caMp-MgETINe-LAsr DAY.

The attendance at the camp-ground yester-
day far exceeded that of the Sunday pre-
7ious. Nearly all the available space outside
the ground was occupied by teams. A more
orderly assemblage was never seen here. The
day was filled up with meetings. At 1920
A. NJ. Elder Wnggoner spoke on the Law and
the Sabbath. The salvation of man is not
the most important work; vindication OF
Gods justice is far more important. "Glory
to God in the highest preceded the an.
nouncement, Peace on earth, goodwill to
men," The freedom of the gospel is freedom
from sin, not from the law. People never
find fault with any part of the law but the
fourth commandment. The commandment
is definite-the seventh day. 1t is impossible
to keep this commandment by resting on the
frat day of the week.
Elder Healey followed at 1:30 P. NJ on the
New Testament argument, and the common
reasons for Sunday observance. There are
only eight texts in the New Testament that
speak of the first day in the week. These
are Matt. xviii. 1 Mark xvi, l. 8; Luke
xiv, John Xxx, l, 10; Acts Xxx, z; and
l Corinthians xvi, 2 and none OF them init
mate that is a Sabbath.

claimed as things in common, and tobacco.

one need fear, she said, to give up bad habits.
They will have to be given up before men are
prepared for heaven, for there will be no place
for them there. The Tree of Life has no
branches that bear tobacco. At o'clock
Elder Healey finished his discourse on the
Sabbath question. At 7:S0 Elder Haskell
spoke on the change of the Sabbath.

none of their institutions are for the benefit

colleges and sanitariums ETC., are all owned
