rHE REPORT published recehtiy
in our columns concerning the
Pennsylvania state convention
of the Methodist Episcopal
church to be held in Har~
rlsburg in October, recalls the
further fact that at the last session OIL
the wyoming conference in Oweso' ~
Y, the members of said conference
resident in Pennsylvania approved the
following appointees as delegates
Revs. C. NJ. Gihin. ]. b. Sweet, w. u
Simpson, w. II. Pearce, w. l.. Ihorpe'
NJ D. Fuller, G. A. Place, II. b. Bene-
dict, A. j. Cook stephen Jay - n
Eewing, J. N. Lee, John Bradshaw, W.
II. Hill and A. f. Chaffee. This Is
convention of ways and means ana
the delegates also must consider ways
and means Of getting there.
Both Wyoming and Salem camp
meetings are now closed for the sea-
son, At the distance of but Few Gays
we cannot determine final results, buy
this is sure, Wyoming has taken on
new lease of camp meeting life and we
venture the statement that more IN
quiries from our city churches for cot
tages. tents or boarding facilities will
be made this coming year than Tor
many years of the past. While posi-
bly, some disappointment may be evil
dent concerning the number OF CONVEX
sions, nevertheless it's spiritual atmos-
phere has been delightful. Better ser
mons were never preached in the goou
old camp meeting times than were
preached from the platform OF the
camp this year. Dr. Griffin followed
Nf q
hortation and an altar service. His
energy and enthusiasm contributed
largely to this series of successful
meetings.
Salem camp meeting, while not pos
sibly so largely attended as in some
former years, enjoyed such excellent
services that the concensus of opinion
is decidedly that of success. Rev. j.
+. Warner, the presiding elder, and his
excellent wife know how to plan and
to execute. What has been planned
under such safe conduct we are not
surprised that the whole of Honesdale
district is expressing itself as anxious
TO make old Salem a camp meeting or
helpfulness to pastors, churches ana
people.
Dimock camp meeting is now In
full blast" We do not mean by this
that said meeting is running on or by
wind but that it is now at the height
of its annual success. This camp is
located at Dimock, near Montrose, ana
is generally conceded as the old-fash-
ioned meeting of the camps of Wyom-
ing conference. The supreme measure
of camp meeting enjoyment is here
discovered so that comparison with all
others brings out the statement: "Well,
YOU ought TO go to Dimock II you want
to know what a camp meeting is ike.
DR. Floyd, so well known in this city IN
that he has been pastor OF It's three
leading churches, is the presiding elder
having the meeting in charge and IT is
worth journeying to this summit of
worshpping happiness just to hear the
doctor introduce his preachers to the
assembled audiences. We venture the
prediction that in results, the tirs'
principles of camp meeting life anc
labor, Dimock will he second to none
I'D at Sidney on the line of the Del
aware and Hudson beginning on Tues
Gay next, another camp meeting vii
be held. This will be under the dua
direction of Presiding Elder Hal o.
the Oneonta district and Presiding Ell
der Hayes of the Chenango district
This meeting is sufficiently late 81
that all belated camp meeting attend
ants can be fully accommodated will
a feast of tabernacles. This meetint
will conclude the series of camps with
in the bounds of Wyoming conference
Rev. +. L. Miller, formerly pastor o
the Trinity Lutheran church, in this
city, is now at the head of the larges
congregation in Williamsport wher'
he is one of the most popular clergy
men. Rev. Mr.. and Mrs Miller hav'
been spending the summer at Cap
May.
Rev. David Spencer ID. D., of Blake
ly, and Rev. S. G. Reading, d. d,
of the North Main Avenue Baptis
church, Providence, will exchange pull
pits tomorrow evening.
