EVERY THURSDAY CAMP MEETINGS | Housser, Jacob Beamer, James ground where Grimsby Park now Lewis, John P. Bridgman, Abishai There were many things to be considered in the selection, such as a suitable ground, good water, available pasturage for horses, a sympathetic neighborhood, and plenty of pine roots and wood for lights. All these things seemed to combine in the spot chosen on the banks of beautiful Lake Ontario. ‘The ground was thickly covered with underbrush and fallen trees, and required much work to make it ready for a campâ€"ground. Al| soon as the decision was formed, and the place selectedâ€"before u' blow was struckâ€"the committee, with bared heads, knelt before God in the woods and invoked His blessing upon their undertaking. Then the Rev. Dr. Wakefield seized | an axe and struck the first blow towards the clearing of the ground, and all the machinery was set in motion as quickly .as possible to prepare for a successful meeting, which was to begin on the last Thursday in August, 1859. The men turned out in goodly numbers, vm.hl their teams, to draw lumber fotl the tents, the preachers‘ stand, the seats and other things. | The lightâ€"| stands, or platforms, had to be| erected, and dry pine roots and| stumps gathered for their fires.| |‘l'he spring had to be cleaned out | for water for the use of the campâ€" | CONTINUATIONS work begun here, and many reâ€" vivals on the different circuits reâ€" sulted. From this time Grimsby Campâ€" meeting became an annual gatherâ€" ux.uuummwdim.m there was no meeting there, but one at Ningara Falls South, it was uninterrupted. In that year this change was made and a very suc» ceasful meeting conducted at that historic place then called Drumâ€" mondvilie. The meeting was held in the woods of John Kerr, Fsq., near Niagara Falls, and was under the superintendency of Dr. Wakeâ€" field, who was in charge of the Drummondvilie Circult. It is anid to have been an unusually good meeting, and many persons were converted. ks Ts â€" o ers, the board tents, had to be built, and much arduous work done; but ministers and laymen alike took off their coats and rendered willing service until all was ready for the day of assembly. The Rev. Dr. Wakefield was chosen to preach the first sermon, ‘This meeting lasted ADOUL week, and the results were very satisfactory. ‘The people dispersed full of resolve to continue the good and his text was from 1 Kings, 18th chapter, 41st verse: "There is a sound of lhmdfl}ee_d_n!n." vidious, ns CBeR T "" U un Wl bore who threw themaselves into the work.

Dr. Rose and Mr. Fawcett were | very prominent at the campâ€"meetâ€" ings, and both were men of strong character and deep plety, Mr. Fawâ€" cett was a very devoted temperâ€"| | ance worker, and had all the courâ€" age of his convictions.

Most of the early workers have gone to their rest, but they being dead yet speak to us, and their works do follow them." In the foregoing quotation are many names of men who will be remembered by those who used to attend the campâ€"mecting. Most of the older ones are gone, and of the little group forming the committee who selected the grounds and inâ€" augurated the campâ€"meeting only two are still living, the Rev. Dr. Wakefiecldâ€"who preached the first sermon, and whose face is still familiar on the old campâ€"groundâ€" and the aged Jacob Beamer, who resides, 1 think, in Buffalo. Dr. Potts and Dr. Sutherland were handsome, promising young fellows, with their laurels yet to win, and never a sign of grey hairs or anything but perpetual youth and vigor could be detected about them. And there were acores of othern, young, hopeful, and facing the future with all the confidence of inexperienced youth, Some of them are toâ€"day Alling bigh places in the Church and the world; others are working in humbler felds, serving their day and generation equally well, and others have long since gone to their rewnrd.
