Some of our worthy M. E. Church mem
bers left here a few evenings ago to visit
National Park Holiness Camp. They
would not purposely visit Washington
Park, but while waiting for car to take

music that they decided to go in and listen.
The result was the music was SO fine, the
audience so attentive and respectful, and
everything so very agreeable to their taste
that they decided not to continue their
journey to the camp meeting. Next day
they heard what dreadful things the minis

ington Park in particular and they said,
'1Well, we saw no harm in our visit, and
they ought not to have the car so near such
allurements.o
