The character OF the exercises give
evidence of deep earnestness OF purpose
ON the part of all to make the most OF
their opportunities. The preaching Is
of a practical and spiritual nature, we'll
established to stir the soul with deep
emotions, while avoiding that superficial
effervescence which is sometimes seen In
connection with revival efforts. In adj
dition to the services in the main audi
forum the German and Scandinavian
pavilions we're in full blast, and we learn
by inquiry that a special interest Is de-
veloplng in the youths and children's
meetings.

The committee on resolutions made
their report, but for want OF time the
consideration of them was postponed I'M
Til the next meeting.
At HOO Elder .Durland gave a talk
from the eighth chapter OF Romans.
Said the speaker, "You want help and
have come to him to get it, end you can
have it by taking it. II you wanted ten
dollars and I had it for you il you would
only come and get it your saying i want
it, I want it, but refusing at the same
time to come and take it, would never
secure it. Now God has everything you
want, but he wants you. not only want
it, but TO come to him and receive 1T.
The first verse of this chapter says there
is no condemnation to them who are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh but after the Spirit. You all know
uhat. cnndamnatinn 10 "-a s'an want 10
relieve OF it. Here is q way by which
this may be done. The Lord wants to
give you his spirit to walk after. In z
Cor. SILT we read If any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature, old things
are passed away; behold all things are
become new Then those things which
brought condemnation are gone, and
new conditions exist. But We read
again in Jno. 3:18, He that believeth on
him is not condemned Then we must
believe. Have you faith? Or are you
still indulging in the works of the flesh!
Is there wrangling and jangling in the
family, and does the father get angry
and abuse his horses? IL you get con
verted even your horses will know it
Further along in this chapter we read
that to be carnally minded is death, blu,
10 be spiritually minded is life and peace
The Lord will strengthen III with al
might SO that we may overcome, and tt
I'LL us with his f~ullness that we may be
like Christ. And all this we may have
by believing what he says"
At $50 p. m. another talk was giver
by Elder Breed, from Is. GIL. "Tht
, spirit OF the Lord God is upon me-, be
+ cause the Lord hath anointed me tx
preach good tidings unto the meek; b.
hath sent me to bind up the broken
hearted, to proclaim liberty to the cap
> tives, and the opening of the prison t.
J then that are bound" This a prophes,
. of the preaching of the gospel, and is a
applicable now as ever. There are few
. but have had their hearts torn ant
bleeding. Here is the comfort for sucl
the Lord has to offer. Those who are il
. condemnation are in the bondage OF sin
Here is the way and means OF deliver

q and when we believe them they are ful

. pie are the branches. 1t 10 the brancI
that bears fruit, but this the fruit c
. faith. The just shall 1--we by faith,-no
< by bread alone. Faith cometh by heal
q ing, and hearing by the word OF God
y life OF faith consists in giving and tai

taking Christ for all he is. A failure I
follow this course results in two evil
Wis: Forsaking the Lord, the fountain

Lord does not cast off and forsake b
people even then, but still loves the
