AaYhlia Ndulpineeting Of l9ll is among
the incidents of the past Itdeceased on
Monday morning amid the throes of the
few who yet fingered in rnournfu1 reverie
over its departed glory. 1t has been a
grand success. viewed from every point,
financially, socially and spiritually From
financial standpoint, there has been re-
ceived S2S7 gate money, with the amount
received from the sale of the privileges.
Enough to liquidate the expenses Of the
camp and surplus that may be applied
to other church purposes Socially it
has been a success, in that it has brought
together friends separated for a year or
more, and renewed the acquaintance of
others, and with some of brighter days
Spiritually it has been more than was
expected. Long since, 1.-THE idea of the
campmeeting at Lavinia assuming a re-
ligious turn was abandoned and the en-
joyment given overtO sociality altogether.
But this year there have been good meet
ings, and fifteen persons have professed
conversion. We have sized up the per-
sonHel of this camp, not en- masse, but
individually, and, we think to have one
yearly is worth the time to many More
particularly do the women enjoy them
We have reflected over some who have
been here during this camp, who are here
at all camps, who were raised here, or
hereabouts, and we have thought how
they have labored and saved during the
past year to accumulate plethoric pocket
book expressly for the expenses of this |
meeting, and how they will dig and delve /
another year for the same purpose. Am /
/ getting metaphysical on the subject
Perhaps l am. But it looks this way to
me. But the camp is over and really,
personally, l am glad want to be gem
erous, and see others enjoy themselves,
but do not care for campmeetings. It
IS scarcely necessary to remind the tenters
and those present on Thursday that Rev.
Artemus Belts, of Dagsboro, was an inn
portant factor in the services of that
morning; and those further off who do
not know the gentleman will care nothing
about it. As is usual in the breaking up
of a campmeeting, there are many sor-
rowful people, and on Monday morning
our folks were not mad "jes felt bad. -
Their enjoyment was over, and the ter
rible truth stared them in the face that it
was. Again to the battle, Achaiansl"
A rain stopped the services prematurely
on Sunday evening, about 10 O'Clock. I
When the lightning began to flash and q
the thunder to rattle, the people COM
menced to skedaddle some within the =
tents, and others did not stop until they
reached Milton. An automobile from 9
l4ewes broke down on the causeway dur
ing the night and one lone man was sit
ting init, keeping guard, when we passed
it the following morning It was hauled
over the causeway and out Of the way
when the work Of moving in began. This g
was the only accident or casualty of any =
kind that we are aware occurred during a
he camp.
