shells and other relics, among which were
Cape May diamonds and Drills. We came
home, and after good wash we ate our
supper and then went over to the pavilion
where the camp Is held. The meeting Is
under the charge of Presiding Elder r. H
Adams. The sermon for the evening was
preached by Rev. Y. H. Rawlins, on the
text "We beseech now, therefore, brethren,
to present your bodies Lying sacrifice,
etc" The sermon was a good one In

twenty men in the same, and all the
women were bareheaded, except two, and
all tanning themselves vigorously. There
