CAMP MEETING
BEGINS AUGUST 1
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE
OK OPENING OF ANNUAL
CAMP MEETING.—O. YV.
STAPLETON WILL CON
DUCT SINGING.
The annual session of the Indian
Springs holiness camp meeting begins
in a little less than a month, the dates
for the 1919 meeting being August 7
46.
Th e leaders for the 1019 meeting
are Dr. II. C. Morrison and Rev. John
Paul, president and vice president, re¬
spectively. of Axbury college. Wil
more, Ky. Both of these gentlemen
are well known to the lx-ople of the
county, having conducted meetings
at Indian Springs before, and have
a large numbero ffriends who are
glad to know they will be present this
season.
Mr. O. W. Stapletop will have charge
of the singing. For the first time
since the camp meeting was organized
Charlie Tillman will not be in charge
of the singing. He was grunted per¬
mission to engage in work elsewhere
during the Holiness camp meeting.
The trustees at the last session tu
thorired a number of improvements
to the buildings and grounds. Re¬
cently a irndscape gardner was sent
to the camp ground to lay out and
beautify the grounds.
With the return of peace the at¬
tendance! at the camp meeting this
yqji t will probably eclipse all former
records.
