SATURDAY EVENINGS SERVICES.
CAMP MEETING GROUNDS. Aug. "a
Miss Anna Gleason opened the service
Saturday evening by singing three verses
of the hymn entitled Nearer My God to
Thee" and then amounted her text from
the parable of the Prodigal son. Il Will
Arise and go 10 my Fathers, Where
There is Bread Enough and to Spare.
| am talking TO many who are not IN the
habit of reading your bibles. she said,
yet you are familiar with this parable.
She then briefly outlined the parable as
thus young man started out with wrong
principles, on a wrong foundations; Won
must step out from father and mother
and stand alone. If you think you can
this stand without Christ you Will come
to want; so 90 to your fathers house.
You, ike this man, may have good
clothes and plenty, yet this will not do;
Satin promises him good time,
Satan promises everything, but it is not
long till he comes 10 realize that all Wa
gone; that he is about ready TO starve.
So SATAN promises much by our staying in
his service, but has he ever given you
really anything very great. Soon you
may be called to an account, with money,
reputation and ch sracter all gone; he hss
left you, and the hour of death is at hand
He is your master. He says. what am
about TO die. have disobeyed father.
My father will not receive me. Oh,
hear him as he thus starts home. So he
starts. and as he goes he joins a citizen,
to do the worst thing he could do.
1t was good thing to DO to
join himself to this citizen, but if
that was all, it would not be enough.
Some people say yes, l am going to be q
christian, but if that is ali, you will be q
failure all your life. All satan wants is
to keep you besitating.
The speaker then represented Satan
persusding people to defy. and spoke of
young lady saying, Il will take the
risk" and in one week sickened and died,
leaving that sad thought in the memory
of her friends. He wants you to wake
up; he wants you to stop and think, yet
you rush on. At last this young man
stopped to think. He has but one thing
to do-stsrt out in the direction of home.
Now he is vending his way home. hut
oh, how changed; Oh, that you would
do the same; his father was looking fol
| him.
