CAMP BROKEN
MONDAY MORNING
AT old RUGGLES
One Of the Most Successful Years in
the History Of Ruggles Campmeet-
ing Came to q Close Monday.

Ruggles Campgrounds, August A.
Just few more words need to be said
about the closing of the most success
full campmeeting In many ways ever
held at Ruggles. The closing service
was in the nature of a platform SER
vice, several speakers taking part. AT
ter an inspiring song service, and be It
said to the credit of the chorister and
choir, there was no slackening of the
splendid work of the singers until
the very last service, Miss Hurd was
introduced as spokesman for the chill
dren. She told in neat little speech
OF her work with the children, how
many Of them had taken a definite
stand for Christ, and that the work
was very effective. The Mothers were
represented in a fine address by Mrs.
o. G. Raglan. Rev. Ashley sang Can
the Lord Depend on YOU. Rev. W. 8.
Peters was presented as the spokes-
man for the young people which he did
In his usual impressive way. The
Campmeeting Association and Board
OF Directors were represented In a
short address by ]. H. Richardson
Following this Rev. William Jones, D.
D., one of the oldest Of our ministers
who has been attending for many
years, and who expressed himself as
feeling that this would be his last year,
was given the platform for talk DR..
Jones was highly complimentary in
his remarks for the splendid manner
In which the campmeeting had been
carried on this year. He believed the
spiritual results would be lasting. The
chcrister, Brother Ashley then took
charge for the closing moments. He
had the choir and congregation form
circle from the choir platform near
ly to the rear of the tabernacle, clasp
hrids AMI sing "Blest Be the Tie That
Binds" Then in a few we'll chosen
words he expressed his appreciation
Of the hearty cooperation Of the choir,
the pianist and the cornetists, and es-
pecially Miss Lillian Muse who had so
ably assisted him In singing so many
beautiful duets. 1t seemed that the
people never tired of hearing these
.wo singers. Their singing was de-
cidedly the hit of the campmeeting
music. The final benediction was then
pronounced by Superintendent Daven-
port, good byes were said and another
,ampmeeting had passed into history.
The Board of Directors had their f.
nal meeting this morning. Business
Of the present campmeeting was
closed up and plans for next year was
considered. The Superintendent were
given full power and authority to Sc
cure the very best in the way of talent
that could be had. The work of Dr.
Brnton has been Of such high charac-
ter that the Board feels that the high
standard set must be maintained. BY
vote Rev. Ashley will be
asked to take charge Of the choir
again next year, and Miss Hurd the
childrens work. This action of the
Board will meet with instant approval
by all who know the excellent work
these persons did this year. A Rules
Committee was appointed to formulate
a set Of rules based on the constitu-
ton, have same printed on large cards
to be tackled up on the trees about the
camp so that no one need be ignorant
Of the rules obtaining during camp
Joseph P. Warder was re-
elected keeper of the grounds. 1t was
decided that all talent should be ar
ranged for by the March meeting of
the Board, also that the hotel privilege
be let at that time in order to give the
one securing the privilege to raise his
own vegetables and in other words
make the necessary preparations to
conduct the hotel in the best manner.
1t Is the intention of the Board to do
much improving and possibly some
