"Ho! for Camden Camp" was an
annual occurrence at this season of
the year and it was answered we
might say by hundreds. Our lead
ing Methodists annually pitched
their tents on the ground regarded
as sacred from its haIlowed asso-
Citations, and the season was look
ed forward to with pleasant antici-
pations and memory would revive
its incidents months after the sea-
son had passed. Now there is not
one to do it reverence: not because
it is Camden camp ground or that
the people who repair there are not
just as pleasant to associate with
as in days of yore" but because
! they stand in changed relation
Those who want simple recreation
and pleasure, find it at the watering
places with no five o'clock bell 20
disturb their morning slumbers,
and those who went sincerely for
the religious feast, find it abso-
lutely dwarfed by the encroach-
ments of the world. The simple
habits and self denial of those who
guarded the Altar of sacrifice are
met with now as the few, instead
of formerly as the multitude. The
people of the immediate neighbor-
hood still cling to the place under
all the varying circumstances, with
a devotion that challenges admira-
ton. The meeting commences to-
day with 20 or rs tents. It will
close on Friday morning August
4th, Rev. ]. H. Caldwell will have
the general supervision and Rev. J.
A. Brindle charge of all services at
the stand. Prof. Robinson of Bal
