Douglas Camp Meeting Notes

Although the campmeeting sessions do not begin until Friday meetings have been held daily during the week with conversions from the first ser vice. People arriving daily are fast filling the cottages. The camp meet ing authorities are expecting a large crowd on the grounds, as this is the 10th anniversary Of the meetings.
 X good advertising campaign was made and to further induce people to come, free tents were given to anyone who applied
 The effort has proved successful, as, according to the secretary, Rev. H. \ Brown, all cottages ,have been hired and practically all the tents are en- gagged
 Many new workers have been en- gagged for this year. It is believed by people on the eampgrounds that Rev. B. S. (Cyelone) Taylor, noted for his fiery sermons, will be present this year, although he was not invited. This seems to bear out his statement of last year in which he said he would be here whether invited or not, and if they would not let him speak he would stump the grounds. Rev Mr. Taylor has attended the Douglas meetings for many years, ard is widely known for his bitter attacks on the various de- nominations and the plain language in which he breaches. IL has met with much criticism from the public in the past and the directors decided not 10 invite him this year. Secretary Brown however received letter from Mir. Taylor asking for program of the meetings.
