THE OLD LAWRENCEVILLE
CAMP GROUND.
SOME THINGS OF ITS EARI.Y HISTORY.
CHAP. VII.
Editor Herald— This article
will conclude my chapters of the
Old Camp Ground,
Other things might be referred
to l hat would beguile for the time
the monotony incident to a life
nearing its “three score years and
ten,” but lest I weary you printers
and your readers, I desist with
the present number.
For the last two or three camp
meetings, the subject of “Holi
ne.'s” or“ Sanctification," has .been
pr< minently brought before the
people, and many people, outsid
ers as well as members of other
denominations, have criticised it.
Small preachers of other denom
inations have antagonized it, and
in many instances, have made it
the basis of their talks from their
pnlpits, by ridiculing it. g?
This is no new doctrine of the
Methodists, and is no new doc
trine of the Bible.
The old Methodists lived it
more and talked it less. They liv
ed it, but paraded it less in their
own experiences.
Their maxim was ; “It is more
commendible to acknowledge our
faults (ban to boast of our mer
its.” Their theory was that it was
a work of progression.—First, the
blade, then the ear, then the full
corn in the ear.” “First, babes
>n Christ, then the young man
then tbe full grown man in God.”
Tre difference was, not in theo
ry, but in the practice.
As an outsider, I would not ario
gate to find fault or antagonize ei
ther the theory and practice ofHhe
fathers, or those of the pseaeat
day.
Any doctrine that will make
men and women better, will meet
no epposition from me, whatever
my opinion of the abstract propo-,
sition may be.
At the last camp meeting,a new
feature in the service, of a woman
Evangelist. This was a new feat
ure in the public worship in this
part of (he country.
_ Woen she talked some men
stood aghast, others sneered, and
others ridiculed. Some women
were pleased and interested, oth
ers curled their noses, as much as
to say ; “She is out of her place
an a unsexes herself !”
This opposition comes mainly
from the fact that we have nol
been used to it, and is considered
a “new departure.” and our preju
dices get the better of our reason.
Did Mrs P. talk good! No one
who heard her will dispute this
“ But she is a woman.”
Was her manner and bearing
ladylide, sincere and earnest ?
“We admit that, bat she is a
woman.”
Were her songs beau tit u I and
sweet and appropriate T
“O, but she’s a woman.”
Were the prayers she offered
chaste in language and fervent in
spirit ?
“O, yes, but she is a woman—
an enthusiast, and out of her
place.”
Ye men! If she is a woman,
where’s your galar.try towards the
sex that ye boast ? Has it petered
ontt If not, why deride this wo
man ?
Did your own mother never lect
ure you, sing for you, pray with
you and point you to hoaven, and
was she not a woman ? And where
is that mother now?
If a woman may leoture and
pray with her children and houses
hold, and point them to heavem
why may she not do so in the
great congregations, if she nas ca
pabilities ?
Sneer if you will, but it is no
compliment to your manheod, and
less to your galantry.

