ty-fifth annual meeting. These meet
ings, held under the jurisdiction Of the
Methodist church, were true old-time
camp meetings when they began, and
they so remained for many-at least q
score-seasons. Then notifications
crept in, partly because a change had
crept into the Methodism of the city and
it's suburbs. The change extended to
other camp meetings-at Newick, for in
stance, and at Sea Cliff-and these
places all became more like permanent
summer colonies than like camp meet
ings. The meeting, lasting for week or
ten days, became an incident, and an
Incident less and less spectacular The
shouting days are over, and with
those days have passed the habit of 60
ing to camp meeting out of curiosity.
The church people tell me that the re-
ligious spirit is as strong as ever, and
that the fruits of these meetings, which
draw together audiences of immense
size, are as rich and as gratifying as
they ever were.
1t is notable that strong liberal
movement has entered these summer
meetings in and about New York. De-
rominational lines are much relaxed,
and the whole effect is of a summer
church into which it is hoped that all
evangelical Christians may be drawn.

Office business. And the air of New
York is full of loud cries. Nearly every
clergyman who has remained in town
has expressed an opinion one way or the
other on this Innovation, and the chorus
rises from all parts of the country.
Many of the clerical criticisms are ex-
ceedingly bitter. A few testify the
bishop as having taken part in a purely
modern experiment with a benevolent
purpose whose outcome should be
awaited with reasonable patience. The
w. c. T. U. women have called special
meetings, and there is lively contro-
versy in many quarters. The newspa-
pers are still giving more space to the
discussion than to the war; 1t must be
admitted that up to date the majority
opinion runs against Bishop Potter.

the liberals. Perhaps it would have been

Though Small the California Variety

California has in her hills the largest

fighters, the grizzly, and at the same
time the smallest and most treacherous
the red lynx. Most hunters call them

wildcat has a long tail and lives only

more than they do all the growls that
a grizzly ever let out. n + -.
For when a lynx is maddened by
hunger he fears neither man nor beast,
and most of the animals of the forest
give him the road without waiting for
him to- ask it. In Canada and even In
the northern row of states of this ma
tion the lynx grows to be much larger
than they do in the warmer climates of
the southwest. Save for those killed
by an occasional hunter the lynxes
hold undisputed sway in the foothills.
a No matter how soundly they may be
sleeping, you can never catch one nap
ping, for at the slightest sound of your
approach he will clear the ten or Is feet
between his nest and the ground and
be of like flash in the underground.
About the only way. to get these fell
lows is with hounds, and then general
ly one or two of the dogs get pretty
well chewed up.
