Camp Ground Notes.
The school of methods conducted by
Mrs. Buel yesterday morning, was one
OF great interest to those engaged in
temp erance and phlanthroplc work OF
every description. proportional and
Systematic Giving" was the subject.
The school developed the fact that in all
the great philanthropic enterprises to-
day, the want was not laborers in the
seld but means to support them-more
candidates for the missionary fields.
than there was money to send
them; more laborers in the temperance
work than the people were willing TO
support; and the excuse was that "they
cannot afford it," The old law required
ona-teDth, and the law thou shalt love
thy neig hbor as thysef required more
than tails, and the excuse to the de-
mands OF God and humanity was, I'VE
can't afford it,"
The remedy was the plan OF systemat-
ically laying aside one-tenth OF the en-
tire income for benevolent purposes,
and the systematic proportionment OF
this among the different objects to be
aided. No one could possibly realize
the benefits of such q course until tried
and all christian workers were earnest
~ urged to give this plan a trial, for
limited time, at least.
Short addresses were made by Mrs.
Buel, Mrs. Pugh, Mrs. Sisson, Mrs.
Hamilton, Mrs. McCiukin and Mrs.
Scott, for many years a missionary to
China, who contrasied the iteraiity of
the heather with that Of the Chris
tians OF this country, and in proportion
to their ability the heather are far
ahead OF the Christian people of this
country.
Several gentlemen also INDUCED in
remarks, and altogether the session was
profitable and interesting.
On Thursday the Physical Culture
class will take place at $50 and the
school Of Methods at 1890. The sub
jsct will be the Relation Of the w. c.
T. L. to the Political Parties" This
promises to be a very lively meeting.
AT 2:3O Rev. Ward B. Packard will
speak on "GOod for Nothing"
At p. IN. the third and last sterop-
tican lecture will be given.
A change OF programme has been
made by which W. w. Gibbs will speak
at 2:3O D. N. and John &. Wooley at
40 D. IN. This change has been made
al the request Of many who desire to
hear Mr.. WooIey who cannot be here in
the afternoon. A train leaves the
grounds on Saturday evening for Wheel
ing at $3.50.
Rev. Ward B. Pickard spoke TO good
audience in the afternoon, and though
the weather was very warm they were
very attentive. His subject was 'Halt-
baked Cakes" After speaking of the
ancient method OF baking bread, while
II was necessary to turn the bread be-
fore it could be cooked through, he
proceeded TO trace a likeness between
the different classes of people who, in
the various forms of the day make loud
professions Of fidelity with their
mouths, but when the critical moment
arrives are not to be found. Who pro-
Tess the principles advocated by the
church and the temperance forces, but
do not consistently illustrate their re-
forms by their lives.
Some would denounce intemperance
and the saloons, and yet would patron
ize the parks and beer gardens con-
trolled by these people and used for the
purpose OF drawing trade.
Many Of the half-baked people of the
day contain, like the half-baked cakes,
all the elements necessary TO perfection,
but they needed the fire TO bring out
their good qualities. II they could all
be we'll done before the fall election
the temperance cause would make
gigantic stands before the year closed.
He made an appeal TO all TO aid by keep
ing the fires hot and pushing the people
up where they could feel the heat.