HOW TO KEEP THE MOUTH
SHUT.
A little conversation that took
place the other day may throw
some light on this statement.
Two ytang ladies, bosom friends,
were about to retire* it was the
hour of midnight—the hour when
young girls are confidential with
each other. Alice was polishing
her finger nails. Ethel was braid
ing her hair. Tbire was a spell of
silence, broken only by the steidy
rub, rub of the polisher and the
rattle of Ethel’s bangles. Sudden
ly an idea struck Alice. With one
bound she sprang to her feet, show
ering pink nail powder all over
the carpet. Z"Z
“Ethel, what do you think 1 I
only heard it to day. I forgot to
tell you before, and I’ve been just
wild ever since.”
Ethel—(with a mouthful of tor
toise-shell hairpins)—“Urn-urn.”
Alice—“ Now, brace yourself.
You’re going to get tbe biggest
surprise you ever had in your life,
Bobby Burton is a married man,
and he’s got a boy 17 yeaas old
right here in San Francisco.
Ethel—(letting the oairpins
drop on the bed and wiping her
mouth) —“1 thought so, It neve
fails.
Alice—“ Thought so! //ow could
you think so 1 Haven’t we all
snpdosed trim a bachelor for years
and years! Wgxt never fails ?
Ethel—“Oh, somet ing Now,
/(lice, if I tell you, will you give
me your solemn promise never to
notice what I say, or think any of
it.”
Alice—“On my solemn word of
honor, Wo on.”
Ethel—“ Well, remember your
promise, now. Well, /’ve got a
way I can tell a married man from
a bachelor, and it never failed yet,
only 1 thought it had until just
now.”
Alice—“ You mean thing, and
you never told me ! Go ahead.”
Ethel—“ Well, when a bachelor
wants to kiss a girl—now, Alice, if
you giggle 1 won’t Bay ar other
word—wheiPa bachelor wants to
kiss a girl he ala eye asks her per
mission or says something about
it first. And that isn’t .all. He
generally says something about it
afterward, too, which is very ero
barrasing.”
Alice—“Ac d a married man—
why-y, Ethell ?
Ethel (with dignity)—“l don’t
say a married man, you horrid
thing, I say a man who bas been
married. When h 6 wants to kiss a
girl he doesn’t say a word, He
just kisses her.”
Alice—‘And afterward. ’
And that’B all there is about it.”
FORGOTTHeT TEETH.
It was at a local restaurant He
had ordered a beefsteak. He
waited. The waiter did no t wait.
He came and went and came and
went, but the beefsteak did not
arrive. The guest oalled the mete
oric individual.
“Have the cows come home
y et ?” he asked.
Tue waiter gave a feeble smile—
waiters are very hard to reach
with sarcasm.
•Tl’U be here in a minute, sir;
all right.”
The clock kept going all the
same. He stopped him again.
“Tell the cook I’ll take the part
of it that is done. I am not in a
hurry, but my wife will never beg
Have this as an excuse for my stay
ing out all night”
At length the beefsteak was
brought. He began on it, It was
like leather. Once again he called
the waiter.
■‘l say. are you sure you have
forgotton ?”
“No, sir; I’ve brought you every
thing—a knife, a fork, two spoons,
a plate—no, rir.’’
“Don’t you provide a set of
testh for this beefsteak?”
BILL'BOARDING RELIGION.

reads like a regular saw-dust ling

big red letters (evidently with a
design to lead the party reading

ing capacity of 10,000. It will be
ligated by electric lights. A iine
large organ will supply tne instru.
mental music and a well selected
choir will furnish thj vocal mu
sic.” Now isn’t that a nsw depart
ure in advertising religious meet'
ings? In fact, the bill was so fir
from the purposes and deportment
of the Holiness disciples that we
sought out Rev A J Jarrell for au
explanation- This gentleman said
that his people had nothing to do
with either prepairing or circular
ing the bill, Iwtitat it was an ad*
veriiaement gotten op by Hie iailv
road lor the immediate benefit of
that company. We advise our
friends of the Holiness band to en
tei their protest against such an
uuusual and significant use of
tneir name and mission. It puts
them in the wrong atitude, and
we do not think tne Christian
world is prepared for anch a revo
lution izing departure. While there
is no direct harm in the bill, anys
one who has ever gotten up an ad
vertisement for a show will see
that it wos prepared with an eye
to milead the hasty reaoy, and al
so that it is written in a whoop'
’em-up-boys style that does not
conform with the humble and sin
cere cohfeseiens of the believers in
sanctification.

HOW TO KEEP COOL.
Don’t work as bard as usual dur
iug the middlh of the dav if it can
be escaped.
Don’t e«t as much as nsoal. It
is not necessaro, and a little fasts
ing in hot weal her always pays.
Don’t drink extremely cold ice
water. It » always better to eat
the ice or let it melt in the monte.
Don’t have any fires going in
the houso unless absolvtely neces
sary. Use cold foods and do with
out hot drinks.
Don’t wear youi clothes tight,
It impedes the already depressed
circulation and is a great source
of discomfort.
Don’t eat any meat or batter if
you can do without tbam. They
are heating, and anyone is better
without them in hot weather.
Don’t fail at meals to give pref-i
erence to fruits and acids, which
are more agreeable to the stum ache
in hot weather than anything else
Don't neglect any chance to get
out of the city to the country or
seaside even for half a day. Such
an ezeuraion will often bridge a
person ever an entire heated
term.
Don't walk any faster than than
is necessary. Strain a point and
ride as much as possible, as every
street car fare in hot weather is a
great saving of physical wear and
tear.
Don’t diink any strong stimu
lants, as simplest and plainest bev
erageb, such as lemonade, milk or
iced coffee, do more for the tired
energies than the best brandy,
Don’t worry and fret. Try and
put off tbe unpleasant with which
you hive to deal until cooler weatli
er, and make up your mind not to
mad at any thing.
Don’t neglect your feet Bath
them ‘night and morning, pay
more attention than usual to corns,
and wear the oldest and roomiest
shoes you have. No onb can keep
cool Jwith tight shoes on their
feet.
Dou’t miss any opportunity that
is offered to batn or go into tbe
water. If nothing else can be
donh d p the hands in a basin of
water and rub them them all over
tbe person on rising and before
retiring.
Don't wear a stiff hat, Compro
niise on something light and soft
straw if possible—and ventilat
• 1 abovo to let out the hot air.
Faequent sbampoomng and wet
tiug the top of the head is ohe ef

