Observation-Disclosures


Its Big Debt Wiped Out Before Laying
the Corner Stone.
After every penny of the SIC, 600
lacking to make the necessary amount
had been pledged duiing the day, the
new $67, 200 Auditorium of the Ocean
Grove Camp Meeting Association was
dedicated last Sunday night. More
than eight thousand persons took part
in the ceremonies, which were accord
ing to the ritual of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church. Strange to say, the
cornerstone Of the Auditorium has not
yet been laid, and those ceremonies are
reserved for the last day Of the meet
ing. This fact is due to the conscien-
tious Methodists' aversion to debt
laden place of worship. The promoters
of the Auditorium are all going to have
their names on the cornerstone, and
they had no idea of taking chances on
posterity reading their names under a
building for which debts were still
owed.
Bishop s. Z. Bowman presided over
services in the Auditorium Sunday
morning. Seated on the platform with
him were Bishops Fowler and Walden,
State Senator Bradley, of Asbury Park;
State Senator Skirm, Rev. DR.. Stokes,
the officers of the Camp-Meeting Asso-
citation and fully two hundred minis
ters of various denominations. The
three bishops spoke on the beauty of
dedicating a church which was free
from debt, and Bishop Bowman, as
Rev. Thomas Hanlon, Charles Fl. Vat
man and Gen. John G. Patterson took
their places by the blackboards on the
platform announced that so much
money had to be raised, and called for
subscription.
Rev. DR.. Stokes subscribed $500 for
himself, and followed 1t with a like
amount for his wife. Senator Skirm
seemed anxious to give, as did Senator
Bradley. How much to subscribe
worried them, for each had pnt his
name down for 81 900 last year. Finally
Senator Skirm said to his colleague:
"I'll give the same amount that you
do. How much will you give?"
Mr.. Bradley shouted out 'sPut Mrs.
Bradley down for $780," Mr.. Skirm
gave $500 too. Others who subscribed
$500 were Judge Lovett, Of Tarrytown,
and A. H. De Haven, of New York. |
During lull in the proceedings Mr.. |
Yatman handed DR.. Stokes an envelope |
containing a one-dollar bill. Accom-
panying it was a note which read:
"This is the last and only dollar have
in the world" When the note was
read to the multitude there was a cho-
rus of amens and hallelujahs. At the
conclusion of the services the clerks
announced that $I2, 300 had been sub
scribed.
In the afternoon Rev. DR.. Hanlon,
who conducts a Bible class of 1,50O
members, announced that he wanted
81, 900 from his congregation. In
short time the whole amount had been
pledged. Eight thousand worshippers
were present at the evening meeting.
A song service and responsive Scrip
ture reading preceded the regular SER
vice. Bishop Charles H. Fowler, of
preached, taking for his
theme Ambassadors for Christ.
After the sermon DR.. Stokes made a
final appeal for subscriptions, and be-
fore the service clio: ed the last dollar
to free the building was subscribed.
Then followed the dedication Of the
