More widely known, perhaps, than any of the other St. Lawrence resorts,
is the great camp-meeting park of the Methodist denomination bearing the
above title. It is located at the upper end of Wells Island, and has
rapidly grown to large proportions, combining, as it does, the
religious, social and pleasure-seeking elements, often united in the
same individuals. It has a large village of permanent cottages, which
is greatly increased in the summer by the “cotton houses” of those who
come for a brief stay, either in attendance upon the religious services
or for a short respite from business in camp life. It has a post-office,
public buildings, stores, and the conveniences of town life, together
with boat houses, landings, dock room, etc., and being in the main
channel of the river, it is readily accessible to visitors, as the boats
make it one of their important landings.
