EPNDRTH LEAGUE WILL
HOLD FIRST INSTITUTE

o.
The Gulf Conference EpwortH
League Institute will be in session
on the Camp Grounds at Lake Ar.
thur next week. The first service
will be held Tuesday evening, or
June 14th and the Institute will
run over Sunday 18th, breaking
camp Monday, June Goth. This
is the first real Institute the Gulf
Conference has undertaken. Pre-.
lviOuSly, the League of the Confer.
ence has only held district con.
ventionS, unusually of two nights
and one day sessions. But because
of the growink interest of Ep-
worth League work, the LeaguerS
decided to put on a weeks pro-
gram this year.
Extensive preparations have al
ready been made on the Camp
Grounds at Lake Arthur. The
dormitorieS, cottages, eating house
and large tabernacle with all the
necessary equipment belonging to
the Southwest Louisiana Holiness
Association, have all been turned
over the EpworthianS for this en-
campment.
Quite a large attendance is look
ed for. There will be delegations
from practically every pastoral
charge in the conference, which
reaches from GlOster, Miss, to San
Antonio, Texas. The Welsh Chap
ter of the Methodist church will
send a delegation of perhaps Is
or 80. The local youngsters are
quite enthusiastic about it. If you
could be around and hear them
giving their Institute yellS, you
might catch the spirit and fall in
line with them. Here's one:-
Double up! Double up! Double
up! Now!
Altogether! Altogether! Alto
gether! How?
Get a Lacquer! Ask a Leaguer!
Win a Lacquer, Now!
Of to the Institute! Wow!
Wow! Wow!
If the weather is favorable, you
need not be surprised next Tues
day morning to be awakened at an
unusually early hour with such
yellS as the above would indicate,
given in such a manner as some
of our Welsh youngsters are cap
able of giving them, as they are
leaving town for the weeks en-
campment.
Of course a good time is expect
ed. There will be enough real
work connected with it so as
to insure every one that his time
shall not be wasted. A splendid
program has been arranged for
the entire week. Some of the best
talent of the church has been Sc
curd to direct the various interests
and strict observance of the pro-
gram will be required of all, every
one thereby being assured of the
very best time possible and much
profit. The program will be about
