Ruggles Campgrounds, July 30. -
When we" campers heard the patter Of
| rain on the roofs this morning We
were SO elated that we were afraid to
move for fear our hearing had deceiv-
ed 1t was a glorious shower. "Show-
ers OF Blessing" had at last come. We
have been told during the day that the
faithful women in their own meetings
have been praying for rain. Good for
them! In prayer and testimony during
the day the Heavenly Father was
given thanks and praises for the show
ers. What we would have done today
never have wee seen so much dust at
the old campground. Well, everything
looks good now. The dropping spirits
of the campers are revived and the
outlook now is excellent. Some people.
may have remained away from camp
meeting on account of the rain but we
needed rain more than big crowd. A
fine crowd came during the afternoon
and services were well attended. The
sermons of DR.. Miller both morning
and evening and that Of President
Ezra T. Franklin of Union College,
Barbourville, were all excellent. No
better preaching could be heard any
where. The praise and testimony
meeting at $3.50 a. m. led by J. B. Hin
ton was one Of great help and comfort
the best We have had of the kind for
several years. The few who got out
early through the rain for the prayer
service led by Rev. Griswold were
abundantly favored for the effort.
Starting the day right goes a long
ways towards making the day a good
one.
