Mt. LAKE PARK, July 14.--Quite q
party of the Oakland visitors were present
Monday at the afternoon services of the
campmeeting. The meetings are growing
in interest. In the morning most i'm
pressive experience meeting was held in
the auditorium. Many rich experiences
were related. At3p m. Mrs Shay, of
Ohio, ''boiled over, " as she expressed it,
in very energetic talk, and DIR. Dougan
Clark preached on The subject of the beati-
tude. Holiness and purity must be at
tanned before we enter heaven. We
are not heirs TO the Kingdom originally,
but as the children of Queen Victoria are
born princes and princesses, 50 must we be
born into the kingdom by regeneration.
''Who shall stand in the hill OF the Lord?
He that hath clean hands and pure
heart" blessed are the pure in heart. "
Heart purity signifies cleansing from in
bred sin as well as overt transgressions. /
don't believe God every punished any other
man for Adams sin, or any man fOr the
sin Of another.
The great sin of Christians is unbelief.
The pure heart has no mbelief in it, but
believing is as easy rs breathing.
At the opening of the evening session
Rev. Updegaff invited any who wished,
to ask any question at all concerning points
that might be left obscure. ...
Ono asked if this purity of heart or sane
tification is for every one. 'Yes, If he has
elected himself to be Gods and really and
deeply desires it. 1t is good for a man TO
despair, to be hopeless, to feel at his wits
ond, then God can give him this blessing" "
Capt. Kelso Carter, occupied the pulpit
and spoke on the difficulties in the way of
mems coming to God, and rs text took
the first epistle of John, but particularly
the seventh verse Of chapter l. The
speaker endeavored to show that there is
no contradiction whatever in Gods word.
''The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleans
eth us from all SIM"
After the sermon the usual invitation to
the altar was given and several came for
ward. Some have already prolessed sane
tifcation, among whom was Wheeling

At this afternoons service, after reading
his text, DR.. Clark answered some ques
tons WAS David's prayer answered
when he said create in me clean heart" u
Yes. GLOW is it we hear 80 much said oI
sanctiication through the blood?' Be

Christ blood, mans faith, that accom-
plisheS this work. lie has made Him II
be sin for us who knew no sin.
