Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Wesleyan Grove, Martha's Vineyard, Camp Meeting: From the First Meeting Held There in 1835, to That of 1858, Inclusive; Interspersed With Touching Incidents and General Remarks Why Write the history of any particular camp meeting? In reply to this question, I would say, that I desire to do good, and believe I may be likely to accomplish this object, to some extent, by giving to the public, in a somewhat permanent form, some of the most material facts and reminiscences connected with a place hallowed by a thousand Christian associations; by the preaching of so many gospel sermons by the offering up of so many earnest prayers of faith; by the uttering of so many pa thetic appeals to the unconverted, and so many exhilarating songs of praise to God; by so many sinners saved, and so many believers quickened. If the salvation of the human soul is of such vast importance as it is believed to be by all Christen dom, Why should not the place and circumstances of its conversion to God be regarded as of sufficient consequence to be made matters of enduring record?
