Ruggles Campgrounds, July q. -
To the Reverend G. N. Jolly, D. D.,
of Bellevue, KY, one of our most be-
loved and honored campers for many
years, was given the honor of preach
ing the opening sermon OF the l922
campmeeting. At 1890 Thursday
morning q good-sized audience was i'll
the tabernacle ready for the first
hours worship. DR.. Jolly gave US
sermon. For the first time our camp
meeting opened with strong sermon
on patriotism. DR.. Jolly is always in
teresting, And as he told about the
greatness of our nation coupling this
with our immense responsibility to-
ward the saving of the world we felt
as never before how much depends
upon our beloved land. More of such
sermons are needed to awaken our
poole to a full sense of their response
bility and opportunity.
Rev. w, s. Peters, popular pastor of
Third street church, Maysville,
brought afternoon message, and Rev.
A. F. Felts, of Vanceburg, the evening
sermon. Both were fired with zeal for
the success Of Gods cause as 1t shall
be advanced by the services of the
present campmeeting. Those attend
ing have been in very encouraging
numbers for the first day.
The camp is rapidly filling up. The
campers have been coming in all day.
Many new faces are showing up. Man
ager Peters is being kept busy assign
ing campers to their places and find
ing room for transient visitors. With
the additional equipment on hand we
are assured that all who desire to
come can find accommodations.
Rev. Thos. B. Ashley our musical
director with his family arrived this
afternoon from Pikeville and are
again comfortably sheltered in the
Lane Inn. This is Bro. Ashley's fourth
year to lead us in song. His popularity
as a sono leader is established with
Ruggles campers.
Mr.. A. A. Kenner, of Newport, well
known to many of our campers, but
who had not visited Ruggles for some
time, arrived this afternoon for stav
with old time friends and to enjoy the
camp life.
Mr.. John Venn, representing the
Methodist Book Concern, of Cincinnati,
arrived this afternoon with big sup
ply of the best books published. He
will open up his branch store in the
Children's Chapel tomorrow. He comes
upon the invitation of the management
of our Epworth League Institute. For
an institute calls for many books
which can be gotten only from the
Methodist publishing house
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. w. Pollitt and
daughter arrived this morning and are
occupying one of our best cottages.
Rev. ]. H. Burden, Of Wallingford,
Joined our increasing corps OF preach

Rev. John Lowe Fort, of Trinity M.
E. church, Louisville, who is to be the
Dean and leading spirit in the insti-
tute, wired Manager Peters today that
he and his family would arrive tomor-
row, coming through in an automobile.
Mr.. d. Paul Glascock, of Maysville,
and Mrs. Norwood, of FIT. Myers, Fla,
were among the days arrivals.
There is a different feeling at the
beginning OF this campmeeting. Most
everybody is looking forward to next
Monday the day for the institute. This
change of program has been talked
about so much and so widely adver-
tised that people are just anxious to
see what 1t is like. Dean Fort has
called a meeting of his faculty for
Saturday evening to plan finally for
the coming week. All who come Sun
day will hear definitely what is in
store for our people for next week.
Let us again remind our readers Of
our Sunday preacher, DR., Miller, From
what we have heard Of him we feel
that we are justified in urging every
one possible TO come on the first Sun
day and hear him.
