The Pascagoula democrat-star., 1901-10-25
eALEM CAMP MEETING.

Editor Democrat-Star:
Our camp meeting opened Wednesday
night, 9th instant as previously an
nounced. There were only about 90 or
70 persons present in the Introductory
service, hut the crowd continued to in
crease until Sunday at IL when the con.
gregation numbered about 400.
The pastor was without ministerial
assistance until Thursday night, when
Bros. G. w. Huff and L. r. Roberts
came in. Both Of these brethren did
good preaching, which was honored by
the presence and power Of the Holy
Ghost.
Bros. G. J. Phillips, M. J. Marble and
F. w. Robinson each preached one SER
mon, all of which we're good. While, as
q matter of course, some services were
more demonstrative than others, there
was not . dull service In the entire
meeting.
The brethren who have been visiting
Salem camp ground for 25 or 50 years
claim they never saw such general in.
terest manifested. ...
The behavior from beginning to end
was splendid. The young folks seemed
deeply interested in all the services, and
especially the singing. We feel that we
owe them great debt Of gratitude for
their valuable service in song, especially
Miss Cladia Davis, who was SO faithful
at the organ. May the Lord abundantly
bless oil these young people, and may
they one of these days blend their
voices with angels in singing the song
of Moses and the Lamb around the
throne Of God in Heaven.
The tent-holders did all within the
bounds Of reasonable service to make
their guests comfortable, and we believe
this Salem camp meeting of 1901 will be
long held in sacred memory by all who
attended.
There were about 60 or 70 professed
conversions, and Christians were led tc
a higher and more consecrated life.
There were only four accessions to the
church, but nearly everybody belongs
to some church.
The last prayer was prayed and the
last song sung Monday morning, The
14th inst, and the people turned their
faces homeward, many with renewed
resolutions to live closer to God.
