quest of the Rev. c. H. Yatman.

Ocean Grove, N J.. March 1O.-After having
served leader OF the young peoples meetings
here for twenty-six consecutive years, the Rev.
Charles H. Yatmau. the evangelist, has asked the
devotional committee Of the Ocean Grove Camp
Meeting Association. Of which Bishop James n.
F1tzGersld is chairman. TO accept his resignation.
and it has done Bishop FitzGerald. who IS
president Of the camp meeting association, could
be located to-day, but the president of the
association. the Rev DR.. Aaron f. Ballard said
that Mr. Yatman had personally asked the COM
mittee relieve him of the leadership, and that
the request had been complied with. Dr. Ballard
also said that i'll health assigned the cause
OF Mr.. Yatmans desire 10 be relieved of work.
His successor has not been selected
Mr.. Yatman has been conducting evangelistic ser
vices this month in Troy. \. y. Soon after the
close OF last summers religious campaign. in Ocean
Grove. he began series OF revival meetings in
Ohio. and afterward worked IN Pennsylvania. Can
ada ard New-JeTsey. Mr.. Yatman has made two
evangelistic tours OF the Old World. and is
ranging for third, TO include Japan.
II is not believed by Mr. Yatmau's intimate
friends that the condition Of his health is reSpon-
sble for the severance of the ties which bound him
10 Ocean Grove. They think that his religious and
Secular ideas have clashed with those of the con-
sentative forces in control of the camp meeting
