The camp meeting in Holiday Grove
near Alma closed on Tuesday evening
of this week. There were two large
tents erected under which the public
services were conducted and twenty
six small ones in which the members
dwelt during their short stay in the
woods. The church was quite well
represented from the surrounding
country and the interest of the meeting
increased rapidly. There were about
twenty preachers took part in the ex-
ercises of the meeting delivering thirty
Six discourses in all besides there were
many ring meetings and prayer services
and an old fashioned Methodist love
feast was held each forenoon. Rev. n.
G. Marshal, of Corunna, was with us
and preached a very encouraging dis
course to the public on Thursday after
noon. 5. NJ. Kidder, the chairman of
this district, preached a very able SER
man on the Fall of Man and the Atone
ment at l0:30 a. m. Sunday. At nearly
every service there were some who
came forward to the altar and professed
10 get converted or sanctified to God.
The expenses of the meeting amount
ed to about $50 dollars which was quick
ly raised and as church, we express
our heartfelt thanks to the people of
Alma for their kindness, attention and
especially the good order that has been
preserved during the meetings.

familiar to him as his own hat, and seemed
as natural for him to take care of. Dol
caught glimpse of his companion standing
awkwardly alone.
"You have forgotten Miss Blodgett," sht
whispered.
But want to see you. | must see you

"Come over to sisters after you take hel
home. I'll wait on the porch"
"You haven't an ounce of pride" scolded
Mrs. Dewry.
"How could ?" replied Doll, with gen.
tie face. otis only Harry, and one doesn't
feel angry at anything after such meeting
She had not long to wait before a tall, dark
form appeared at the gate.
why don't you come in ?" asked Doll in
surprise.

MAY you! Why, of counsel How
strangely you act and speakl'
"Why shouldn't after you've ordered me
off the premises once to-day?"
Doll gave little cry and ran down the
steps towards him.
"Oh, Harry Burton-you don't-you can't
mean that it was you who rang the bell this
afternoon"
you told me that you knew who it was D
he replied.
Mrs. Dewry woke her sleepy husband.

those two be laughing about ? Doll don't
think of waking the baby now"
But, good sister that she was she was
awake when Doll paused at her door, and
out in the hall to be kissed and confided in.
'It's all settled" whispered Doll. "We're
to be married the last of next month, and Pm
to go home at once to get ready"
"But what is the object of such haste!"
Doll sliied laugh
Harry says he wants me away from here
as soon as possible. He's afraid I'll ruin my
temper putting the baby to sleep.