DEATH VALLEY
The name is fearfully suggestive
and yet few places in the world
deserves their appellations so well
as does the Death Valley of Cali
fornia, nor is it easy to find any
other locality in any aonatry what -
ever which gathers about itself
so mucb that inspires borrow and
dread. A region where a man can
die of thirst while he has water
within his reach, more than he can
drink, may weil bear the most ter
rible title that can be given it; and
this name—Death Valley—given
from tue first known event in its
history, thirty-five years ago, wil
doubtless cling to the spot to the
end of time.
It is in the southeastern part of
Inyo county, CvL, and at the point
at which the meridian of 116 de
grees 45 minutes west crosses 36
degrees 10 minutes north is as
nearly as possible in its ceuire of
borrows. Probably only one oth
er spot of which we have any
knowledge, the Guevo Upas, or
Vale of Poison, iu Java, axceeds
the fatality of Death Valley.
The valley itself.it forty miles
by eight, running nearly north
and sou(h, and every portion of
this is desert and barren in. itie
extreme, as is in fall tho entire
surrounding country, but a narrow
central space along the eastern
side, about fifteen miles in length,
embodies the typical features in
their highest intensi. Into this
very few persons have ever gone,
that is, who returned to tell the
tale, and what ia here related per
tains te the higher and compara*
tlvely moderate parts toward the
borders of tbe valley.
The dangers are the result of
at mospheric conditions solely.
Lack of mater may be a fatal evil,
but this can be avoided; supplies
of water may be carried, or bette r
still, it is now tolerable well ascer
lained that water is available by
sinking even shallow well in much
(he greatea extent of the upper
portions of the valley.
But the water fails to afford its
usual life giving value from two
causes. The first of these is the
heat. Of course this is moderat
ed during two or three of the win
ter months, and for that space of
time a fresidence on the borders
of Death Vally is possible without
any exceeding great risk. Bn‘
this soon passes away, and the
furnace is in biast By about
April the average [of day and
night) is from 90 to 95 degrees;
by May it is 95 to 100 degrees;and
a little later it averages over 10C
degress reaching often 120 to 125
degiees in the coolest pine* that
can be found. If this was with a
damp atmosphere it would stiille
any human life with rapidity, but
a certain amount of dryness en*
ables it to be borne with more
safety. Here, iioweve', comes is
the second of the two evils, which
have been indicated, the intense
dryness of the atmosphere. This
is so excessive as to be in many
instances fatal, in spite of every
precaution. The writer has never
tested the full severity of this feat
urein Death Valley itself but his
experience along its immediate
border renders him ready to give
full credence lo the statement thaf
many cases of death have occured
“when water was plenty, but
could no* be drunk fast enough to
supply the drain caused by the
desiceative power of the dry, hot
airy.” In fact, in ore instance he
himself nearly reached that condi
tion, and a few hours longer of
the heat and dryness would have
placed his own name among those
of its victims.
It is said that birds drop dead
in attempting to cross the valley.
Mr. Hawkins, who visited it in
1882, says that he “picked up, at
different times, two little birds, a
mile or so from water, whose
whose bodies were still warm, hav
ing evidently but just dropped
dead ” The bodies of mt>n and
their horses are liable to be en
countered at any time; they have
been found within a mile of water,
and in one case with watei still in
their canteens, and a supply es
food as well, showing that the
climate was the cause of death.
With these facts in view, it is not
unreasonable to say that the name
JOHN T. WILSON, Ju., Publisher
Death Valley is well bestowed-
And if this is the state of things
on the elevated borders, ranging
from 1,200 dj 2,000 feet and more
above (he sea, what trust be tne
heat and dryness in the very focus’
For one of the additional wonders
of Death Valley is that i(a central
region lies away below the level of
the sea, There is peihaps no
other spot on tbe globe which at
so great a distance from the ooean
reaches suoji a depression—lso
feet. The Dead Sea, with the
gorges of the Jordan atln the Ara
bah, of oourse greatly exceeds
this, but it is not widely separated
from tbe eastern parallel border
of the MeditorraDeau.
The climatic violence of this
deep trough of Death Valley must
be left to conjecture. It is certain
that no man could Gui Vive there
long enough to secure continuous
observations of anyextent —Mo
