very best and most enectlVe Ser
vices of the camp. Miss Hurd tells us
that she has about a half hundred OF
the most interesting and responsive
little folks and they are just having
the best of services. We are sure this
is true for we hear of many Of the
little folks who can hardly wait until
1880 D. m. comes they are so anxious
for each service. The Board made no
mistake when they secured Miss Hurd
for this important position.
Then those fine mothers meetings!
What glorious times these elect wo-
men have each afternoon. Mrs. w. ID.
Hendrickson of Vanceburg, has gener-
al oversight of these meetings. ms
afternoon one of Maysville's best
mothers, Mrs. c. s. Dale, had charge of
the meeting and we are told that 1t
was one of the best meetings OF the
year. At this service Miss Lillian Muse
sung a very fine solo.
Mr.. j. R. Hinton led the early de-
votions. At the morning worship hour
Rev w. S. Peters, the popular pastor
of the Third Street church, MaysVllle'
preached the sermon. Brother Peters
was first made known to campmeeting
folks one year ago, and through the
sermon he preached at that time he
was sought for as pastor OF Third
Street NJ. E. Church. His sermon was
a real feast to the soul. Many were
kind enough to say that 1t was one
of the very best services Of the pres
ent campmeeting. OF one thing we are
sure: Members of Third Street church
have no reason to be ashamed of their
pastor; he is making good, not only as
preacher and pastor, but as secre-
tary of the Campmeeting Board of d.
rectors.
| At last our young peoples leader
Rev. ]. B. Mahaffey has taken charge
of this part of the compmeeting SER
vice. My! but he is whole storm !!
After a rather fullsome introduction
by his superintendent ]. NJ. Literal he
came forward and dived right into the
service with all the vigor of his big
responsibility. He had not spoken a
dozen words before he had his whole
| audience with their keenest attention
riveted upon his every word. After
hearing him this time we can freely
predict for him a crowded tabernacle
every afternoon.
| A friend in reminiscent mood has
brought to our attention that 30 years
ago our piano man F. F. Gerbrich
brought with him to campmeetine
John l. Salisbury, Will Holmes now
of Augusta, Perry Rudy and G. W.
| Geisel in the same old wagon that
he brought the piano to Ruggles the
other day, driving one horse. All are
still living except the poor old horse
Looks like the old wagon was entitled
to a vacation.
Guess it will do no harm to tell who
those two hatless campers are-those
fellows who fed the campmeeting goat
with their new straws-the Rev. G. w
Bunton, DID,, of Dayton, Ohio, was one
of the boys and yours truly was the
other But they are proud guys" this
afternoon. Through the courtesy ano
kindness Of that prince of good fel'
lows, George Frank, both are sporting
handsome new, up-to-date straws
And, believe us, no goat nor any othel
animal be he four-legged or two-leg
ged, is going to get his claws on thos'
hats.
DR.. Bunton received wire today OF
fering him Chautauqua date at Madi
son, Ind, for next Sunday with yer!
liberal compensation. 1t was an at
tractive offer but the Doctor is having
to fine a time at Ruggles, so he immed
lately wired the Coit-Alber people t,
substitute some one else in his place
However, he is to fill several Chau
tauqua dates during his summer va
cations, going as far west as Iowa. o
course we all felt easy when he de
cided to stay with US over Sunday. S
we can say to all who contemplat
coming Sunday you will hear DR.. Bun
ton at two services. And you will mis-
great treat If you fail to come an
hear him.
