camp meeting opened bright and glori-
Gus yesterday, and large numbers Of
the good people tenting on the grounds
were found assembled at the morning
prayer meeting, held daily at six
o'clock. The early hour does not pre-
vent the daily assemblage Of good
numbers to enjoy the prayer service.
The experience meeting OF the
morning was also interesting

for the day began at 1880 o'clock, and
proved one Of the most interesting ser
vicea so fate held. The choir sang,

offered the opening prayer, and the
morning lesson, Psalm 40, was read by
Mrs DR.. Cooper, Of Ohio.

India Death and burial among the
Bengalies, as depicted by Mrs. Lee, es-
pesially when the sick are smothered
by watchers with slime from the holy
Gangee, are shocking to people of en-
lightened lands. The banks Of the
| Ganges has many temples along its
banks with flights OF steps lead
ing down 10 the water, and Worship
ers come from villages hundreds Of
miles distant to battle in the waters Of
the Ganges, believing that their sins
will thus be washed away. Mrs. Lee
says that If Christian parents were as
anxious to lead their children 70 true
worship as Bengal parents are to lead
their's to idle worship, this would soon
be q land of Christians only.
The men OF Bengal do not believe that
the women have souls and treat them
in the lower classes worse than beasts
| OF burden, and in the upper classes as
nice pieces of ornamentation. Instead
OF hiring men the farmers Of Bengal
simply marry enough wives, who must
do the.work Of the farm.
Mira. Lee claims that the Il conversion
of the eighty million idol worshippers
Of Bengal must come through the con-,
version of the women, and the women
can be converted only by women mis-
sionaries. The display Of pictures rep

and old. Mrs Lee made an earnest,ap-
peal for help to send missionaries to
this wide field of labor.
At the close Of the lecture Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis sang the beautiful duet,

The services at 2:30 were opened by
the choir singing 30 for Thousand

Presiding Elder Mick was 1.-THE Baptism

The text taken by Rev. Mr.. Sanford,
of Dallas, who preached the afternoon
sermon, was "Who knoweth what is

Every class, according to DR.. Sanford,
desires a change; but such change is
likely to bring only disaster and disap-
pointment. No man knows what he
would do under circumstances which
he has never tried. We do, not know
ourselves sufficiently wellto tell what
isbest for us in this life. Ignorant OF
what effect a change would have on his
present and future life. how can man
know what Is best for him2 This
should lead man to surrender himself
unconstitutionally to Gods will. for
only He knows what is good for man IN
this life, and only He can order mans
life SO that all things shall work to.
