Lake Arthur Holiness Camp-meeting.

AuAC AZ nV11hcbS Chu psIucCblASs
Everything conduced to make the
meeting this year a success. For COM
fort this camp has the best ituation
probably of any in the south. The
water is plentiful and good, and the
breeze blowing from the Lake makes
it very pleasant all the time. The
tabernacle is SO situated as to catch
the breeze and there is not the rest
lessness caused from heat which is
seen at other camps.
The camp was well managed. Ac-
commodations were provided free for
all visiting ministers of all denomina-
tions. The vice-president, Rev. r. P.
Howell, was always at the service of
anyone who wanted informs oh Or q
place of accommod alton.
The preaching was excellent. Rev.
Will j. Harvey who was engaged 60
hold the meeting is a power in the
pulpit. He is a man full of faith and
the Holy Ghost. His preaching was
plain, aimed direct at the heart. He
did not preach about the stars or
generalities, but got down where
people live. His preaching was such
as not only ''convinces the judgment,
kindles the Imagination, and moves
the feelings" but gives a powerful
impulse to the will. Every sermon
was owned of God as shown by an
altar full of seekers for pardon and
entire sanctification.
There were four services under the
tabernacle each day: $50 and 1890
a. M, and 3 and 8 p. m. Rev. Har-
ney always preached at 1870 a. m. and
p. m. The other two hours were fill
ed by visiting preachers. The follow
ing are few of those who filled these
hours: DR.. Hall, Of Syracuse, N. Y,
Rev. A. w. Turner, pastor of the M.
E. Church (South) at Lake Arthur,
Rev. j. r. Basket, pastor St. Charles
Avenue M. E. Church, New Orleans,
Rev. Martin Hebert, of Lafayette,
Rev. r. P. Howell and Rev. VIM. r.
Chase.
Besides the regular services there
was an afternoon grove prayer-meet-
ing. The continued praying of the
IndLN HOIheiS Oh VIC SFou1uS Was NOV
the least thing, by any means, that
helped to make the meeting a success
in the salvation of souls. Many souls
went away rejoicing in a new found
Savior, and many Christians, preach
ers and people, went awa5 rejoicing
in the blessing of entire sanctiication.
People from all over the state were
in attendance. No denomin ational
lines are drawn, .Methodists, Southern
Methodists, Baptists, and others all
rejoice together. 1t was good to be
there.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
For the Week Ending Monday, July
2, 1909.


Normal temperature conditions pre-
vailed over the northwestern portion
of the State, but elsewhere the week
was slightly warmer than usual. The
maximum temperatures ranged from
80 to 1O1 degrees, and the minimum
from 81 to 80 degrees.
The rainfall for the week was gen.
orally below the normal in all sections
of the state. Light, scattered showers,
generally less than a half inch, oc-
CURED throughout the greater portion
of the State during the latter part of
the week, but there are large areas
where the drouthy conditions of past
weeks have remained unchanged.
CROP CONDITIONS.
COTTON.-Cotton has continued fail
ing for want of rain, except over the
northwestern portion of the State and
few other widely scattered localities,
where reports show improved condi-
tions and state that the crop looks
well. In most sections the plant is
small, has stopped growing and is
fruiting to the top. Considering the
drouth the plant is fruiting we'll. Cot
ton, where we'll cultivated and ferti-
LIKED, is standing the drouth better
than where not properly cultivated
and where not fertilized. A general
rain would greatly improve the cot
ton crop, and if the drouth continues
much longer serious injury will result
to the crop. Reports from near the
coast state that high winds and salt
spray have proved injurious.
SUGAR CANE.-The drouth is get
ting serious in the sugar region. Cane
continues to look healthy, but is at
standstill and it is the season of the
year when cane should be growing
rapidly. Such a prolonged drouth in
the sugar region is of rare occurrence.
The following extract from the report
of a correspondent in st. Mary parish
expresses the cane situation: "Stub-
BILE cane shows the injurious effects of
the long dry spell in it's yellow leaves
and retarded growth. Plant cane
maintains healthy hue and good
stand, although it's growth is not up
to the normal in height" A general
rain at this time throughout the sugar
region would prove most beneficial to
the crop.
RICE.-The rice outlook is not fat
tering. There is a general scarcity of
water and in some places rice is suf-
fering seriously. Reports from Acadia
indicate that the rice crop is very ir-
regular as to condition. Rain is
badly needed for the rice crop.
CoRN.-Early planted corn is gen
orally SO badly injured by the drouth
that general rain now would not i'm
prove its condition. Much early corn
is being cut for forage. Late corn
would be generally improved by rain,
and unless a general rain comes soon
this part of the crop will also be cut
very short. With favorable weather
late corn cannot make full crop.
The outlook for corn is very unsatis-
factory.
MISCELLANEOUS. - Truck gardens
have suffered serious injury from the
drouth, and in any cases are COM
pletely dried up. Sweet potatoes have
been seriously injured, and as a rule
the acreage is small, as the weather
has been too dry to permit planting.
The pea crop is very much in need of
rain. Hay is being cut short. The
quality of the fruit crop has been in
jured by dry weather.
