H. B. says there is no better place for a frolic than at a camp-meeting, and that the evil done at them overbalances that done at all-day'singings. Granting this to be true, it is also true thai the good done at a camp-meeting exceeds that done at an all-day singing. When where was there a conversion at a singing? Think of the many shouts of new born souls that have gone up from sacred altars of campgrounds.

The heavenly host wil be largely swelled by the God given means of grace. Besides the State regards a camp-meeting as a place of religious worship, and there on the statute books to protect them from this frolicking class. Let a person get drunk anc cnt up at a camp-meeting like the? did at an all-day singing at Pleas ant View the 4th Sunday in las May, and the law will punish him The law does not so much as rec ognize all-day singings.
