EPW0RTH PARK.
Great Preparations for This Years
Assembly.
The Old Camp Ground and Its Meetings.
Lectures and Glasses Other Things
of Interest.

Each year since the old fashioned
camp meetings were begun in the wood:
at Burr's Mills, art has added something
of beauty and comfort to the grove unit
now it would be difficult to find anywhere
place where the freedom and pleasures
of sylvan life can be more completely en-
jOyed with the discOmforts of such life
put out of sight. The first meetings al
that place were purely religious. Men
and women came together simply to ex-
change religious experiences, and to in
woke the power of the Holy Spirit on the
unconverted. Life there was filled with
the greatest inconvenience Nearly every
one camped in canvas tents or canvas
covered wagons. A one-story shanty
with a shingle roof, was thought snob-
bish. People slept as uncomfOrtably as
in sleeping car. Rain poured through
the roofs, and washed the ground away
beneath. Rude benches without backs
did duty for seats. Light was made by
huge fires on platforms raised on posts.
Improvements in the methods of living
gradually crept in, but with the growth
of camp meeting, the ungodly element
came in, and soon the assemblages were
influences rather for evil than good. The
idea was then started of making the an
nual gatherings miniature ChautauquaS.
This idea has taken, and this year the
visitor to Epworth Park will find that,
while all is done righteously. yet the old
idea of revival service pure and simple,
has been abandoned, and the Intellectual
side of Christianity presented in its stead.
The Assembly opens Tuesday, August I'd
and continues in session twelve days.
These twelve days are packed full of en-
tertainment. Glass work in numerous
branches will be carried on. Lecturers
of prominence and ability will give the
result of years of observation and study.
Practical Bible work, New Testament
Greek, art, travels, miscrOscopy, aStrono-
my, physical culture, will all receive at
tentiOn. Dean Wright, of Boston, Rev.
E. Eaton, of Wisconsin, Rev. ID. II.
Moore, of Cincinnati, Prof. French, the
chalk talker, Rev. w. L. Davidson, will
all be present and lecture. Professor
Weldon will conduct chorus. Miss
Lucy Curran will conduct an art
class, and Dr. Manchester class in
Sunday school work. On Grand Army
Day, Major General Oliver A. Howard,
Commander of the Department of the
East, and Hon. John A. Bingham will be
present The Guitar and Mandolin Club,
of GAINESVILLE, will give several concerts.
Other attractions are too numerous to
mention.
Ample Accommodations have been pro-
vided on the grounds, and no one who at
tends will be disappointed of rich and
profitable fortnight in the woods.

Why Camp OutP

A party of Bridgeporters will go into
camp somewhere along the Tuscarawas
river this week. They are going to do
the thing in the right manner. They
propose to have rules to which all must
agee. Their tents will be large, and sup
piled with carpeted floors and spring
mattresses. No liquors will be allowed
in camp. A piano will be placed in one
of the tents. Why not stay at home or
go to a summer resort hotel at once
With all its enjoyable discomforts elm
mated, camping ont " is stale matter.
