report, maintaining the necessity of the
church taking the most radical grounds on
this question, and it met with general ap-

After this report was adopted resolution
was presented and adopted saying that if
the Moundsyille Camp Meeting Associa-

board will accept this, then the camp
meeting difficulty will be satisfactorily sd-

reports of minor importance were read and
adopted.
