| This stage eliminated with the cry SIT
is finished" There is the stage of
death. Jesus entered the grave, took
the crown from the king of terrors,
wrested the sceptre from his hand,
detbroned him and came forth CRYING
81 am He that liveth and was dead and
behold am alive forevermorc. What
was He? Has He published o mani
festo2 Yes, the Bible is the manifesto of
Christ. In this manifesto lie declares
what He will do for US in the future.
In conclusion he graphically por-
trayed the death of Christian.
The evangelist was frequently en-
couraged by cries of "Amen," "Halle-
luiah" and "Glory." He preached most
Of the time coatless and without cuffs.
| When taking them off he explained
that he was beginning to perspre and
he would need day coat after he had
finished talking. He believed in ease
and comfort. He was not in a high
toned church but at tcampmeeting. Going
in a Yorkshire church coatless would
not cause any comment. He was better
off than the women; they had no leeyes.

boy professed conversion.

scheme to continue campmeeting until
next Monday morning vas unfolded to-

department management and its chief
object is to give the caterers an oppor-

!, Camp was a dreary place this morn
ing but was "a trit1e more pleasant this
; afternoon and tonight. Mud is rapidly
disappearing from the camp grounds,
; but there still is considerable dampness.

, The morning sermon was preached
by the Rev. Henry Sanderson. His text
was Hebrews xI, 6: "They that come to
the Lord must believe that He is and
that He is the rewarder of they that
diligently serve Him"
! He divided the discourse into two
parts. First he discussed the point that
there is a God, The notion of the
existence of God is inherent in man.
1t is manifested in all the human race.
The lowest tribes are worshippers. The
heather Greeks, highly cultured, were
constantly seeking after God, and al
though they worshipped idols they
erected an altar to the unknown God.
The clear revelation of the existence of
God comes to us through His word.

them that diligently seek Him. He
emphasized the certainty of the fulfil
ment of Gods promises. God sent
Elijah into the wilderness at the time of
the famine, promising to feed him there,
and raven brought him food. After

the widow of Zeraphath, where his

Chidren's school was conducted by
the Rev. l.. w. Layfeld. His theme
was Life Written Book"
The nentecostal meeting was enthusi-
astic.
The Rev. E. S. Mace preached the
afternoon sermon. His text was Peter
III, 10: But sanctify in your heart Christ
as Lord"
Peter, he said, was a Jew, so Jewish
, that he occasionally ceased to be u
Christian. Tho ideas of the text are
Jewish. Sanctified is Jewish term.
Christ, as Messiah, is Jewish term.
The idea of Lord is decidedly Jewish
To get at the meaning of the text We
must look through Jewish eyes. When
Jesus was in the earth he refused king
doms, the honor and glory that the
world was ready to bestow, but he
desired to be enthroned in human
hearts.
The text naturally divides itself into
four interrogatories-what, when, where
and who? First, what2 What com.
manded? To make sacred our hearts
Second, when? At Death Gradually
