the End Draws Near.
Yesterday the services were among the
most largely attended of any that have been
held during the camp meeting, great croWds
coming by boat and rail in season for the lo
o'clock sermon. The exercises OF the day
opened with o'clock prayer meeting,
and at o'clock there was a general love
feast and testimony meeting. Before the
IN o'clock service collection was taken.
resulting in a sum nearly large enough 10
meet the current expenses. This was fol-
lowed by a sermon by
REV. WILLIAM M'DONALD.
He took as his text: ''And Stephen, 1uli
of faith and power, did great wonders and
miracles before the people," He said: Inc
minister's duty is too often COMPOUNDED with
that of the layman. 1t is the minister's
duty to preach the gospel. 1t is one OF the
lavman's duties to attend to the various
benevolent collections of the church. Let
each attend to the duties assigned 10 MN;
There is distinction between wisdom ana
knowledge knowledge is what a man
knows: wisdom is the knowing how to use
this knowledge. Stephen knew how TO do
what God bid him. He was also man
full of points. There was no place IN MN
for doubt. He preached his bellef. lie
preached the truth. Away with thoSe
preachers who go through the world ped
ding their doubts. There Is no advantage
growing out of doubt. Faith should De
preached. Christ and Him crucitied is the
only true theme. Let the Leaders OF tne
church be fitted with faith, then the people
will he. Some say we go in for culture,
refinement and advancement, but we go In

a rare immunity from getting hit and an
equally rare immunity from hitting any
body. They are called the prudent con-
sentative men. | don't believe in conserv-
atism in religion here, believe in radical
ism. There is no time for middle fence
work. Full, complete salvation is what Is
wanted. Any effort at reforming this world
that does not directly antagOnlZe the wrong
seldom succeeds in promoting the right"
The speaker continued at considerable
length on the life and character OF Stephen
and his preaching, and then said: Il do be-
lieve in red hot gospel.
What the church needs to-day is about
one million Stephens. Then your churches
will be filled with people hungering and
thirsting for the gospel"
At 1870 D. NJ three meetings were held.
Children's meeting, led by Mrs. Ely, in tent
No. /; prayer of testimony meeting at the
stand. and Swedish service in the amphi-
.theater tent At $3.50 p. m. the services
were held at the stand. The sermon was
preached by Rev. Mr., Jones of Missouri.
He took as his text, but if we walk in the
light, as He is in the light, then we have
fellowship one with another, and His blood
cleanseth us from all SIM" He said: ''Holi-
ness, light and love are equivalent terms.
God is the fountain of light. God is pure
and holy, and He cannot allow any unholi-
ness in his people. What is i'm
piled by walking in the light and
what by being cleansed from all sin?
That God is able to fulfill this promise is tes-
titled by millions of witnesses. The text
applies to Christians only. Unregenerate
men cannot walk in the light with God.
Personal holiness must be traced in all who
have divine fellowship. The if in the text
indicates we never can attain this divine fell
lowship until we attain the higher Christian
life. The brightness of this life eclipses
the light Of the sun, moon and stars. 1t
spans like rainbow of promise the deep,
dark chaSm of sin. 1t is not Gods will that
we should walk in darkness. Come to God
without any regard to the past. There are
many theories as to the process OF Sanctlti-
cation. One is that the process of sanctifi-
cation is performed by repression. We OBJ
ject to it, first, because it is
CONTRARY TO EXPERIENCE.
Again, it does not agree with the Old or
New Testament teachings. We also object
to this theory because it is antagonistic to
the theories of moral philosophy; and it re-
jeotsithe divinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
In the evening the Rev. Mr.. Wood
preached. To-day at 10 a. IN. Bishop Foss
will preach. At o'clock the stockholders
will hold an important business meeting,
and this evenings exercises will close the
