4 GREAT BIBLE CONFERENCE
FOR NOUN TAIN LAKE PARK
Arrangements Being Projected For
the Appearance of Brainy men
1, of the World.

DR.. w. D. Reed. manager of the
Mountain Lake Park Association, is
trying to arrange for Bible Conference
at the Park to begin July "a and end
August q The conference will be I'M
der the management of Rev. Sol C.
Dlckey. Sup't of Winona. He is now
in England securing the cream of that
country for the program. Among those
already secured for the convention are
Rev. F. B. Meyer. of London; Rev. w.
Watkinson, also of London; Rev. B. C,
Slater, of Edlnburg; Billy Sunday, Hon.
VIM. j. Bryan, VIM. Belderwolf. Mel
vile Trotter, Bishop Hughes, Bishop
Quayle, DR.. S. D. Gordon, Major Cole,
Evangelist M. II. Lyon, and E. o. Ex-
cell, with his pianist. Mr.. Roper, "the
greatest in the world. will have charge
of the music from start to finish.
Such program will cost some money.
But it is worth all it will cost 1t is an
opportunity of life time II is pro-
gram that will bring great crowds to
the Park-such crowds as never before
assembled in the Park. Can Dr.. Reed
secure this program? We believe he
can. To do so he must have the hearty
cooperation of every man and woman
who believes in an intellectual or spirit
ual uphft.
The Conference cannot be secured
without a guarantee of $4,000. DIR.
Dickey and Evangelist Lyon will agree
to assume 81 900 of this amount. That
leaves So 600 to be guaranteed by
others. DR.. Reed wants to secure the
promise of the purchase of 1900 tick
cts at $500 each, and the reservation
/ of 1000 reserved seats at Sl00 each
/ This is for the entire ten days and the
| entire lecture course. Considering the
reputation of these men and their Won
derful drawing qualities, this is very
low price. A single lecture from any
/ one of these men commands in our city
halls $500 and the largest halls are
crowded For $500 we can hear for
ten days many, many lectures and the
best music in the land.
Are you interested? Do you want to
meet and hear these great men? This
is your opportunity. 1t may never
come again. Each member of the fam
ilv ought to hear these men. Write to
DR.. Reed at once and tell him how many
tickets you will take. If you can at
tend but three of these lectures you will
have more than the worth of your
money Many people travel hundreds
of miles to hear Mr.. Sunday, the most
remarkable evangelist in the world.
Y GU may hear him right at home, as
well as the many other wonderful,
magnetic orators and speakers.
Every man and woman in Garrett
county ought to be interested. Write
Dr. Reed. Do this today. There is no
time to lose. Address him at Oakland
or Mountain Lake Park.

Brown, Yale's Great
Runner, in Hospital

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 20. =
George Brown, the captain OF the Yale
University track team, former holder
OF. the intercollegiate half-mile rec
ord, and one OF the greatest middle
distance runners in the world today,
was operated on at the Samaritan
hospital in this city, several days ago
for appendicitis. He is now out Of
danger and well on the road to recov'
cry. However, he will not be able to
run in any of the indoor meets this
winter and it will take considerable
courage on his part and skillful train
ing by Coach Johnnie Mack Of Yale
to get him into shape for the inter
collegiate meet next spring.
Brown is the third noted college
athlete to undergo an operation for
appendicitis this season. Brickley, the
Harvard varsity football captain was
the first: Tom Enwright, the Harvard
freshman football captain the second.
Browns troubles probably dates

back to the last intercollegiate meet,
when he strained himself in the last
yard OF the half.mile championship in
his efforts to beat Caldwell Of Cor
nell, who won the race by G inches
and broke the record. Brown was
cheer leader at Yale this fall and at.
ter the Harvard game began to have
trouble with his appendix. When he
came to his home in this city for the
Christmas holiday he determined to
have the troublesome member remov-
cd, and went at once to tn hospital.
Brown jumped into prominence two
years ago. when he defeated the great
Jones of Cornell in the half-mile
championship. and broke the record
last spring; he also defeated Ted
Meredith, the worlds record holder,
and he is looked upon as American
hope in the next Olympic meet.
