and around. but never get any nearer
heaven. He quoted the Apostle at
length, as given in the Epistle to the
many professed christians in all the
churches are back-biters.
He would say to them Judge not.
He applied Paul's words ss the test,

are drawing to close. The amount
of good done cannot be estimated.

others. and the instruction impaired

position.
The health of the eottagers, general

the woods is promotive Of good
health, and the situation for camp

said that the camp has not been by
