WHEN THE EARTH ROCKED.
campaigning. Scene at the Time +.

CamP-MeetinE Scene at the Time of
Charleston's Earthquake.
There is something uncanny about
an earthquake shock" said a gentle
man who had experienced seismic dis
turbances and the terror caused by
them. The sensation" he continued.
caused by the Quivering and rocking
of the earth thrills every fiber of
person with awe. l saw this forcibly
illustrated at the time Charleston was
wrecked. That earthquake shock was
perceptible throughout Georgia, being
especially noticeable in the middle
earthquake there was a Methodist
camp meeting in progress at Bluff
Springs, near Zebulon. There was a
great crowd at the meeting, and the
people didn't seem to be in a very re-
ligious frame of mind to me. The
preacher delivered an eloquent sermon
on death and the judgment. and at its
close converts were invited to the
altar. But the people didn't take kind
ly to the invitation, and only three or
four went up to be prayed for. The
minister begged the people to come
forward, but his appeals fell on deaf
ears. Back some distance from the
stand the young people were chatting
as unconcernedly as if the issues of
time and eternity had not been pre-
sented to them. The minister seemed
to be discouraged by the GOODNESS of
his hearers, and was on the point of
closing the service. But just as he
was about to say, Let us pray the
first slight shock was felt. In an in
slant everybody around the stand be-
came as still as death itself. Faces
blanched and eyes were opened in ter
ror. No one at first seemed to realize
what had caused the earth to rock as
if in spasm. With the coming of the
next shock. however. some realized
what it meant, and the cry of Earth
quake!' was heard. Hardly had the
dread word been uttered when there
was a rush for the mourners' bench.
l never saw such a stampede in my
life. In less time than it takes to
write the altar was surrounded by
hundreds who were dazed with terror
anu ylH6 OA IhC Lulu III n
| third shock came while those fright
ened were at the altar and it came
near throwing some of them into con-
| vulsions.
THE minister was the only one who
seemed not to be frightened, and he
began praying in tones that had
quieting effect on the people. But it
was hours before calm was restored and
fear banished. The quivering of the
| earth had something so uncanny about
it that the people were ready to be-
lieve that the end of time was at hand

to the appeals of the preacher. fleeing
