Committees Appointed to Arrange
for Big Picnic.
WILL INCLUDE THE ENTIRE COUNTY
Picnic to Be Held at Caldwell Park on
Labor Day, September l., and Will
Be Beneficial to All the Churches
The Committees.

At meeting held last evening at the
residence of Rev. r. l.. Patterson,
pastor of the Willard street Methodist
Episcopal church. which was attended
by the pastors, and the superinten-
dents and assistant superintendent of
the three Methodist churches in the
city, the first arrangements for coun-
ty picnic of the Sunday schools of the
Methodist churches in the county, were
laid, and committees were appointed
for the purpose of pushing the work to
successful completion. 1t is proposed
to hold the picnic at Caldwell park in
this city on Labor Day, Monday, Sep
TENDER l, and all the Sunday schools
in Wapello county will be expected to
send full quota.
The Meeting.
The meeting last evening which was
to have been held on Tuesday but was
postponed on account of the storm,
brought out the fact that the represen-
tatives of all the three Ottumwa
churches are heartily in favor of hold
ing an annual Sunday school picnic at
which there shall be representatives
of all the schools in Wapello county.
Such an event was carried out very
successfully last year, when a county
picnic was held at the Big Four fair
grounds in Eldon. There Is no good
reason why one this year at this city
should not prove fully as successful,
and at last evenings meeting commit
tees were appointed to complete the ar
rangements.
The Committees.
Three committees were appointed
each one consisting of one representa-.
tive from each of the three Ottumwa
churches. All are men who will work
hard for the success of the plan. The
committees are as follows:
On general arrangements-S. L.
Vest, R. A. Hall and j. T. Smith.
On program-Dr. A. E. Craig, Rev
w. F. Gilmore and Rev. R. l.. Patter
son.
On amusements-M. P. Dufield, w
H. Boston and George Staebler.
Present Plans.
Although but few plans have as vel
been made, some of the first details
have been settled upon, among them
being an arrangement for writing tc
viz PetoIoi tihu SupSlllllcINeulS Ol InE
various Methodist churches in th;
county, asking them to send rep
resentatives to the picnic to particl
pate in the days enjoyment.
A Good Move.
Such move is a good one on the
part of the Methodists of Wapelit
country. Not only will it give thu
members of the various churches al
opportunity to enjoy day of pleasan
outing, but it will also bring them In
to closer relationship one with tn,
other. 1t will cement more closet,
the bonds between the various orsani
cations throughout the county ant
and their respective members, and viii
doubtless pave the pay for other uniol
affairs which will rebound to the goot
of the churches and Christianity.

TO MEET IN OPELIKA
OFFICERS COMMITTEE OF THE
 SECOND INFANTRY.
Colonel Graves Will Go With Them to Investigate Advantages of the Town for Regimental
 Encampmsnt.

Col F. II. Graves will meet the En- campment Committee. composed of the officers of the Second Regiment, Alabama National Guard, at Opelika on April 2th, to look over the situation in that city. Opelika has made a fiattering offer to se- cure the camp of the End regiment this summer.
 The Encampment Committee, appoint ed at the conference of the officers of the End regiment two weeks ago, consists of Lieutenant Colonel H. B. May of Mont gomery. Major Charles K. Brieken of Lu- verne. and Capt E. F. Baber of Mont gomery. This committee will meet with Colonel Graves in Opelika and discuss encampment matters with the represen- tatives of that city. It is very probable that at this conference it will be definite ly determined where the End will go into camp.
 Opelika, it will be recalled, offered the regiment a bonus of $1 900 and grounds al- ready prepared for the camp Selma bid for the camp. but so far it's representa- tives have not signified that the Dallas city was willing to give as much cash as Opelika has already offered. Birming- ham also wanted the camp, but as yet has made no cash offer for it.
 At the conference tomorrow the location of the camp will in all probability be de- cided upon and the indications are that Opelika will be the place.
 The camp will be held about June 18th.

The Teachers Lantern.

1 Cornelius is "a lily on a dunghill'- under shadow of heather temple. In ser vice of & 8 pagan emperor. and in the that, he is pious man; reveres God. is benevolent and prayerful. Not content with attaining a moral altitude for him. self alone. he seeks to carry hts military household up with him. Caligula thought he ordered Cornelius to Palestine. In this, however, he was the unconscious instrument of wonder-working Provi- dence.
 keble describes the uniting of prayers of persons wide asunder and unknown 10 each other under the figure of streams that. from fountains far apart finally join in the same ocean.
 Unheard by all but angel ears.
 The good Cornelius knelt alone
 Nor dreamed his prayers and tears
 Would help world undone.
 The while upon his terraced roof
 The loved apostle to his Lord, In silent thought aloof
 For heavenly vision scared.
 To each unknown his brothers prayer. Yet brethren true in dearest love were
 they.
 Note Peters growth as evidenced in the laying aside of ceremonial prejudice enough to visit tanper. And again in restraining his old impulsiveness. which would have led him to start instanter to Joppa: his increased prudence in talk ing witnesses with him.
 We are all here present hefore God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God" That text might we'll be graven over the chancel of every Chris tian Church. Books abound telling preachers how to preach. One Is needed telling the people how they ought to hear.
 As the miller takes little stream aside from the river, and runs 1t through his race. and when it has done his service discharges it into the river again. so Providence took the Hebrew stream aside from the river of humanity for a season and purpose.
 Luke pictures the Church as it is. He does not idealize it. He shows differ ences of opinion, sharp contention. and the warning of opposing factions and parties. His history is not veneered. All the more is our confidence that he is a faithful and credible annalist. His mar rative shows us the Church as an organ ization subject to the operation of nat ural laws and processes. by means of which error is finally eliminated and truth evolved and confirmed.
