tage.
Miss Catherine Forman of Plumville
arrived this afternoon and will be the
guest Of Miss Juanita Richardson fol-
a few days.
This is very special. DR.. Bunton
received another telegram from the
Coit-Alber Chautauqua Company yes
terday in which they refused to let him
off from his engagement with them for
a lecture at Madison, Indiana, Sunday
night. There had been some misun-
derstanding about the dates, DR.. Bun
ton having told them not to book him
for any day In July. AS Sunday hap
pens to be in August they had him
where he couldn't refuse. But the
Doctor has done the next best thing.
He made flying trip to Maysville this
afternoon, got in touch with minister
ial headquarters at Cincinnati and re-
turned smiling with the welcome an
nouncement that DR.. c. w, Blodgett of
that city would be the Sunday preach
er We hate to see Bunton go but the
coming Of DR.. Blodgett will go far to-
wards compensating US for DR.. Bum
tons absence. DR.. Blodgett Is about
as popular a preacher as ever came
into this section of the country. He
has preached here before, conducted
the evangelistic services, lectured in
Maysville, preached the baccalaureate
sermon for the Maysville High School
several years ago, and in many other
ways has endeared himself to people
in this part of the country. We are
sure that many, many will come who
otherwise might not have come, when
they learn that DR.. Blodgett will be
here.
Our old friend Bob" Pollitt of Gov
ington, formerly of Maysville, came to
the camp today. Bob" can shake
hands with more acquaintances than
any man we know in the same length
of time. He will enjoy camp life for
a few days.
The day began with another fine
prayer service led by Mr.. G. N. Hard
ing. The morning service has already
been referred to. A tabernacle well
filled mostly with young people
greeted Rev. Mahaffey at the after
noon young peoples hour. The speak
err gave a plain, practical message on
"a Divine Plan for Life. According
to promise at the close of the service
he presented all the young folks with
a souvenir pocket edition of the
Gospel of st. John. Rev. Ashley and
Miss Muse sung again the duet sang
last night. This was done in compli-
ance with numerous requests to hear
these two splendid voices again to-
gether. Rev. Ashley and Mrs. Fetter
also sung the duet "In the Garden,
The more our people hear Ashley the
better they like him. His work as
chorister Is of the highest order, and If
he should consent to come again next
year we are sure everyone would be
pleased.
The closing service of the day in
which DR.. Bunton preached is best
sermon of the series was attended by
the usual fine congregation. The sub
ject of the sermon was Where Is
Your citizenship" With his sermon
FOR tomorrow night he closes his SER
les much to the regret Of all. Dr.
Blodgett will preach Saturday night |
and Sunday.
