Inquiry Proves Chain Letter Donations
Do Reach the Association.
Cleveland, May 25.-An endless
chain letter. inviting the members of
the Masonic order to contribute to the
Mckinley memorial fund, has stirred
some inquiry In the past week. as to
whether such collections reached the
memorial association. The letters
asked that small sums, usually two
cents, be sent to Judge Day, Of Can
ton, to aid in building memorial.
The chain has been exceptionally sue
cessful and thousands Of Masons have
responded, as the martyred president
was member of that order. Inquiry
at the office of former governor Her
rick, treasurer Of the fund, develops
the fact that the letters and contribu-
tions SO sent, do actually reach the
association.

NEWS FROM CAMP MEETING
Officers Of Last Year Reelected at Annual Meet
ing Bishop GOOdsell breaches To-Day.

Especial Journal-Courier News service)
Camp Grounds, Plainvllle, July 81
The attendance at the camp-meeting
to-day was the largest on any day so
far with the exception Of Sunday. The
first general gathering Of the day was
the class meeting, and there was a
very noticeable increase In the number
of people present. The same is true Of
the children's hour which class opened
at o'clock for the first time to-day
instead of at $3.50 as has been the GUS
tom.
The subject of to-days lesson was
the Guide book, and the story was of
the Bible. After providing home, God
provided q guide book for those who
would find that home, Heaven. Every
body goes on a journey from the time
he is a little baby, until his time of go
ing away from this life. Some have
short journeys, and some have long
ones, and the guide book tells how all
should travel to find the desired end of
his journey. When dark places appear
Gods word is a lamp unto our feet
lighting the dark places.
The story to-day was Of little Ger
man boy who lost both father and
mother and as there were many broth
ers and sisters to be provided for, this
little fellow was sent to his uncle in
America
1t seemed a long journey to him, but
his friends gave him instructions and
wrote directions for him, which if he
| followed would bring him at last to his
uncle. He did follow them to the letter
and reached his destination safely and
grew up a good and happy man in his
new home.
The application was made from this
story, that the Bible stories tell what
God wishes his children to do and show
how they can please him and that
through the following of his directions
| the way to Heaven is plainly shown.
At the close of the lesson the children
were given a drill on the book of the
Bible, and this portion of the lesson
was directed by Mrs. Clemens.
At 10 o'clock Rev. 3. A. Dent of
Hartford gave his first address on
