The Pine Grove Camp Meeting.

It was stated at the Housatonic Val ley Methodist Ministers meeting at Sheffield last week that the directors of the Pine Grove Camp Meeting Associa- tion will hold 10 days meeting next year. A majority of the Housatonic Valley preachers and perhaps nearly all of them are and have been for several years strongly opposed to public camp meetings on Sunday and they express themselves so freely about the question that they say they shall not attend. It is understood that the present presiding elder of the. district is also opposed to Sunday camp meetings, but his time expires the coming spring and the di- rectors of Pine Grove hope that the new presiding elder will favor Sunday camp meetings.
