ten o'clock Sunday morning
People gathered from all quarters in all kinds of vehicles , some traveling thirty or forty miles . Many came in covered wagons in which they slept at night . History records , that at Cane Ridge , Kentucky , a camp meeting was held attended by twenty thousand people . It is ten o'clock Sunday morning at Oak Grove Camp Meeting , where our hero Jasper Very is laboring . Thousands are in the great wooden structure , filling every seat and standing many deep beyond the edges of the building . The preachers ' stand contains twenty-five or thirty ministers gathered from many parts of the State . The crowd has even overflowed this stand , and all available room is occupied .
