MILTON NEWS.

On every hand the spirit of activity
busy preparing for the coming camp meet
ing. The camp ground is being cleare
off and put in order; old tents are bein
repaired, new tents are being built, and =
shall we say it-a spirit of commercialisu
is predominant in the camp meeting, a
well as in almost all other things, TIL,
prevailing idea is to make money, as wei
out of camp meeting as out of anything
else. There are twenty-six tents on tn
ground not so many as there were las
season but this number NAV be increased
within the present week. There hav,
been days set apart as special DAYS o
worship, or booming a propaganda, foi
different organizations. We have beer
asked by the contractor of the Miltor
Water Works, when is Water Work:
Day I'm going South and want to be
back by that day." We will find outsand
let Mr.. Conwell know, for a Water
Works Day" will be as pertinent at a re-
hgious camp meeting asis any other spec
ial day set apart for a secular order.
The NJ, p Sunday School and its many
friends made an excursion to Rehohoth
on Wednesday, The day was ideal. lust
enough wind from the ocean TO mitigate
the heat of the land; and the excursion
lists were happy. What we like to see is
what we did see, on this day.. and many
times before, i. E., the spirit of brotherly
love that obtains in a community. The
pastor of the NJ. +. Church, his highly
respected wife, and part of his congre-
CATION, joined with the excursion, and
divesting themselves of cult, creed and
ecclesiasticism enjoyed the pleasures of
the day as only they can who are freed
from petty jealousies and trivial animos-
tiles.
We took walk this morning in the
vicinity of 'Violette Cottage, " the subur-
ban home of w. W. Conwell, contractor
for the Milton Water Works system. It
had been some time since we were there;
and we find many Improvements that
Mr.. COnwell has made. Contrasting this
place with few years ago, one is made
to think truly the wilderness has been
made to blossom as the rose" Mr.. Con-
we'll has done much for his suburban |
home, and tillthere's more to follow.

Our street lights, and all lights that are I
tended to be generated by the Royal /
