that II this spot was the divine
choice that God should further the
enterprise. Later, when he proposed
going to the fisherman who owned
the land, for the purpose of buying
the necessary site, he was told that
it was no use, as the fisherman had
declared he would not sell foot of
it, but Mr.. Osborn Enthusiastically
remarked that if God Almighty
wanted that land he could either
kill the old man or make him will
ing to sell it.
"He went and told the fisherman
in his frank, straightforward way
what his plan was, and, moreover,
that if he knew what was good for
himself he would sell him that land
before he left the house-and the
fisherman did"
with an example like that before
u.s." remarked another follower of
the Osborn principles, "do you think
we will retreat from the stand they
took when the Grove was founded?"
A few survivors of that first meet
ing in the tent on July 81, 1869, still
remain, and they give graphic de-
scriptions Of what took place there.
The Tents Of the Righteous
Osborn, rugged, stalwart figure
of q man, with hair and beard like
King David" had been fired by an
ambition to establish some haven by
the sea where in summer members
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
could pitch their tents, hold camp
meetings and enjoy their simple rec
reations "free from fashion and
folly and the corrupting influences
Of worldly life"
The National Holiness Camp
Meeting movement, q movement
which believed in the complete sane
LITIGATION on earth Of Christians who
lived in harmony with the Lord, was
then sweeping through the country,
and Osborn and others were filled
with a desire to promote it as much
as possible, although, as it turned
out, complete sanctifcation" did not
become primary object of the
Ocean Grove association.
A "child and lover of nature"
Osborn believed holiness could best
be promoted in Goods natural tenn
PIES" and he dedicated himself to
founding a church by the sea.
A wave Of religious fervor, which
had been fed by great revival meet
ings, favored the undertaking. The
Rev. Mr.. Ballard, who was one of
the first to join hands with Osborn
in his project, admitted years after
ward that the zeal which he gave to
the Christian cause was inspired, to
a large extent, by the Rev. Lorenzo
Dow, name that was once famous
in the nation.
Dow believed in spectacular
methods, and his appearance in the

Fashions Barred
But if there was departure from
the original scheme in this respect
lh, determination to exclude "fol.
lies and fashions" was rigorouslv
adhered to.

Of the association, the Central Rail.

proposal to run a few "cheap ex.

Grove, but DR.. Stokes frowned on
this "desecration" of the Sabbath
and the plan was abandoned.
The prohibitions in the Book Of
Discipline against card playing.
dancing and other worldly amuse.
ments were, of course, scrupulously
enforced, and still are.
AS the camp meeting grew in
popularity the rude preaching
stand under the trees was sup
planted by an auditorium; this was
succeeded by a new and larger
building, and this by still another,
until now the association has =
structure which can seat 10000
persons and contains one of the
largest organs in the world. As
new needs developed, too, temple
and a tabernacle were erected, and
houses and hotels sprang up within
the enclosure.
James A. Bradley, a Methodist
and an early attendant at the serv-
ices in Ocean Grove, saw an op-
portunity of starting a new resort
where the laws were not so strict
against amusements, and he found

Soon vast throngs were going

beaches to the north and south Of

but Ocean Grove held rigidly to its
laws against worldly amusements.

as to whether the Executive should
be compelled to observe the custom =,

The discussion came to the ean
of the President, who solved the !,
problem by announcing that, as !.
head of a nation which prided itself
on observing all laws, he would, Of
course, conform to the regula-
lions, which he did. Presidents
Mckinley, Taft, Wilson, Roosevelt
and Garfield were visitors to the
camp at various times, although
none save Grant happened to come
on Sunday.

The scene was desolate one,
holding no hint Of the great colony
that was to spring up there and the
animation that was to result from
it. Circling the sand waste on which
the tents rested was a tangled

pine logs were cut on which to place
the boards, straw was scattered on
the ground and little rudely con-
structed stand was erected in the
midst Of nearby clump Of trees
for the preaching.
The Ocean Grove Camp Meeting
Memorial Association was formally
organized, and in view Of the dis
putes that have since arisen as to
the right of the members to enforce
the "blue" laws it may be interest
ing to give excerpts from the origi-
nal charter. The preamble ran:
Recognizing the truth and beauty
Of the Scripture declaration, The
Garth is the Lords and the fullness
thereof;
"And being especially impressed
with the propriety Of having a por-
ton Of the land skirting the sea
consecrated to sacred uses;
1--WE, whose names are hereunto
annexed, with single eye to divine
glory and in humble dependence
upon our Heavenly Fathers aid, do
hereby solemnly covenant together
to use certain land, which has been
providentially committed to our
trust, for these high and holy pur-
poses.

Mrs. f.. III. Potter,
Niece of Bishop.
Sued by Butcher
r. Weber Brings Action
to Recover S8.OO3, Said
10 Have Been Awarded by
Judgment Here Last April

An unpaid butcher bill for $4,000
yesterday caused Richard Weber, pro-
vision dealer. to start supplementary
proceedings in the Supreme Court
against Mrs Emily Havemeyer otter, of
780 Madison Avenue. Mrs. Potter is
the daughter of the late H. O. Have
meyer. the sugar king, and wife of Ed
ward Clarkson Potter, nephew of
Bishop Potter.
The case was started in the Supreme
Court, before Justice Donnelly, in 1917,
and resulted in the returning of judg-
ment for $8,00335 in Webber's favor
last April. Since that time efforts to
collect have proved vain. The judg-
ment was returned unsatisfied on De
cember 19.
Mrs Potter said last night she knew
nothing about the case, and refused to
comment on it. She failed to appear
when the proceedings began, but was
rs)rescnted by Walter j. Moore, of Is
William Street
Mrs. Potter's bill began to run up
with amazing speed, starting in March,
1915, according to Webber's attorney,
William NJ. Sullivan. The accounts
showed that as much as S57 worth of
victuals had been ordered in one day.
while $50 and $40 days were common.
For five months, starting with April.
1915. according to accounts displayed
by Sullivan, the butcher bill of the
Potter household ran like this:
