In making up the program for the
campmeeting the committee In charge
has all sorts of trouble In securing a
big preacher for the second Sunday.
First Bishop Hartzel was announced
but on account Of old age he couldn't
come, then Rev. T. Howard Jones Of
Ashland was announced. Hardly had
the ink gotten dry on the advertise
ment before he was taken to Christ
Hospital, Cincinnati, for an operation
that would keep him there for an in
definite length Of time. Next tele-
grams and long-distanoe telephone
messages were resorted to In an eff
fort to secure some one but all with
out success. Perhaps after all It was
fortunate as 1t left the date open. And
now comes word that we are to have
the greatest treat OF all on that Sun
day DR.. Ernest W. Bysshe, superinten-
dent of Methodist Missions in France,
will come to us for that day. He is
right fresh from the battle front of
that war-stricken land, having left
France May 18th. Those who have
heard him say that his portrayal Of
war conditions in Europe is the most
thrilling they have ever heard. DR..
Bysshe is fluent speaker and holds
his hearers spell-bound with his time
ly message. In view Of the fact that
hundreds of our best young men will
soon be called to the battle front the
announcement that this man of God is
to be here should draw immense
crowds to hear him.
Our hotel keepers are on the job.
We are told that all the spring chick
ems in this section have been drafted"
and many of them will enter the
Lords Army" during campmeeting.
So mote it be. Mr.. Lane assures us
that there will be no exemption
board that all drafted will be called
into service.
