EVILS OF THE CASIP-MEETING. An Attack on That Institution by the Rev. W. R.

W. R. Goodwin’s advice to the Methodist ministers of Chicago at their regular weekly meeting. The Doctor read what he called a “red-hot paper” on the subject of camp-meeting. Mr. Goodwin handled the “modern camp-meeting” without gloves. “God put the sial-of his approbation on the simon-pure camp-meeting of the good old times,” he said.
