Centralia. No doubt many of our
people will attend that also. The
Chautauqua seems to be growing in
favor, as the crowds would indicate.

Grove closed with several additions
to the church.
The protracted meeting at Bethle-
hem grows in spirit as the days pass
and the good sermons and singing
peel forth and make the welkin
ring. With present prospects the meet
ing will be a success. Rev. White

the meeting, bly, assisted by Prof.
Harrison, tho forceful gospel singer.

and lend helping hand.

cessful effort will result.
