$50 built we the wall; for the people
had a mind to work" ".-Neh; 4 g.
A number of tentholders and friends
of the Oxford Camp Ground met ac-
cording to appointment Saturday af-
tenoon and after consideration and
discussion of needs, it was decided to
repair and beautify the Camp Ground.
Rev. l.. NJ. Lipscomb suggested that
we give the young people of the diff
ferent communities opportunity to
share in this laud&ble work by placing
them on these committees. This was
considered a wise suggestion and was
adopted. We beg all the people re-
eardless of denominatios to please
kindly consider their claims. To put
the Camp Ground in First Glass Con-
dition. we must have at least five
hundred dollars, to secure this we
must all be as liberal as practicable.
This God favored spot is free for all
to enjoy: 1t has ever been at your
disposal There has been no restrict
mos to people using the place for
clean wholesome outings and enjoy
ment, however, the spot is sacred,
having been dedicated to God by our
forefathers fifty years ago, for the
betterment and up lift of human kind
and nothing of desecrating or sinful
nature will be allowed here if known
Hundreds have found the blessed Saw
ior here and | can think of it only as
4 trusting place for Saints, this alone
should make us loath to see it aband-
oned.
At the suggestion of our cGpGb,2
Miss Mary E. Doney, we are NEE, 3
as soon as the planting se"so0 is &C"
the last of this month and expect to
have all communities cooperate and
put in a full days work ya2der the sup
ervision of Prof. A. B. Mckay lands
cape gardener of A. and NJ. College.
We want on this day to clean up, trim
up and place proper drainage to
grounds, concrete and cover springs,
build sanitary toilets. We want a
bunch of men in the mean time to
volunteer to work at the different jobs.
Lets hear from you right soon.
Another day, we want to meet and
build fence and repair buildings.
We are very hopeful and enthusiastic
over results. Everyone has been
lovely and generous so far, All don
ations have been made without soi-
citation. Indications are that every
body loves the old Camp Ground and
want to have a part in perpetuating
f.
