Camp Meeting Closed
The camp meeting which has
been in progress the past Fifteen
days and conducted by the Holi-
ness people came to a close Sun-
day night mucn to the regret of
those interested. From a Spirit-
ual poit of view the meeting was
very successful and the interest
was good from the start.
t Sunday, however, was the
banner day. Mrs. Mary L.
Smelser, formerly of Tabor,
Iowa, but recently a missionary
in Japan, was at the tabernacle
and gave a very interesting talk
on her work.and experiences in
Japan, which was greatly enjoy-
ed by all present. She returned
to Iowa where she will visit her
children before returning to
Japan to join her husband who
is also in the missionary work
there.
Later in the evening a large
crowd gathered on the bank of
the Beaver were the babtismal
services were^held and six candi-
dates were immersed.
Monday morning the work of
taking down the ten feu was com-
menced. The tents were taken
to Gray, Okla., where they will
be raised and a meeting started
there immediately. Rev. Ferrell
and Oldham will also do the
preaching at Gray. A number
of the local people from here
will also attend the meeting at
Gray.
it as filled to standing in the
isles and on the platform.
At <ut 1G0 tickets were sold here
foi Woodward and it looked im-
po. -.ible for them to find room on
tho train but they did. It was
ne essary to add seven box cars
to he already long train, here
to accomodate the people from
he.-e on to Woodward.
There was also several auto-
mobile loads went from here.
All report a big time and say
they got their moneys’ worth.
