CAMP MEETING A
GLORIOUS OCCASION.
Excellent Services Attended by
Immense Crowds.
Camp meeting at Shingle Roof
camp ground has been in prog
ress since last Friday evening.
From the very first services,
the attendance has been a record
breaking one.
Sunday’s services were more
largely attended than any similar
meeting for years. The sermons
were all discourses of power and
appeal. Dr. W. C. Lovett, editor
of the Wesleyan Christian Advo
cate, preached the morning and
evening sermons. The Rev. Nath
Thompson, financial agent of the
Rhinehart Normal School at Wa
leska, preached in the afternoon.
A number of other ministers
attended and conducted services
at various times. Among them
were: The Rev. S. R. England,
the Rev. R. B. 0. England, both
brothers of the pastor, the Rev. J.
E. England, and the Rev. W. O.
Butler, of Stockbridge.
VILE SLANDER.
As well try to stem ocean-tide,
As stop slander’s vile tongue,
Engulfs many victims, spreads
wide,
The very best among.
A hydra-headed monster ’tis,
Mash one, another springs
Up against, and hideous is,
As vile venom at flings.
, Attacks the flower of the land,
Jps highest it has slain —
And laid them low in earth’s
cold sand,
Made writhe in bitter pain.
No matter how innocent are,
If once of takes a hold,
Ever clings to, still follows far;
Can’t loose, so trong and bold.
0 pause before you listen to
This grinning monster dread,
Believe only that which you
know,
Not that hear falsely said —
And only bad, ignorant do,
Sad in majority.
Never asks if a thing is true,
Or wait the truth to see.
Evil themselves, so such believe,
Prefer the bad to good—
For bad, "slander easy -to de
ceive. j
Where good, truth perish would.
