Reproduced from the Boston Daily Globe, August 9, 1897.
I < Dr.” William J. Camp, arriv
ed in Boston, on Sunday, the 8th of
August, and the Boston Daily
Globe of Monday morning, August
9th, gave his picture, and the fol¬
lowing account of the “Walking
Evangelist’s” trip and purpose in
visiting the city.
The Globe says :
Curious people drift into the
Globe office every day. Yester¬
day “Dr.” W. J. Camp, a I ( walk
ing evangelist,” came in to report
that he had just arrived from Prov¬
idence.
He is a singular looking man,
with a weary, tramp-like appear¬
ance, dusty and travel-stained.
He professes to be an interpreter
of the prophecies of Daniel, and he
is a bit of a prophet himself.
The Globe’s picture shows the
evangelist in full walking trim,
with his knapsack on his back,
and in his hand a great illuminat¬
ed scroll, with which he elucidates
the prophecies ; also his long staff,
which he uses on his long tramps.
He is very deaf, and he has
weak eyes. He walks with ease,
albeit his motion is very slow. He
has been a sufferer from rheuma¬
tism , and a complication of diseas¬
es, but since he started out “in obe¬
dience to God’s mandate to preach
the gospel,” he says all his physi¬
cal ailments have left him.
He is a tall, spare individual,
with a melancholy countenance, ex¬
cept when lighted up during a talk
on the prophecies, and he lives on
about 10 cents a day.
He is very sure as to his call to
preach the gospel, and he has no
doubt whatever as to his interpre¬
tation of the prophecies of Daniel.
He has studied the Bible with a
view to the absolute elucidation of
those mysteries which have engag¬
ed the attention of theologians lor
centuries, and he claims to be act¬
ing under the direct inspiration of
God.
As Boston is to be one of the
seven principal cities to be destroy
ed, at the second coming of Christ,
the “walking evangelist” has
tramped on here for the purpose of
giving the city a warning as to its
fate.
He don’t know at this moment
just how Boston will be destroyed,
but he thinks that most likely the
hub will be visited by an earth
quake. He is now looking up the
prophecies on that point, and if he
gets a chance to speak here he
give his hearers the latest informa¬
tion possible.
SAYS HE’S BEEN TO HEAVEN.
Evangelist Camp used to be
Baptist preacher in his
days, but he left the Evangelical
fold and wandered off after Bob
Ingersol. Two years ago, in the
Rocky Mountains, over the Divide,
he says God met him in a vision
and commanded him to go
and preach the gospel of
Christ.
He speaks of this vision
the utmost respect as the
point in his life. He gave up
Ingersol and accepted Jesus
i i I was entranced,” said he,
sixty hours, and during the
of that time I was out of my
which lay in a cave in the moun¬
tains. I went to heaven and found
It a real country with birds, fruit,
grass, flowers, water, and all things
beautiful and lovely. > »
The evangilest doesn’t remem¬
ber exactly what took place during
his heavenly visit, except that God
issued his edict as to the walking
tour. The evangelist doesn’t know
how he got back to his body, but
he found it all right where he left
it in the cave.
Spirit and body again united, the
evangelist started for Denver, Col.,
and immediately prepared himself
for his peripatetic mission work.
He has walked through twenty
four states and the district of Co¬
lumbia, covering nearly 5000 miles
in’about eighteen months on the
road, making an average of twen¬
ty-seven miles a day. He drinks
no intoxicants, uses no tobacco in
any form, and eats no meat. He
lives on bread and water, occasion¬
ally, however, taking a little tea
or coffee.
He is sixty-three years of age,
but walks as straight as a bean¬
pole. His clothes are of the poor¬
est description, but his coat and
hat are ornamented with crimson
signs.
On one arm he wears a star and
on the other a cross. These rest
on dark patches of cloth which are
sewed on to his slevees. On his
hat also is a cross made of ribon.
He says he is a member of the
order of the Crimson Cross and
Star, which is typical spiritually of
the coming of Christ.
He does not claim to be an edu¬
cated man. He has studied medi
cine, but he refused a diploma.
He says that he has been engaged
in 129 “avocations, callings, trades
and professions » » but since God
sent him out to preach the gospel
he has abandoned all mundane
work.
He has traveled through the
south, and says that he found
the people very ignorant. The
south, he says, needs national
schools, free books and compulsory
education. The mining regions of
Kentucky and West Virginia, he
says, are in an awful state of igno¬
rance and poverty.
He speaks favorably of Pennsyl
vania, New York, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, and Massachusetts,
so far as he has seen them, and
says that the country looks in a
prosperous condition,
HAS $1.44 CAPITAL.
