PERMANENT CAMPING
GROUND PURCHASED
METHODISTS OF HURON DIST
RIOT SUBSCRIBE $4,000
FOR LOCATION FOR
ANNUAL OUTING

Huron, S. D.-The annual camp
meeting of the Huron district of the
Methodist church, which has been
held at ST. Lawrence for the past
ten days, closed yesterday with a
farewell service. Thirty preachers
and five district superintendent
with Bishops Naphthali Luccock of
Montana attended the meetings.
This years session was highly sue
cessful. and plans are now being
made for the erection of cottages on
the grounds for ext years meeting.
A subscription of $4,000 was taken
and the grounds We're purchased,
thus becoming the permanent pro-
perty of the Methodist church for
such meetings.
This series of meetings, while
deeply spiritual was free from the
sensationalism of the old fashioned
camp meeting. While marked with
great fervor, there were no remark
able conversions, outward manifesto
lions or loud demonstrations, the adj
dresses being, however, stirring, able
and argumentative. The discussion of
labor problems was both novel and
daring, and it is believed that it was
a feature that much benefit will re-
suit from. a1saA
