greater elevation of this
benehcent order P d. G.. NJ, N.
C. Gifhn, from the Committee on
Temperance Legislation, presented
the following report, which was
unanimously adopted:
To the M. ". C. Lodge Of the State
Of Wisconsin,:
The Special Committee to whom
was referred that portion of the
M. w. Grand Masters address relat-
ing to the cardinal virtue, "Temper-
ance," unanimously report: They
have had the subject under consid-
Grafton, and are in hearty sympathy
with the sentiments SO ably ex-
pressed in the address; and believ-
ing that the time has come when
this Grand Lodge should let itself be
heard on this important subject, in a
voice that has no uncertain sound,
we recommend the adoption of the
following:
Resol0ed, That hereafter no person
who is engaged in keeping saloon
or selling intoxicating liquors to be
used as a beverage, shall be initiated
into any subordinate Lodge in this
jurisdiction, nor shall any Mason
who is SO engaged be received in any
Lodge by afiliatlon
Resol7ed, That it is hereby made
the imperative duty of all Lodges in
this jurisdiction to exclude from
Lodge and ante-rooms all intoxicat-
ing liquors
ResolUed, That the Incorporate use
Of intoxicating liquors is hereby de-
clared to be a Masonic crime,- and it
is hereby made the duty of all
Lodges to restrain the same as far as
possible by trial and punishment.
