meeting at Ocean Grove yesterday •ntalns much that win Interest tbe people nut-only of tbe Methodist churches In this vicinity, but also tbe tber denominations. Tbe paper com-

•lete follows:

-Camp Meeting Associations and I hr I .or* I Churches—What should be our attitude and Ibe attitude of our ('onfereuce toward auch assoclatloDs. as they manifestly divide or monopolize tbe pstrotrage j>f the summer population, totbe hurt and Impoverishment of the local Methodist Episcopal ’’This Is a question thst. potentially, al least. Interests and Involves every member of tbe Conference, because at each session of tbe Conference every man In tbe effective ranks la liable to a call that may compel him to meet and co|« with the delicate, difficult and humiliating questions and coadi Ion- Invol-ed. Therefore, no man can, if be would, treat tbe question with Indifference. ■ Hear In mind that these camp reeling associations are practically in by members of tbe New Jersey Annual ' onfereuce, amenable lo tbe 'onference, appointed by tbe bLbop, ■o tar as 1 know, while all other effective men. Including prestdig elders and preside it of Pennington Seminary, must report their work, iresldeuts of these associations make report whatever. ■If H were a question ol camp meet- ( only, It might not matter. Bat len It Involves tbe bolding of months of regular service on tbe Lord's day lo com petit too with. If not opposition to, tbe Methodist Episcopal church. It Is quite different.
