The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1917-08-07

put OH the GROUNDS. WIN the ponce
protection we've had 1t has been
hard matter for evil-doers to get by.
There is doubt that many were at
tracted to the campmeeting today to
hear DR.. Bysshe They We're amply
repaid for coming. Never has camp
meeting crowd heard more thrilling
description of war conditions in Eu-
rope. Dr. Bysshe has had wonder
full experience and knowing condi-
tons he is able to give at first hand
just the information that we Ameri-
cans need to know, 1t is sure thing
that what our country is up against
was brought closer to the people here
today than ever before, On account
of the failure of Rev, l. l.. Pickett to
show up for the afternoon service DR..
Bysshe was called upon for an extra
address, Fact is after hearing his
first address the people clamored for
more about the war. And so being a
willing Methodist preacher he didn't
object to being worked over time. In
the afternoon his sermon was made
of personal experiences which you
may know were very interesting.
Again this evening he addressed
tabernacle full Of people, the closing
service of the campmeeting, We never
had a campmeeting close just as this
one. Instead of an appeal for people
to come to the altar for conservation,
the appeal was made for the people to
take this war proposition seriously,
and to realize that 1t Is as much our
war as 1t Ia that of the Allies. AS q
slight appreciation of DR.. Bysshe a
voluntary offering Of one hundred dol
lars was made to take care of scho-
larship for one orphan in France for
year, DR.. Bysshe spoke to more
people in the three services than has
any other preacher here within our
knowledge.
We will not attempt to tell even all
of the Maysvlle people who were
here today. The woods was full of
them. 1t was dandy crowd and no
mistake. 1t is pretty sight to ait on
our porch in the second story Of the
Old Kentucky Home and watch the
moving crowd,
So far a. we can learn Prof. c. s
Dale had the banner crowd to serve
dinner to. He had just even fifty al
dinner. Say! How much chicken de
you reckon that crowd could con-
sumo?
At the close Of the meeting every
song book belonging to the campmeet-
ing and lot borrowed from the Third
Street M. e. Church were sold. A
new song book will now have to be
placed in the home church. The
music has been the best ever this
year. The Association never was so
pleased with a musical leader as they
have been with Rev. Ragan. No won-
der the song books sold like hot cakes.
Rev. Raglan took the opportunity at
the closing service to thank the choir
and all for their hearty cooperation
in making the music a success. The
Representatives Of the Maysville choir
came in for special mention. They
have starred In solos, quartets, sex
tets, and have been the moving force
Of the chorus. One of the best num-
bers of the campmeeting was sex
tett sung at the morning service to-
day. Two numbers of the Easter
Cantata 1.-THE Lord of The Easter
tide were sung in such manner as
to draw applause from the crowd.
The Board of Directors meets Mon
day morning to wind up the business
affairs Of the meetings. The improve
ments TO be made during the year will
be discussed.
And now we are at the close for
another year. We can truthfully say
that the campers all appreciate the
space allotted by the Maysville papers
TO these notes day by day. There Is
always a clamor for the papers and
when the mail Is little late the pa
per 10y Is besieged with anxious In
