boats, trains and other conyeyances, of
. all denominations, races and color.
:, The roads Leading to the grounds pre-
Sented continuous lines of carriages,
and even the fact that they were going
to Methodist camp meeting restrained
the occupants from indulging in numer-
GUS brushes. The morning trains from
The cities were later than usual. Only
a portion of those present had an oppor-
tunity of hearing the principal speak
ers, and hundreds wandered about the
grove, some picnicking beneath the
shady trees, while others gathered
about the praying bands which were
scattered through the grounds.
The morning services in the pavilion
were opened with the second quarterly
review of the Sunday school lessons by
j. ID. Blake, of Minneapolis. Long be-
fore the hour fixed for the opening ser
mon the people began to pour into the
pavilion,
THE ELDERS BRINGING THEIR CAMP
CHAIRS.
The half hour song service was par
tlcularly interesting, the choir displaying
the training of their efficient leader.
The morning sermon was by Sam
Jones, whose text was: ''For God so
loved the world that He gave His only
begOtten Son, that whOSOever believeth
in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life."
The first part of his discourse was de-
voted to the compass and nature of
Gods love. 81 have wondered some
tlmes," he said, ''where is the great
storehouse of Gods love? l believe
rn1 fhn s,,G Ia1 %l>o
saint. When was drunken vagabond
my wife loved me more then she does
now, because, as she has Said,I needed
it more" He scored the preachers for
preaching an avenging wrath on the
part of God. rather than a love that
never ceased, and declared that such
preaching was destroying the church
and
RAISING A BOYCOTT AGAINST IT.
''If you do without a hell" he con-
tinued, ''yOu will have lone wandering
crowd, and what will you do with them?
Ii you tell me why man will leave a
pure wife and go to the gambling room,
| will tell you why there is a hell and a
heaven. Why, that man can notstay in
the little heaven Sod has given him
supper. You talk of birthstone, but
1 am not trying to find out anything
about it. Some of you are, however,
and if were in your place would do
so too, for If was going to emigrate to
country, [ would want to know some
I thing about it,"
Z In speaking of monopolists he said
that it was not the VanderbiltS and
Goulds who were going to drive this
country into communism, but it was
monopolists who were paying 60 cents a
dozen to poor Over-worked SeamstreSSes.
ST. Paul and Minneapolis have been
growing out until they can't spread any
more.
THEY NOW NEED LIFTING UP.
7ifThey are only about one inch thick
and the lower half inch is composed of
the liquid of hell that is flowing out of
the saloons. There is cowardice in the
church all over this country. You get
down on your knees and ask God to
drive out whisky, but you must vote it
out, for God can't vote. You say this is
a presidential year, and l am going to
stick to my party the country goes to
damnation. would rather have the
old devil president the next four years,
and no whisky drank, than to have any
man you can put up and have whisky
because believe that if the devil had
no whisky to give his people, he would
There are twice as many prohibitionists
in the country to-day as there were abo-
litionists ten years before the abolition
of slavery. just as sure as we are here
to-day the whisky traffic is going out of
this country.
When the devil gets one. of you anti
prohibition preachers in hell, he will
bride him and take him about to show
off his little pet animal.o
He spoke of ministers who neglected
politics and called themselves simply
''a minister of the gospel" ''Deliver
me-" he said, from one of these minis
ters who goes about with half-fare
ticket in his pocket as it offering men
an apology for living. Some Iady in nv
audience says she don't like such talk
because [ am hitting her pastor, some
ID. d. of the church. Well, if am, trOt
him out; would like to
KICK THE STUFFING OUT OF HIM.
At the conclusion offerings were asked
for the support of the orphan asylum
over which Mr.. Jones has control, and a
generous response followed.
About o'clock rain began to fall and
the people swarmed into the pavilion,
filling it before the choir assembled.
Sam Small preached from the text
"Wherefore He is also able toSave them
Him." In the course of the sermon he
said: s'God is not pleased with the
death of the sinner. Jesus Christ is the
Savior of men. These who are living a
saved life know it as well as they know
whether OF not they came here by the
Burlington road. They know that the
past has been blotted out, and that
Jesus Christ is the Savior of men; thank
God for that Savior. Christ was made
our redeemer, and
A REDEEMER MEANT A KINSMAN.
Ruskin says that all the possibilities
of God are born in men. These are di-
verted until he finally becomes devil
in hell forever. If you want to be saved
from this diverting power of life, if you
want salvation to clOthe you with gar
ment, Jesus Christ is the only power
than can save you. Reformation is not
salvation, and there needs to be a strong
line drawn just there.
At 4 o'clock DR.. j. S. Green, of War
rem, addressed the assembly on the
Necessity of Immediate Repentance. -
'NOw let us lift her right up" was
tie opening instruction of E. O. Excel,
| as he announced, IAN a Soldier of the
Cross" the opening hymn of the even

course took 10 general text, but ad-
| dressed the church members generally
