"This is a dull day for business," said the old gentleman as he ushered me in; "but I merely tarry here to refresh the cattle, being bound for the camp-meeting at Stamford." Perhaps the movable scene of this narrative is still peregrinating New England, and may enable the reader to test the accuracy of my description.
It was while the lecturer was expatiating on this subject of titles, that he broke out in the following language: "Don't talk to me," he bellowed for by this time his voice had risen to the pitch of a methodist's, in a camp-meeting "Don't talk to me of antiquity, and time, and length of possession, as things to be respected. They're nawthin jest nawthin' at all.
Before the meeting closed, he came to the altar, called on God for mercy, and obtained forgiveness. As he arose from the altar, I came to him, praised die Lord with him and said, "Now, brother, do you know that you have received both justification and sanctification?" "No, Mary," he said, "I think I did well to get my sins forgiven." We were once holding a camp-meeting in Nebraska at a new place.
As for the grass, every spring it is like Kossuth's rising of what he calls the peoples. Mountains, too, a regular camp-meeting of them. For the same reason, the same all-sufficiency of room, our shadows march and countermarch, going through their various drills and masterly evolutions, like the old imperial guard on the Champs de Mars.
She sang now and, although an unprejudiced person might not have found the change an unmixed delight, Galusha did. Miss Phipps sang, too, occasionally, not with the camp-meeting exuberance of her maid, but with the cheery hum of the busy bee.
While engaged in the work in Chicago I had the privilege of attending camp-meetings in a number of States. While at a camp-meeting at Grand Forks, N. Dakota, I received an invitation to attend a meeting at Hammond, Louisiana, about 1,500 miles south. For some time I had had a desire to go to that part of the country for different reasons, and therefore gladly embraced this opportunity.
Kunz, and upon one occasion he had noticed that where the roads crossed there was a large advertisement It read: CAMP-MEETING AUGUST 31 SEPTEMBER 7 A series of religious open-air meetings will be held on the CAMP-GROUND AT MAPLE GROVE Everybody invited. Come and bring your friends. Camp-Meeting Committee.
Making an excursion with my friend President Gilman from Nantucket to the United States Fisheries Station at Woods Hole, we stopped overnight at Martha's Vineyard, a beautiful little island which has now become a sort of saints' rest where, during the summer, a certain class of pious New Englanders of the less intellectual type crowd themselves into little cottages and enjoy a permanent camp-meeting.
Send him over here if you wish to get rid of him. He'll cut no more figure than a tar-baby at a Negro camp-meeting. If he had come while he was Secretary, I should have jumped off London Bridge and the country would have had one ambassador less. But I shall enjoy him now. You see some peace crank from the United States comes along every week some crank or some gang of cranks.
It strikes us that our country is very much in the condition of the poor confused preacher at the camp-meeting.
