M. [. CAMP MEETING
 IN JULY THIS YEAR

Arrangements are being made by the presiding elder and committee of the M. E. church, south to hold very interesting meeting this year at the Camp ground in the Brill addi- tion. The grounds have been im- proved this year by the addition of many trees to the number already placed there, and the beautiful grove of ash trees planted there years ago have grown to a height that makes it a beautiful and inviting place Good, shingle-top camp houses are to be had free to those who desire to camp and attend the meetings.
 Rev. George w. Forman, who is to conduct the services, has had the best training possible for an evange- list After graduating from the Ken lucky Wesleyan, and the Moody Bible school he was retained on the faculty of the latter until he chose to leave for the work of preaching. He has held many remarkable meetings and of evangelistic singing"
 The Pastors association of McFall,
Arizona republican., 1909-06-10

is known as a man of peculiar fit ness for this line of work
 Dr. Towner, of the Mccdy school, says: Mir. Forman has rare talent. both as a preacher and as a leader Mo, says: Without a doubt, MT. Forman has awakened this town as 1t has never been stirred before"
 The meeting will begin Sunday June 27, and will last two or three weeks and while it is in progress there will be no services at Central Methodist church, nor at Bethel or Cartwright, which are churches Of this denomination.
 There will be sunrise meetings for the campers and people near Ten o'clock services each incoming, a yes De. service at sunset, and the regu- lar evangelistic service each night at eight o'clock.
 An effort will be made to have a large choir at all the night services and a call will be made for practice at Central church at an early date. It is expected that Christian singers of every denomination will contribute to the singing force, as it is desired to make the meeting entirely non sectarian, but wholly Christian evan gelistic.
 The camp houses are open to all. Inquiries may be made to Dr. H. A. Hughes. First come. first served.
