CLOSE OF ADVENT CAMP MEETING.
West Baldwin, Aug. 11--Today was
the closing day of the Advent camp-meeC-
| ing and the day was all that could be de-
sired. Besides the many teams that were
continually arriving from all dlrectlohs'
a special train brought many people Irolll
Portland and way stations SO thai a1
noon it was estimated that there were
three thousand people present and IL Is
safe to say that two thousand were there.
1t was impossible for all to be seated a1
once. The attendance this year has peen
better than ever before and the accommo-
dations have been better, the new board
ing and lodging house being greatly ap-
preciated and largely patronized. The
morning discourse was given in an elo-
quent manner by Rev. Jesse Gay OF Sa3o,
from John 3. Sc. The speaker was easily
heard all over the grounds and received
close attention The other meetings OF
the day We're interesting, the afternoon
sermon being preached by Rev. h. H.
Tucker Of Chelsea, Mass. NO expense or
|
interesting and there is no reason why
the grounds will not become famous IN
the near future as place to hold such
meetings. Good order prevailed during
the day, for SO large crowd, only one
thing occurring to mar the day.
Quite party of Portland people are
stopping at N. d. Harris cottage.
