Those who think that Rev Billy

Butler has any weight, press dis.

Ing. No, Billy Is still after them and
has outlined campaign for the fall
and winter that takes in Waterloo, as
well as places In Ohio, South Dakota,
Michigan and Pennsylvania. Those
who felt regret that he would leave
the field Of evangelism, have no need
to worry for he does not intend to.
plans:
Letter to Butler.
Dear Charley: Glad to get yours of
the Goth. It pleases me to have you
speak so well Of Rody. believe he
will fill out part Of my work that has
developed rapidly the past season with
the young people, and l also feel he
will develope into leader without q
superior In Christian work, and, Of
course, as general all-round fellow
he has 'em all beat. All Of my party
like him and this means much to me
personally to have bunch that are
absolutely harmonious, and this year
I made up my mind that would either
have, crowd that could work in alb
solute harmony or / would carry on
the work without anyone. have never
had any trouble along this line and
don't propose to. Fischer has been as
loyal as anyone could be, but he has
some peculiarities that have never
liked, and thought best for the adj
vancement and strengthening of the
work to do Just what l have done.
Waterloo in Fall.
"Our work will open in New Castle,
Pa, about September 25 From there
we go to Waterloo, Ia. thence to
Portsmouth, o.; lima, O.; Fargo, N.
D., and the closing date of next season
many good calls Nor that season of
the year, although am seriously
thinking OF g$ing to Calumet. Mich,
because by THAT time 1t will be warm
in Ohio, Pennsylvania and the other
states to which l have calls.
West Has Not Swing.
"This western country is great and
the work is all right, but it hasn't the
swing to 1t that old Illinois, Ohio or
Pennsylvania has, and it pulls harder.
George and Helen came on this week
and have gone to HOOD river with
Mrs. Sunday, who will probably be
back with us the closing week. The
bunch are going to scatter out con-
siderably. Rody will spend the sum-
men in Colorado, Ackley goes to Phila-
delphia (229 East Price street, Ger
mantown, Philadelphia), Fischer will
as / understand it-stay in this west
ern country for the summer and early
fall Futher than this do not know
Of his plans. The women folks are 60
ing east, to Boston, Toronto, etc, and /
expect to get back to Winona about
the goth of August, although 1t is pos
sible shall not get there at all for the
conference.
A New Assistant.
II am to have a new assistant next
year--probably Honeywell, who thinks
Of taking year off from his own work
and going with me, and in that case
you will see that shall have pretty
strong combination, at least that's the
way, feel about 1t. Honeywell was
with me before Pledger, you know,
and he's a dandy. Linden has been a
good man. excellent on detail work,
etc, but somehow or other hasn't been
as much of q mixer as Is really needed
for man In that position, and he has
had better offer to go back with the
Baptist denomination as some sort of
= field officer, which gives him home
and three days week with his family,
and this is much more to his liking.
nm writing you at length for I know
you are Interested.
"Give my love to Edith and remem-
Der me kindly to all the rest, and with
best wishes for your success, and
praying the Lords richest blessings
upon you and yours, am,
Sincerely yours,
Your old Boss,
WHO loves you still"
"Mr. Charles Butler, Springfield, ILL.,"
