This Year and the List of Speakers
Are All That Can be Desired.
So many Bridgetonians are interested
in Pitman Grove Camp, that anything re-
lating to it, is eagerly looked forward to.
A good deal of the property there is con-
trolled by Bridgetonians, ,andrnany make
their homes in the cozy little place DUR
ing portion of the summer.
The Pitman Grove Camp Meeting for
this year of grace, will commence Tues
day, July Both. The morning and after
noon services of that day will be under
the leadership of the w. c. T. u, of this
State, which will endeavor to rally the
for greater and more efficient service than
in the past. Good speakers will be Sc
cured and the cause ably presented.
At night the service will be in the inter-
est of the Anti-Liquor League of the State.
DR.. Lawson, Of Camden, president of the
league, will make an address. He is
strong man at the wheel, and all in the
Grove should hear him.
Wednesday, July 31st, the Epworth
League of the Camden District, will have
a grand rally for the whole day. One day
each year is given to this worthy institu-
ton of the church, and the days interest
has been well sustained in the past; and
doubtless the present year will be no ex-
ception, but in all respects be fully up to
the profitable meetings of past years.
Two days, and only two, are each year
! given to specialties outside of the regular
Camp Meeting services, and these are al
ways the first two days of the camp. No
| interest, however important and great,
whether church institution or one fos-
tered by some individual or corporation,
can come in after the Camp Meeting
proper has begun.
Pitman is distinctively present, free
and full salvation Camp Meeting, and ex-
perience has taught the management
that the immediate conversion of souls
and the sanctifcatien of believers is best
promoted by a steady, continuous, un-
broken effort at that particular calling
and work of Pitman Camp Meeting.
