Camp. Meeting at University Park
Has Been Most Successful This
Year--Llst of Those Who Tent
ed On the Grounds. ~

Even as early as. four o'clock on
Monday morning, one car load of
campers left the grounds in order to
catch early trains. 1t was also
about midnight before the altar ser
vice in the tabernacle was concluded
and in view of this there was COM
paratiVely little sleep about the camp.
At six o'clock four full car loads of
passengers came from the grounds
and after that the regular schedule
was used. The car service this
year was far better than it has been
in previous years, as it was sufficient
to carry the crowd without undue
crowding.
At six o'clock the last farewell ser
vice was held and the camp of 1915
was over. Although not so largely
attended as last year, the camp as a
whole was fully as good, if not bet
ter. DR.. 4, j, Fowler returned to his
home in West Newton, Mass; Rev
w. II. Huff went to another camp at
Concordia, Kansas, and Rev. G. l..
wilson went to a camp at James
town, North dakota. Rev. and Mrs.
j. M. Harris returned to their homo
in Evanston, Illinois, and Miss Stella
McNutt after few days will 60 to
Ohio, where she takes up her work

Some, forty camps are to be held
this year under the state and county
associations. Several of these will
be held in Mahaska county but the
