Y was the result OF the camp meeting The
camp meeting is now over, and we are
\ again in status quo.
! Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
f Thursday of last week were the hottest
days of the summer thus far The ther-
+ mometer ranged from 900 to lO0o and
Wednesday afternoon was, perhaps, the
hottest of the four days. On this after
noon workmen quit their work on account
of the heat, and this they had not done
previously. These were dull days al the
camp meeting in fact, the camp meeting
has been rather mediocre, with the ex-
ception of the two Sundays. Last Sunday
was fair day and many were in attend
ance. The day was moderately cool in
comparison with the first part of the week.
On the first Sunday of the camp there
were 126 automobiles on the ground at
one time, and thirty in an adjoining field.
Last Sunday, it is estimated, there were
$50 in all. The gate money was Sl23. 90.
The camp, although it was somewhat
dull during the week days, increased IL
interest as the end drew near. Spiritual
| ity entered into and became a leading
factor on Sunday. So interesting were
the general services on Sunday that they
were continued during the afternoon,
and preaching omitted. There were
four conversions during this day, and |
seven conversions during the camp |
People of the camp meeting are general |
ly satisfied with the result, and the COM
mittee is especially elated with its sue
cess fl6l.OO being the proceeds of the
meeting.
