AN EPWORTH ASSEMBLY.
State Committee Considering Plans
for "a Summer school.

Al the State conference OF the Epwortn
League held in Anderson last June n com
mittee was appointed and given power TO
select a place for an Epworth training
assembly. The purpose OF this assembly is
two-fold, that of training for the work
in the league and that of pleasure. In
many States this plan of action has al
ready been set afoot and the leaders of
this State are merely following in the
path OF similar and successful undertake
ings. 1t is the purpose to select a sum-
mer resort In the State and hold the as
sembly and lectures there. so that the
meetings will form a part of the vacations
of the participants, who are unable to at
tend at other times. one OF these sum-
mering places will be leased and a tent or
some light structure erected, in which the
school and lectures will be held. This p AN
has been adopted in Michigan, New York
Illinois and Iowa and a great success has
been the result I'm each OF these States.
1t was the example set by these States
that brought about the action of the gen.
eral conference when they appointed the
committee that met for the first time yes
terday afternoon in one OF the parlors at
the Y. VI. c. ~. Everything will be well
considered before any definite arrange
ments will be made, as nothing could be
done for this season. Yesterday was given
to the discussion OF the different plans that
suggest themselves and several bids for q
location were received from the camp
meeting associations over the State, but
none were acted on.

ter, Of the Odd Fellows.

William II. Leedy has been appointed
acting secretary of the Grand Lodge OF
Odd Fellows OF Indiana TO temporarily sue
coed d. +. Foster. who has occupied the
position for over twenty years. 1t is the
belief of Mr.. Foster, as well as others. that
Mr.. Leedy's appointment will be perma-

probably not permit him to resume the
somewhat arduous duties. Mr.. Leedy's APP
pointment has. however, been made only
temporary and he will be known as the
acting secretary. The appointment was
made yesterday by Grand Master c. +.
Northern, of Greensourg. and must be
confirmed by the Grand Lodge.
Mr.. Leedy will at once sever his connec-
ton with the Indiana Newspaper Union.
Of which he has been the manager for
fifteen years. w. d. Pratt, of Logansport,
who is sole owner of the concern. was in
the city yesterday arranging TO take up
the work which Mr.. Leedy leaves. He was
formerly a resident of this city and is
we'll known here. He will remove his fam
lily here in about a month and take up his
permanent residence in the city.
