McClintock and Strong’s Cyclopaedia · 1867–1887

Methodists, Camp

Methodists, Camp is a term of reproach which in the days of early Methodism was fastened upon those Methodists in the Western States of North America who, with a view to promote revivals of religion, adopted camp-meetings, at which religious services were conducted. Now that camp-meetings have become popular, in this country the term is no longer employed.
