PLANS ARE MADE FOR NEXT CAMP MEETING

Camp Grounds, Tindall's Grove, Aug. 22.-The services of the day opened with the praise service at 8 o'clock. This service is always well attended and much interest manifested. At 8:30 bible reading was conducted by Rev. R. A. Brown, of Kewanee. He chose as his subject, "Assurance of Faith." At 10:30 Rev. Edmundson, of Orion, preached the opening sermon of the day, taking "Heaven" as his subject.

At 1:30 the business meeting was called to order by Rev. Frizzelle. Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The executive committee's report was read and accepted. After much discussion it was decided to hold the camp meeting over two Sundays the coming year. Henry Koetzle, J. S. McConnell and David Andrew Clark were chosen as trustees. Clarence Clark was selected secretary, and John Vanderslice treasurer. The executive committee for the ensuing year is: Rev. Frizzelle, John McConnell, Robert Miller and Minor Curtis. After the business meeting Mr. Justus, a student of the Northwestern university at Evanston, sent out in the interest of the students' volunteer movement, gave a very instructive address on missionary work, taking as the basis of his address, "Watchman, what of the night?" giving a history of the work being done in foreign countries, also in our own land.
