HOLINESS MEETING CLOSED
large Attendance and Religious Fer
vOr Feature of Sundays Session


The eleventh campmeeting of the Kan
sas State Holiness association closed last
night after what was generally consider
ed the most successful meeting in the his
tory of the organization. DR.. c. J..
Fowler president of the association, had
the meeting in charge and was assisted
by Evangelists Ruth and Robinson.
Nothing is more evident to earnest
Christians than the fact that the doc
trine of sanctiication or holiness, which
was the fundamental principle of Wes-
ley's theology, is rapidly gaining ground
in religious life. No one showed more
interest in the meetings than the Method
ist preachers of Wichita and adjacent
territory, while the city was largely rep
resented. Revs. Pruen and Burns dis
missed their night service in order to per-
nit their congregations to attend Sunday
night service. Probably 800 persons
packed every available inch Of space in
the large tent, while many unable to OBJ
tain seats avaiIed themselves of the COM
forts Of Riverside park Hundreds of peo-
pie profeSsed conversion or sanctifcation
during the ten days meeting, and it is
said that more enthusiastic service has
never been held in Wichita than that of
Sunday night
Preliminar prayer meetings were held in
every tent on the ground for half an
hour before the general service and re-
ligious animation was at high tide when
the union meeting began.
Revs. Fowler and Ruth were unani-
mouly chosen as the leading evangelists
for next years meeting. They have be-
come particular favorites in this section
because of their clearness in presenting
the doctrine and apparent sympathy
with the churches. A third evangelist,
as yet unchosen, viii be secured for next
year also. DR.. Fowler, whose home is in
New England, states that the holiness
movement in Kansas is far in advance of
other sections Of the country, which is
only placing Kansas where God intends
her to be-in the lead.
Many of the campers returned home to-
day. some of whom came 20 miles to at
tend the meetings.
The Methodist pastors Of Wichita are
considering a plan 10 erect tent in the
four sections of the city in which their
churches are located ana continue the
work

LIBRARY WELL PATRoNIZED
Warm Weather Does Not Decrease
Wichita's Reading

Many people have had the impression
that during the warm period in Wichita
the public library patronage would de-
crease as the temperature went up. Such
is not the case, however. as a trip 70
the library will show. The membership
list now reaches the 1900 mark. the larg-
est number of persons ever using a IL
brary in this city. Every afternoon and
evening find the library rooms wen filed
with people, and not alone confined to
young people, for there are old ones pres
ent as well as the younger crowd.
Several hundred new books have been
placed in the library and are now being
catalogued This work viii soon he COM
p1eted and the library IN all respects win
be up to date
Many of the books asked for are those
desired by little people. Stories OF adj
venture are usually asked for and many
we'll worn books in the library Is the re-
suit
The library committee OF the board Of
education have several new plans for the
library and these Will be inaugurated in
the near future.

ing entirely failed to reveal them. The
Democrats got only an incomplete record
of them, and the Republicans next to no
record at all. But they were out on
election DAY, and mostly voted for Bry-

greatly surprised at the vote in the
country as the Republicans. This vote
disappeared in 1897 1888 and 1899. 1t is

Two Strings of Races From
Indiana and Louisiana.

On next Tuesday, the first day Of the
every child in Sedgwick county under Ii
years Of age will be admitted free OF

tain that the usual dust of a fair will
be absent; the buildings and fences at
the grounds have been painted white,

other star attractions. such as the
Sampson who lifts the steer, and the edu-
Gated pigs, who can do everything but
talk. These entertainments will take
place on the track before the amphithe-
arre.
The races bid fair TO be exceptional in
quality. Already the sleek racers are
arriving. Sunday evening S. Taylor of
