A strange coincidence at Mr. R.
W. Gordon's. He has a cow that

that was marked just like the

evil over balances the good. Any
candid mind will admit that show and
display is a too prominent feature of
such occasions. Human nature is
the same in all ages and the evil will
never be entirely separated from the
good. «. The good is not to be neg
lected because evil also presents its
hideous features, but the true philos
ophy is “overcome evil with good.”
Camp-meetings are doing and have
done much good. It is wise to leave
for a time at least the busy cares of
life and erect the tabernacle for ili
vine worship and i( no “strange fire”
be used the occasion will oe eminent
ly beneficial, but the language of the
pulpit must be purer than the parlor,
Salem camp-meeting was largely
attended—supposed to Point, be *500 Hamil¬ peo¬
ple. LaGrange, West
ton and Chipley were well represent
ed. It would be very difficult to find
an assemblage of better dressed, re¬
fined and orderly people anywhere.
As usual the “big crowd” attended
on Sunday. The set vices were inter¬
esting and instructive throughout, but
the sermon by Rev. W. D. McGreg¬
or at 9 o’clock and that of Rev. A.
J. ] arrell at 11 o’clock deserve spe¬
cial mention. The first discussed
the “excuses” and the other “confes¬
sions.” The services closed Tue$
evening with 33 accessions to the
church.
The far-famed Warm Springs
campmeeting began on Friday and
ended on Tuesday following. The
rainy weather prevented as large
an attendance as usual, nevertheless
a large number were present from
Greenville, Hamilton, LaGrange,
West Point, Chipley, Columous and
elsewhere—supposed to be 2,000 al
people. This campmeeting has and
ways commanded the celebrities,
this was not an exception. That
grand old man Dr. Jesse Boring was
there, now 82 years old, who preach¬
ed on Saturday with the eloquence
and power of early manhood. Dr.
Callaway preached at n o’clock on
Sunday and took a collection for Em
ory College. The collection was
small. President Smith’s Sunday
school talk was inimitable and did
much good. The rainy weather t in
terfered very much with the services,
but it is safe to say that good was
done. The seed sown “like bread
cast upon the waters” will be gather
ed afier many days,
The occasion will be remembered
by two marriages of the Gretna Green
vaiiety, which occurred on the en
campment. Such is life,
Almost every phase of life is pre
sented at these campmeetings. It is
indeed a woild in miniature.
