antee of good time, for things seem
to center here for the pleasure OF
those seeking outdoor recreation,
broad grassy lawns, grand old trees
where the breezes love to play, pictur-
esoue views from every direction and
cordial host and hostess to greet each
conner. A vote of thanks is due Mr..
Temple for the use Of his cars and his
own services in assisting this class
of forty ladies, to reach the place OF
meeting, all had arrived by ten o'clock
and the morning was spent in informal
greetings and social conversation;
With sharpened appetites all hailed
with delight the call to that crown'ng
glorv Of Picnic, the basket luncheon.
In merry mood all gathered round q
table loaded with dainties and enjoyed

church Notes and Comments
Mrs. A. r. Galloway.

Lafayette county. 1t now bids fair
to be a community center and the
pride and joy of all our citizens
young and old.
There is however, a vast deal more
to do. We want to put in two or three
more days work before Camp Meeting
the End Sunday in August. We are
very much encouraged over results,
both in labor and finance. Each
group of workers seemed to vie with
the others. A number of our women
and girls worked like "Trogans" and
provoked the sterner sex to laborious
action.
We discovered this day that we have
at least two gospel ministers in this
country, Bros. Lipscomb of Oxford
and Torrance of Hopewell. who are as
capable in example as in precept, lead
ing out and helping very materially
during the entire day. Blessings on
the preacher whose calling and ex-
perience places him amongst the peo-
pie instead of fixing as it were a gulf
between them.
We heartily thank all for their
beautiful cooperation and splendid
work and feel that we will have the
biggest and best camp meeting this
year that the people of Oxford and
adjacent communities have hither to
known because so many have invested
in this good cause, the blessings
accrueing from same must naturally
be manifold. Our funds are still
comming in, we have new and graft
flying list this week, read it.
The old Camp Ground made new is
now more than assured, so please
everybody keep quiet while we women
folks sing our f&vorite song, ~ told
you So"
We will tell you next week more
about what we propose to. do, and
where your generous donations will
be placed.
With heart full of love and thanks
giving to each of you and to the
father Of US I'll your humble servant.
