''As to the relation that exists between
the three persons in the Godhead, they are
co-equal and co-eternal. ALI the divine
attributes found in the one are found in
the other, and in none is any attribute of
the Deity wanting. The three Persons are
one Being indivisible. The bapts-mal

WOODLAND CAMP.
and Those Interested
In Its Success.

In the spring of ISL Rev. j. w. Weston,
agitating the matter of having Il camp
meeting; but met with little encourage
ment as many thought it would he imprac
ticable owing to the large number of dis
orderly people who had annoyed other
camp meetings that were held near But
he, nevertheless, with James Barnes visited
Mrs Il. NJ Barnes to see if they could pro-
cure the use of her woods for the meeting,
which was granted. He then invited Rev.
T. +. Martindale, then pastor of the NJ. +.
Church at Port Deposit, and several of their
official members, to meet on certain day
in the woods above named, but after
thorough examination found it would not
he suitable; when Messrs. Rawlings and
Nanneman, who owned the land adjoining
rendered the use of their woods which is
the same now owned by the association. So
the first camp meeting was held in August,
1871. In the year 1872 the present land
was purchased; and became an incorpora
ton. The grounds We're cleaned and laid
out in lots and avenues; and every year
since that time a camp meeting has been
held there.
In the year 1876 the large pavilion was
built which has been in use ever since; but
this year the old roof will be replaced with
a new one.
In looking back over the years that are
past how many changes have taken place.
Where are some of the preachers who
helped us to lead the Christian forces at
these meetings Weston, Matlack,
Hill and Browne? Where are Bros Gif
ford, Jethro j. Mccullough, McMullin,
Davis, Gerry, J w. Abrahams, Perkins,
and others we might name, who were some
of the stockholders? They have gone on
ahead, and are to-day where there is per
petual camp meeting.
We will never know this side of eternity
the amount of good that has been accom-
plshed on this ground.
Rev. T. T.. Martindale, who has charge
of the camp meeting this year, was one of
the first preachers connected with it. All
preachers who have been connected with
the Association and are living within the
borders of our conference, are expected to
be present. And think one day is to be
set apart as an anniversary day. All the
old tenters should try especially to be
represented this year; and as many new
one as can possibly come. Many improve
ments will be made for the comfort of tie
tenters.
Bro. Martindale will have a strong corps
of preachers. Wesley Ewing will have
charge of the music, and will he assisted by
Prof. Gibson who will preside at the
organ.
Arrangements are being made for the
of passengers from the diff
ferent railroads, announcement of which
will be made later. The preparations to
feed the people have never been better; and
we are looking forward to our meeting with
great pleasure; and hope this will be the
best meeting held on Woodlawn Camp
Ground.-C $. ABRAIIANIs, in Peninsula

eyes like stars in the twilight late:
An maybe therc'll he some tears in mine

hunt for 'em soon an late.
That'll hook as sweet as Molly when SIZE
comes to graduate.
