Ami he ought to know, for l>e hat attended every one since it was be gun— in 19<!)0, and has been in dote touch with its growth and in fluence not only on the surround ing community, but workl-wide. The preachers for this year will be ax follows: _ Rev. E. D. Reeves, of Roanoke, Va.; Rev. S. A. Bishop, of Birm ingham. Ala.; Rev. G. F. Taylor, or Royston, Ga., Editor of The Pentecostal Holiness Advocate and Sunday School Literature; Rev. P F. Readtam, President of Holmei Bible and Misasionary Institute, Greenville, S. C. ■ The music will be-in charge ol R. E. Lee, and The Falcon Ho iuess School Band will also take part. This will be the ttventy-fonrth camp. It stems difficult for many iwople, and especially the newspa pers to understand that this camp is not controlled by any church, and does not seek “ joiners " to any par ticular church. In fact the only joining" is to become a member of The Falcon Camp Meeting Asso ciation, by paying one dollar per year, and this is used for the ex penses of the meeting, thus almost entirely eliminating public collec tions, except such as are given tc the Falcon Orphanage and other phases of Christian work, includ ing mission work, which is general ly represented by some missionary returned from distant lands. Members of various churches be long to the Camp Meeting Associa tion, and such memliersnip in ne way inter feres with their church re lationship. The sole object of the camp is to promote the spiritual welfare of those wlio attend, and send them back to their home, com munity and church better able tc exemplify practical Christianity. Further announcement will be made soon. A. E. Romxson, .?tertiary. CASTER BUTLER HAD A VERY CLOSE CALI Caster, 12-year-old son of Mr nnd Mrs. J. E.
