ing, broken only by the signing Of the
winds through the leaf clad tree branch
es; the warbling notes of their winged
inhabitants; the war OF the breaking
waves, aud the voice Of praise and
prayer from the assembled crowd OF
simple. hearted w~orshippers.
The program of the day is a material
change from the usual order. Instead
of a business meeting at nine o'clock, the
camp was converted into a mammoth
Sabbath school, with six divines, each
a assembling in different apartments. Your
correspondent visited each one respec-
lively, aud you will pardon his enthusi-
asm if he says it was one OF the grandest
sights OF the kind he was ever privi-
legged to witness. The senior division in
English filled the tabernacle, and was
superintendent by Elder Kauble. The
German and Scandinavian divisions met
in their respective pavilions, II were In
charge of Elders Schultz and Olson.
The intermediate division was conducted
by Elder Frederlckson in the young PEG
pies pavilion, and the primary division
occupied the children's tent, in care OF
Elder Warren, and last, but, in the high
est sense mot the least" was the kinder
garten in the committee tent, under the
efficient management OF Mrs. Della
Frederickson. The whole was under the
direction of Mrs. Kauble, president OF
the state association, assisted by her ef-
ficient secretary, Mrs. Holderman. The
attendance in the aggregate was seven
hundred and ten, and the donations
amounted to ST2.O0.
Following the Sabbath school was a
discourse by Elder Durland upon Dying
to Sin. To be dead is to be free from
| sin. or justified. The law can Justify no
one. because there is no justification in
it. Sin is reinging in our mortal body,
but God Is going to have a blameless
people. We are to yield ourselves to
God as those who are alive from the
| ltNHil, Dub biiOSC wiz IoAC az IA eho ADe
direction will have no bad habits. Ii a
woman had a tyrranical husband that
she could hardly live with, and he
wouldn't die, the only way she could be
free from him would be to die herself.
| We are bound to self and Satan, and il
we die we are free from the old man,
then when we are raised we a be mar
ried to the new man, even Christ. This
change of relation is represented by
baptism.
The discourse closed with a powerful
appeal to the backslidden and
ted TO seek God, after which al oppor-
tunity was given all who wished to do SO
to come forward. A large number
availed themselves of the privilege, and
the workings of the spirit of God were
very apparent. The revival effort vas
continued till after two o'clock.
At $50 Elder Breed gave another dis
course upon the question OF how to be-
come Christians. Christians are new
creatures in Christ. We are saved by
grace through faith. Faith secures for
us the gift of Christ's righteousness, and
God sees us through Christ, SO that we
appear in his character, just as colored
glasses give their tlnt to everything thai
is seen through them. IL w fall, he
does not cast us off, but Christ stands as
our advocate t. secure pardon for US, al
we look to him in faith.
After this discourse Conrad Reiswig
of Midtown, was set apart to the gospe
ministry by the laying on of hands. Tbs
ordination prayer was offered by Eide
Schultz and the charge and hand of fel
lowship was given by Elder Durland
The scene was solemn and impressive.
In the evening Elder Matteson gave
searching discourse, calculated to arons'
the inquiry, "Am / living up to my pro
fession?" His text was Rev. AL: sane
l looked, and 10, a lamb stood on tn
Mount Sion, and with him an hundre,
and forty-four thousand, having hi
Fathers name in their foreheads." TIL
Fathers name must be in the heart be
fore it can be in the forehead. In chap
ter seven it is called the seal. 1t j
found in connection with the Sabbath
but to receive it We must be more tina
Saturday keepers. We are sealed by tn
Spirit. The Sabbath was made for maj
and is a wonderful memorial OF creatiy
: power, but there are two ways OF gettin
: the Sabbath. One is TO be convinced
: it by the law, bnt another and bette
way is TO get In the heart throug
. Christ. The 6etter way to tell wheth,
we are Christians ID to compare our liv'
with Christ. The speaker then quote
: Elk. BAG to show that the Lords nan
expresses his attribute OF love ar
rs mercy, and then said, "If you pray
God for mercy, and then don't belize
that he is mercifnl, you haven't rigl
. ideas of God"
