and weeds, moving off grounds,
burning trash, and putting the roads
adjacent in first class condition. i,

! We are fortunate in having such
splendid team of Christian leaders
to help this year in the persons on
Rev. W. M. Mcintosh aid his wife,
| both of Iuka, who are well known IN
| Oxford. The works of these
true soldiers of the cross have
been blessed of God in miraculous
ways, and have increased in power
through the years. Their lctest meet
ings being their best. Rev. Ed u.
/ Phillips, associate worker with Bro.
Mcintosh, who comes to take charge
of singing, is also an evangelist of
note, a strong preacher of the gospel,
as we'll as a singer of the gospel. He
cannot be excelled as choir or
ganizer and leader of song. He
trains both young and old, and ev-
erybodv sings where Bro. Phillips
directs. Everybody in Oxford and
surrounding communities will be
ea ger to take part in this feature of
the camp meeting.
Now, listen. We have only few
more weeks in which to get ready.
So let's begin now to pray and plan
and boast and do YOUR full part to
make this the best year in the history
of this dear old camping ground
Don't let anything of secular ma
ture keep you from securing a tent
and taking your family and lining up
in this battle for more social ard rigt-
eous living. Let's honor God by
giving Him this ten days. out of the
365 he has blessed US with since last
we met on this sacred spot. We owe
it to Him to turn aside from the
tolls and frets Of life and set our
hearts and minds for a season upon
holy things that He may refresh
our spirits and illuminate our lives
and better prepare us for the great
work he has for us to do, in our
homes and business and communities.
We feel sure that every tent viii
be filled. Don't forget to come pre-
pared to STAY 10 days. We move III
Saturday and move out Monday
week. The meeting will cover two
Sundays.
Please, please you who love chill
dren, make it possible for them to
attend. 1t will mean more in their
lives than fortunes of gold. They
will be taught to sing and an hour
each afternoon will be provided un-
der capable leaders for their benefit
an dpleasure. Our good friend Uncle
Dick Duncan volunteered dollar
last week to pay for days work
and Mrs. Lumpkin one of our good
friends who camped with us last
year and gave us such substantial
help sends a beautiful letter and
check. Here's the letter. | want you
to enjoy it with me. So you see God
lis still encouraging this work-of
building place for his children to
do him honor.
Many Of our friends who donated
last year to this cause have not
been called upon becar/, we have
not needed the funds until now. Our
collectors will, however, give you an
opportunity to make your promise
good and we heartily thank you in
advance and trust you'll Join US and
share the good things in store for all
who put themselves under the in
fluenoe of the great Camp Meeting
