expect this condition to grow
better instead of worse.
Again, too many parents are
too poor or too rich to come into
that personal communion with
childhood that is necessary to a
pure life. Some shirk their re-
|sponsibility and some are unable
to discharge it. They expect the
school to do too much. If the
school would try to teach the
boys and girls about those func.
lions of life to them yelled in Sc.
crecy and mystery, which they
constantly try to penetrate, il
might do more harm than good.
If we insist that the father
should teach the boy, we find
that in many cases there is nc
father, or he goes to work at 8
O'Clock in the morning and gets
home at in the evening. In the
struggle for existence he has lit
tie disposition or opportunity to
do his duty. Mothers are often
similarly situated.
Among the wealthy the child is
not oblivious to what goes on
around him, and the home in
which the supposedly gentle form
of gambling in bridge parties and
tipping in wine suppers are GO
ing on is not without it's evil in
fluence on the child.
But, then, there are so many
causes, too many to elaborate up
on here; but until we get back to
the plain principles of common
honesty, purity and decency In
the ordinary affairs of life, and in
sist upon them in business, in
in society, we cannot ex-
pect any different result than
that horrible condition disclosed
by the investigation in Detroit.

BEFORE JOHNSON
CITY WAS BORN.

In the early part of the last century
a large portion of Tennessee was an
unbroken Wilderness, but as fast as
Nolachucky Jack and other daring adj
venturers drove the sayages back to-
ward the sun set the MethOdists took
possession of the country to spread
"holiness over the lands.n All who
sought to flee from the wrath to GOMEZ
were invited to unite with them and ii
soon became the leading body of relig-
ious peoplei in the country. The ferVent
zeal and vital piety of preachers and
people often led them to hold outdoor
meetings, and they had many encamp-
ments all over the country where zeal
Gus christians would meet and dwell
in tents for week or ten days at a
engaging in solemn worship. Among
these encampments they had one call
ed Brush creek Campground. Its site
is now inside the corporate limits of
Johnson City. The big shed and adj
jacent tents stood a little southwest of
the White Elephant and across the
street from the Hippodrome. 1t was a
beautiful situation for an ideal encamp-
ment nesting in a dense forest of tall
and majestic white oaks. The roads
from Jonesboro, Elizabethton and 9TH
er points all conveyed to the place,
and it was easy of access from every
direction. DevOut christians for miles
around had brought building material
and erected family tents on the ground,
At the time appointed for the camp
meeting the christian citizens would
load up their wagons and take their
families and provisions to the camp
for ten days of religious worship. The
most eminent preachers like Creed
Fulton and Ebert Sewer were always
there to expound the gospel that brings
salvation to sinful world and point
out the straight and narrow way that
leads from earth TO heaven.
But the prince of this world in The
meantime had not neglected his Oppor
tunity. In the summer of 1910 grea
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1909-01-21

camp for political meetings. This led
to friction and serious division in the
church that was never permanently
healed. Henry Ruble, faithful class
leader and exhorter in the church, de-
clared the evil one was at the bottom
of it and if the camp was so desecrated
by political debauchery God would
curse the camp for such .wickedness.
However, the rally was held and pro-
tracted for several days and nights.
Young and full of life and always on
the outlook for fun attended it. They
had a log cabin mounted on wheels
and lot of coon skins nailed on the
outside of the walls This was to teach
the sovereigns the humble life Gen.
Harrison had lived on the frontier
trapping coons and selling the fur for
a support for himself and family.
On the inside of the cabin was a bar
rel of hard cider for speakers and camp
followers. The cider was mixture of
about twenty gallons of cider and ten
of brandy to each thirty gallon barrel.
The brandy was added to preserve the
natural aroma of the apples in the CT
per and was free for all to come and
drink without money and without
price. Among the speakers at the raj
lywas the Hon. Leslie Combs, of Ken
lucky. He was man of fine personal
appearance and an eloquent speaker.
1t was interesting to hear him describe
the great battle of Tippicanoe where
Gen. Harrison with All inferior force
had almost annihilated the Indians.
And then, on the other hand, when he
hurled bitter invectives against the
"artful lodges of Undertook " thu
people fairly shouted for joy.
On the outskirts small punches o.
men were gathered playing "olC
sledgen for cash stake, and buncf
of boys standing round observing thu
game and taking their first lesson il
gambling and drinking to enlarge thu
class of future criminals. Owing to tn
division in church councils the yea

not well attended, but in 1912 excite

mentl had worn off largely and there
Was fuller attendance. While the
services had actively engaged the wor-
shippers one night northeast wind
blew up dark and angry looking
cloud which settled down over the
camp, reminding one of the pillar of
cloud that stood over the Hebrews OH
their journey from Egypt to Canaan.
Suddenly bolt of electricity 1eaped
from the cloud to one of the tents. In
the door of this tent there was stand
ing at the time Miss Mary Taylor,
daughter of Gen. James P. Taylor, sis
ter of Hon. N. G. Taylor, and aunt of
Senator r. l.. Taylor, The other per-
son in the door was young Mr.. Mil
Ter, of South Carolina, who was then a
student of Washington College. When
the lighting struck the tent the whole
camp seemed to be enveloped in Il
flaming sheat of electric fire. A num-
Der of men and women were shocked
but recovered. Thus in moment In
the twinkling of an eye these two
young and happy people with love in
their hearts and laughter on their lips
were carried on the lightning's wing to
the far away home of the soul. Death
must have been instantaneous. Not a
word, sigh or a groan escaped either
of them, but the entire camp was daz-
ed and bewildered. And now, do you
ask if believe il was a Judgment of
heaven to fill the prophesy of Ruble
and his associates? and my answer is |
do not know. After the lapse of sixty
eight years | have never been satisfied
in my mind to take this dreadful trag.
edy out of the domain of mystery. The
people differed then just as they will
now. Some said it was the voice OF
God speaking out of the cloud and 9th.
ers said it was simply coincidence
governed by the natural law that
moves the currents of electricity in the
earth. The divine Teacher told his
disciples so small athing as a sparrow
should not fall to the ground and per
ish without notice OF the Father. But
on one branch of the subject there il
no room for doubt. The whole Metho
dist church from the catastrophe o
lS4O.2 set their faces against liquor ant
never gave up the battle. The noble
old soldiers of the cross have long since
