Ruggles Campgrounds, July 30, 1920.
A kind providence seems to have re-
served some of the finest weather of |
the summer for Ruggles Campmeeting
If it only continues. This has been |
day when 1t is great to be alive and |
out in these big woods. The camp
meeting boss" District Superintend-
ent Davenport arrived about noon II
just a little too late to start services |
for the morning. After taking in the
situation and noting how busy folks |
were moving in he thought it best to
have the opening service at 1880 this |
evening. The camp has filled up very
rapidly today. Not many unoccupied
cottages remain. A very noticeable
fact about the campers is the large
number of children. This is a sure
enough "kiddies" paradise And no
class of campers has better time,
A number of ministers have arrived.

| The first campmeeting service for
this year was held this evening at 1880
with Evangelist Humble in charge.
There was an unusually good. atten-
dance for the first service. At the hour
of meeting Rev. Ashley with a good
sized chorus launched right into a
rousing song service. Then Superin-
tendent Davenport made a few intro
ductory remarks and announcements
relative to the campmeeting. Before
the evangelist was present Rev. Ashley
sang q very impressive solo "The
Pierced Hand" Rev. Humble's sermon
was very practical, opening sermon
fraught with suggestions that must
work to the success of the campmeet-
ing. The evangelist has a splendid
voice and strong personality and
physique back of It, He will have nc
trouble in making himself heard, and
yet his voice is pleasing to hear.
A big first Sunday is being planned
for. OF a surety the crowds will hear
good preaching and good singing
Evangelist Humble will be the first
Sunday preacher, and by that time q
large well-trained chorus will be pre-.
pared to sing. Services for Sunday
will be at the following hours:
Morning prayers at $50; Praise
service at 9 a. M, morning worship al
1880; afternoon sermon at 2:30; eve
ming evangelistic service at 1880.
For the first time the tabernacle
floor Is covered with saw dust insteat
OF straw. We have sure enough "sav
dust trail" The price of straw is Sc
high that the board decided that al
they had such supply Of saw dus
they would use It. The change is very
satisfactory. We believe folks will like
II better than the old way.
