The Kew Haven Camp-Meeting.

Tuesday afternoon at o'clock, meet
ing of the Women's missionary society was
held in front of theSstsnd. AT 2 o'clock
public services were commenced by sing
ing hymn 43S. The prayer was offered by
Rev. d. p. Hubbard of Vergcnnes,a broken
down, supcrannuated minister, who has
worn himself out in the service of his Mas
ter. A portion of the 3D. chapter of the
gospel, according to st. John, was read,
and hymn 439 sung. Rev. J. NJ. Edger-
ton OF Vergcnnes then preached from John
1886, He that beleiveth on the Son hath
everlasting life; and he that believeth
not the Son shall not see life but the
wrath Of God abideth in him." The
preacher spoke earnestly for an hour
this ga e 9ss so nrr and az 4ecev +" the
blessings Of everlasting and eternal
life. The conditions which God has i'm
posed upon US and requires us to perform
are so simple that every onci; no matter
what their condition of life, can comply
with them, no matter how sinful we are, if
we will only believe in Christ, the son of
God, We may have everlasting life. How
glad | am, my hearers, to be able to speak
this by authority. He that putteth his
faith in Jesus can be saved. 1t does not
require a great intellect or great know-
edge of things to be able to believe in Him,
for Christ saves by himself alone, not
through any other creature, but by himself
alone, because he came from the bosom Of
the Father to save men. In Him we can
find all we need. We all want and need
everlasting life, but how shall We obtain
it? Simply by believing on the Lord
Jesus Christ; but some say tina.
their circumstances of life are so
peculiar that they cannot believe. My dear
friends, no matter what may be your con-
dition Of life there are no circumstances,
no matter how peculiar, that can prevent
your believing in him, if you really desire
to and are willing to believe believe in
him with all your heart and soul and body
and mind, and you will be saved and re-
ceive the blessed gift of everlasting life.
Oh, sinner, will you not believe to. day
Give your heart to God this afternoon and
receive everlasting life.
After singing a familiar tune the people