He is very anxious to talk in
Boston on the prohecies of Daniel,
and their fulfillment in the fifth era.
His sad, gray-bearded face and
weak eyes became instinct with
life as he uttered the following
j prophecy : “All the nations of the
! earth will pass away during the
j next the kingdom 25 years, of and God in will their be set place
up
on the principles which Christ
1 taught on earth, love of man for
man. This will be the era of the
brotherhood of man and the fath
erhood ot God. Seven of the prin
{ cipal cities destroyed, of the world and destruction will be ut
terly
will come to the kingdom of Satan. y y
The evangelist, from careful ob-
servation, thinks that Baltimore
will be destroyed by an earth¬
quake, and he is pretty sure that
this will be the fate of Boston.
Providence, the last stopping place
of the evangelist on his way to
Boston, is to go down with an ep¬
idemic of yellow fever, and it’s
just likely, he says, that this will
be the fate of Washington, D. C.
Anyhow, if he can get a hall in
Boston or a permit to speak on the
common he will be able, Bible in
hand, to so explain the prophecies
of Daniel as to make the “end of
all things’’ clear to the average
Bostonian mind.
The evangelist takes no collec¬
tions at his meetings, but relies
upon voluntary offerings. His re¬
ceipts are small, but his faith is
large. If his day’s food costs him
15 cents he feels that he is living
extravagantly, and a 15-cent lodg¬
ing is to him the acme of luxury.
If bis funds hold out he will re¬
main a week in Boston. His pres¬
ent money total is $1.44, and with
this he started off to take a lodg¬
ing at the South end.
From a partial survey of the city
he is inclined to think that Boston
will shortly have a troublesome vis¬
itor in the shape of a comet, and
that possibly there will come a
shower of meteors. He is not pre¬
pared to set any date, but he is ab¬
solutely certain that some cometor
ic or meteoric disturbance is in
store for the city.
It’s just possible that nothing
serious will occur during the stay
of the prophet, and as he has tak¬
en a room at the South end for a
week, Boston may breathe easily
for a few days.
During his stay in the city evan¬
gelist Camp will make a close scru¬
tiny of men and things in general,
and he has promised to give the
Globe the latest information as to
when we may expect the vials of
God’s wrath to be poured out upon
us.
Salem Camp Meeting.
Perhaps one of the most inter¬
esting and enjoyable camp meet¬
ings that has been held at Salem
for many years, is the or.e just
closed.
It has been over 60 years since
the first meeting was held at this
most famous old camp ground, and
every year, excepting perhaps one
or two during the civil war, it has
been the scene of a camp meeting.
Although the men who founded
this institution for the upbuilding
of Christianity, have long since
passed to their reward, yet Salem
still lives, and every year those
who meet around her sacred altars
are drawn into closer touch with
the great “Giver of Fife. > »
This year, the meeting began on
Friday night, Aug. 6th. About
25 families were “tented,” nearly
all of the tents being occupied.
The opening sermon was preach¬
ed by Rev. Mack Eakes, of Con¬
yers.
On Saturday, quite a number of
visitors from the surrounding coun¬
try were present, and four interest¬
ing services were held.
Sunday was of course the great¬
est day, in point of attendance, and
a great assembly of people gather¬
ed together to spend a day at old
Salem, as had perhaps been their
wont since their earliest recollec¬
tion.
The eleven o’clock sermon, the
main service of the day, was
preached by Dr. W. A. Candler, of
Oxford. Dr. Candler is a strong
speaker, and for more than an hour,
held the close attention of his au¬
dience.
Duriug the past week, until the
meeting closed, five services, in¬
cluding a young people’s prayer
meeting, were held each day.
Rev. A. M. Pierce, of Conyers,
preached the last sermon on Thurs¬
day night last, and after a most en¬
joyable experience meeting, and
the reception of members, Salem
camp meeting, for the year 1897,
came to a close. Seven new mem¬
bers were added to the church,
while the great good done believ¬
ers, and in other ways, is inesti¬
mable.
On Sunday morning, over one
hundred dollars were raised for re¬
pairing the arbor, ground, spring,
etc.
Among the ministers attending
the meeting were Dr. Candler,
Prof. J. E. Dickey. Revs. A. M.
Pierce, Robert Eakes, O. C. Sim¬
mons, H. J. Adams, Presiding El¬
der Bryan, and others.
The music was conducted by
Prof. W. R. Mackey, an experi¬
enced singer and a most devoted
Christian gentleman.
