A FINANCIAL SUCCESS

Camp Meeting Paid It's Way for First
 Time in Several Year.
 For the first time in a number of years, the Canaan camp meeting paid its own way this year. The receipts were r. we are informed, about 5000 more than the expenses. In former years it has been necessary to use cottage rentals and other ressipts to make up the camp meeting deficiency. The evening col leotions were remarkably large. The attendance on the final Sunday is esti- mated to have been about 400, which, was remarkably large for recent years. Some of the people interested in the grounds and in the meetings believe that. with new officers in charge, much of the lost prestige is about to be re. gained.

 Read this from the president of New York corporation:
