Rev. S. X. Breeding began a protract
ed meeting last Sunday out at Mount

A few days before he began the meeting
he took out tent, spreat it under the
tall trees close to the churrh. Then he
came back to town, got wagon, took
some of his household and kitchen plum
der out and he and his family are there
living in that tent as costly as one could
wish. lie did all this so quietly that
but few people in town knew of it or
about it until he had gone. Mr.. Breed
ing tells me that when he holds pro-
tracted meeting in the country, that his
custom has been TO take his family with
him and camp near the church. lie
finds great ,leal of comfort in il, besides
he can take his needed rest, and study
undisturbed. He said also that one OF
the best revivals of religion he ever held
was conducted under surroundings OF
this kind. People came from distance
and camped there and the interest in the
meeting in little while was such that
the whole neighborhood was awakened,
and great religious revival was the re-
suit. TIE situation struck me as being
rather suggestive II in the present in
stance few of Bro. Breeding's members
from town would go out to Mount Zion
for a few days and show disposition to
help him, how much he would be en-
couraged. But this cutting away from
the busy world, If only for few days is
the trouble. Mount Zion is historic
old spot. Some OF the cleverest and best
people in the world live around there.
They are not gaudy and foolish, nor
hurt with pride, but they are plain and
substantial folks that one likes to mingle
with.
