Instead of holding any more
ministers meetings this season
the Southern Methodist ministers
intend to concentrate tn cir ener-
gies on the opening of their sum-
mer assembly at Arcadia. Last
year a tract of PAT acres was pur-
chased by the Southern Metho-

across from Arcadia College, in
Arcadia. 1t is now proposed to
make this a resort for regular
summer services, and yesterday at
the ministers all the other dis
tricts in the st. Louis Conference
-Farmington, Charleston, Poplar
Bluff, West Plains and De Soto
were invited to cooperate with
the st. Louis district in these
meetings, which are to be held the
last of July. A st. Louis District
Committee has been appointed,
consisting of Rev. DR.. S. Fl. Vain
right, chairman; Rev. w. B. Hays,
Rev. L. E. Todd, Rev. G. M. Haw-
kins, Rev. DR.. E. G. McVoy, Rev.
G. N. Clark, Rev. Josephus
Stephan and Rev. j. E.. Martin.
The plan as at present formulated
is in general as follows: A sunrise
prayer meeting in the morning; a
class in Bible study at 8; a work
ers' conference at 10; preaching
at Ii; outings, riding, fishing and
mountain climbing in the after

at night. The Baptist summer
assembly will have it's second
gathering in the same month, anc
it is expected that the Presbyteri
ans may open their grounds this
season. A number of Methodist
families are buying building lots.
