prayer meeting was held at a. M, fell
lowship meeting, conducted by Rev. Mr..

service at II a. m.
On the platform were the following

Morning services were conducted by
Rev. j. w. Hall, who chose his text from
the book of Romans, eighth chapter and
first verse: ''There is, therefore, no con-
demnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but
after the spirit"
This sermon was very eloquent, and all
Joined heartily in the final amen, and sing
ing the gospel songs which followed.
The afternoon services were very inter
esting, and there was very large crowd in
attendance, so that Mr.. Rays face fairly
beamed with pleasure and satisfaction. A
praise service was held at 2 p. M, after
which, at o'clock, regular preaching SER
vice was commenced in charge of Rev. J.
T. Hammond of Sperry street A. M. E.
church, New Haven, who took his text
from Timothy I'd, 3: 1914.
There is time in the life of almost
every man when he is inclined to doubt
the Bible and its holy truths; when it is
almost as natural for him to doubt as to
breathe; when he challenges all belief and
drifts aimlessly upon the wild, tossing sea
of unbelief. This was what Paul feared con-
corning Timothy when he resolved to
write to him and if possible strengthen
tured the life of the young man of to-day,
his character and way of living,
when he begins to doubt the blessed
book of God; he who fellowship the doubts
instead Of endeavoring to dispel them, and
the result upon his life, and his hopeless
death, his shadowy grave. There is chart
for Christians, a chart which directs us on
ward, heavenward and Godward, and all
we have to do is to follow this chart and
God will bring us out all right.
Here by the cross we will wait and live
and fight and this determination will form
the basis upon which to build your Chris
BILE is worth your respect and study if YOU
have this firm determination to begin with
This book is very old; it has stood more
savage attacks than any other book in the
world, and the fact that it has withstood
all shows that there has been power be-
hind it which would not have it destroyed
and obliterated. No other book in the
world equals this in history, going back as
it does to the time when all was void and
darkness covered the face of the deep and
the earth was wrapped in mystery;
then telling as it does about the
first inhabitants of the globe,
of the nations and their rulers Wherever
ton and progress. Wherever there are
railroads, schools and art, there is the BIZ
BILE expressing its truths and teaching
mankind the way to eternal life. The
mourner reads and is comforted; the
weary and heavy laden read and the bur
den becomes lighter and rolls off their
shoulders. The respondent read and are
cheefed, and hope is revived in the hearts
of the despairing; the prisoner reads and
is sure of pardon and forgiveness by God.
All read and all are helped and benefited.
I appeal to you to-day to stand by the
blessed Bible, to stand by the cross, and
hold your faith in the Bible and in the
cross, which your mothers and fathers have
found abiding rest. Remember the lives
of Christians, which are as beacon lights
to you, and stand fast, until you hear
"Well done, good and faithful servants"
Every soldier of the cross, and every hero
for the master, has gone down to a hero's
death, and the songs of his triumph
heve danced upon the harp strings of the
angels.
The sermon was stirring and appealed to
the hearts of all who sat and heard, and it
was good number Of people-about five
hundred in also that the plain board
seats were full. But still there is room
for more, for all who will come out on
Methodist day wednesday,, and we will
then have just good a time on the
Sabbath. There will be evening service
Monday and Tuesday, but the camp will
come out again in full blast on Wednes-
day and the remainder of the week. The
gate receipts showed an attendance of over
one Thousand.
