will be the guest Of Miss Marie Duzan
for several days
Rev. Reynolds, an evangelist Of the
Southern Methodist Church, from Mt.
Sterling, was visitor in camp during
the day.
Miss Rena Mae Coryell Of Spring
dale, arrived this afternoon to camp
In her favorite place-the Kentucky
Home.
Mrs. w. A. Wood, Mrs. Sam McNutt
and son, Clay, and Miss Lena Walsh
were out this morning to visit their
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Walsh.
Mrs. Walsh has been i'll for few days
but Is now much better.
Those champion quot players from
last years campmeeting who were
strutting around as IL they owned the
whole shebang are wearing very de-
jected looking countenance these days.
The whyfore of this is the appearance
on the quot field of two big preachers,
Bunton and Overley with set Of reg
ulation, three-pound quoits. After two
days playing they came In smiling
this afternoon not having lost sim
gle game up to the present minute.
But just wait until those erstwhile
champions find their batting eyes and
locate the "home plate" they claim
therell be a different tale to tell. So
we're assured by one of the defeated"
H. Carr Pollitt.
Late in the afternoon message came
calling Rev. E. R. Overley to Ger
mantown where his wife and child are
very sick. Rev. Peters at once offered
his services with his auto to take
Brother Overley to the besidside Of his
family If it is possible Rev. Overley
will return to preach Sunday after
noon. Rev. DR.. Bunton will take care
of the young peoples service In his
stead tomorrow afternoon.
The closing service Of the day, the
evangelistic service was the browning
service of a good day. The tabernacle
was we'll filled with people. DR.. Bun
ton preached a powerful sermon to
highly attentive audience. 1t is espe-
cially noticeable this year that the
crowds remain for the whole service
instead Of many leaving at the close
of the musical part Of the service. This
is as it should be- 1t certainly shows
lack of respect for part Of the au-
dience to leave the tabernacle after
the song service.
J.. R. Currey supplied Rev. Overley's
place in the campmeeting quartet
which sung by request the popular
quartet 1.-The Church in the Wild
wood"
Ruggles Campgroupds, July "a. -
This is written just after the first SER
vice of the campmeeting a few
hours after our first letter. And what
change has come over the camp!
This afternoon we were all anxiously
awaiting the first service hoping that
good start might be made. Well 1t
is now over and our fondest hopes
have been more than realized. OF first
Importance of course is the evangelis-
tic service led by DR.. Bunton. Near
two hundred people came to hear him,
and it was the most attentive and re-
sponsive audience we have ever seen
at the beginning of a campmeeting
DR.. Bunton used the words OF God to
Moses Certainly will be with Thee"
as his text and emphasized the great
truth that God would be with us and
give us success in the campmeeting,
but without him failure would be
ours. The second contributing factor
to the brilliant opening was the way
our little new singer T. B. Ashley took
hold of the singing and put the real
pep" into It. Ashley is a new man at
Ruggles and if he keeps up the pace

winner with his pleasing personality
as we'll as his ability to make folks
open their mouths and sing. Then
there was our pianist, ]. Robert Cur
rey. We have had such excellent piano
players in recent years in the persons
of Miss Mcclellan and Rev. H. e.
Trent that many wondered II the new
pianist would measure up. He has
done that very thing. Then Ashley in
sisted that we have a male quartet.
e. R. Overley, H. Carr Pollitt. ]. H.
Richardson and Ashley were called In
to service, got together for about five
minutes for rehearsal and at the ser
vice produced a fine, well-balanced
quartet that called for the commenda-
ton Of those in charge. At the close
of the service Superintendent Daven-
port called the writer aside and re-
quested us to say through the press
that we had the most encouraging be-
ginning for good campmeeting he
had seen.
The first Sunday crowd will have
the opportunity of hearing two of the
most popular preachers the Methodist
church In Kentucky has produced
Revs. G. W. Bunton. D. D., for the
morning service, e. R. overley for the
