RED ROCK.
Valuable and Interesting Day Among
the Workers in the Vineyard
The Programme for
Thursday.
WEDNESDAY MORNING EXERCISES.

The beautiful weather we have been enjoy
ing for the past two days has not increased
the attendance at the Red Rock camp meet
ing to any extent The number attending
yesterday was smaller than on the preceding
days, but much good and effective, though
quiet work, was done. The people present
had evidently come together for the purpose
of working, and very few, if any, had come
from the city for the purpose of escaping the
dist and heat. The pleasure-loving throng
was conspicuous for its absence, and its
place was filed by earnest workers in the
cause. This meeting is remarkable for the
number of pioneers in the work who are
present. Old faces can be seen in nearly
every seat, and many of the best known
preachers are present.
The services of the day were opened by
prayer meeting at 6 o'clock in the morning,
under the leadership Of Rev. Bean. which
was followed by love feast at $3.50, led by
Rev. D. Cobb, of Santa Barbara CAL, for
merly a member of the Minnesota confer
ence. At the baptismal service, which fol-
lowed the love feast, five mer bers of the
church, converts Of the present meeting,
were baptized, and an infant son Of & Gorge
Hazard, of st. Paul, was christened. Six
persons made application for membership in
the church at the close of the baptismal SER
vices. The morning services were closed
with the sacrament Of the Lords supper.
AFTERNOON SERVICES.
The sermon in the afternoon was .delivered
by Rev. Mr.. Beebee of Hastings, formerly
resident of New York state He took for his
subject the "Second Coming of Christ, " and
the reverend gentleman handled it in a
mastery manner. He claimed that Christ
had fulfilled the prophecy concerning his
first coming. His text referred to prophecy
that may be filed at any time; it may be be-
fore the close of this meeting, and it may be
hundred years The time was immaterial.
Christ's Office as mediator will end with the
close Of time. He will then come to judge
the world. At the end of time, and
Christ's coming, things would move on
much the same as now. Nature would wear
the same smile, and the people would be en-
gagged in much the same occupations as to-
day. All men would be judged, and the
judgment would be unquestioned. No per-
son could dispute or conceal from the eye of
the Almighty the acts of this world. All
must stand face to face with the judge
must meet their accusers at his bar. The
patriarchs Of the anti-deluvian period would
come from their graves, and,
wiping the mildew of the centuries
from their brows, stand side by side with the
men of the present day to be judged. While
he was speaking, the preacher remembered
that he, too would have to stand in the
throng and ansWer us to how he had preached
the word. His hearers must appear and tes-
tify as to how they had received the word.
The speaker drew a vivid picture of the
terror of the wicked and JOY of the saved,
and closed with an earnest appeal to his
hearers to seek Christ.
After the sermon by Rev. Beeber was con-
cluded, prayer meeting was called at the
stand, and the w. G. T. U. held prayer
meeting in tent No /.
The evening services were conducted by
Rev. Gorham, of New York.
