RUGGLES CAMP
(By ]. H. RICHARDSON
Ruggles Campgrounds, August /

Itu6SieS SdinpSIouuuS, August L.
The campground was visited by
quite a severe storm Saturday after
noon. For about fifteen minutes 1t
seemed that the wind would blow
every thing away. Then it rained, and
rained the whole afternoon, making
the grounds miserable. Not only that
but 1t put out of commission the
pleasures of the usual Saturday eve
ming crowd-there wasn't any crowd
Several campers were caught out on
pleasure trips when the storm broke,
coming to the campgrounds later wet
as cold rain driven by ferocious
wind could make them. Tenters who
had improvised kitchens by hanging
curtains around their porches had
them blown and torn. Ruggles Is the
finest place anywhere only when 1t
rains as 1t did Saturday and then 1t
is about as uncomfortable place to
be as one could think of. However,
Sunday morning dawned with a pros
pect for good day The grounds soon
dried off and the people came in the
usual numbers toward noon and the
afternoon. So that this Sunday after
noon has witnessed fine campmeet-
ing crowd who are enjoying them
selves to the full.
The Sunday services have been un-
usually good. Amidst the damp cool
ness of the early morning hours few
devoted worshipers assembled for
early prayers. This meeting was led
by Mr.. Richardson At a. m. Mr.. ].
R. Hinton led in praise and testi-
mony service At 1890 Rev.. Humble
preached strong sermon on the sub
iect of "Visions" Rev. Davenport
preached at 2:30 and Rev. Humble
again in the evening. The evangelist,
ministers and workers are all optimis-
tic at the outlook for the success OF
the campmeeting. The coming week
looks good. With Rev. Humble preach
ing such sermons each evening, with
such a fine choir, led to the best serv-
ice by Bro. Ashley, and with the fine
spirit being manifested by the camp
ers there should he splendid results
