Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed account of how the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association came into existence and developed from its inception in 1869 to 1872. The author describes how the leaders initially struggled to decide on an appropriate location for their camp meeting, eventually settling on six acres of land in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. These initial gatherings were modest affairs, with a small group of families camping and attending religious services by the sea. However, as word spread about the beauty of the location and the uplifting nature of the meetings, demand grew and Ocean Grove quickly evolved into a thriving summer resort community. The author provides a wealth of information about the challenges faced by the association during these early years, including fundraising difficulties and legal disputes, as well as their successes, such as the establishment of a post office, telegraph, and bookstore. By 1872, Ocean Grove boasted over 230 acres of land, 201 tents, and a variety of amenities, including a tabernacle and a large hotel. This book provides a valuable historical record of the founding and early years of Ocean Grove, and offers insights into the motivations and challenges faced by the association's founders as they sought to create a unique Christian seaside community.
