A quiet but pleasant time was had
at camp yesterday. While the weather
continued warm ii was more propitious
than the weather of the preceding day.
The morning sermon was omitted for
the purpose of giving the campers an
opportunity to rest. The children 8
service was devoted to music and to
studying the catechism.
+ The holiness meeting was decidedly
interesting. The service resulted in
three conversions, one of the converts
being man 80 years of age.
The afternoon sermon was preached
by the Rev. j. D. Locates. His theme
was 1.-THE Servants Place the Place of
Honor" and his text Matthew %, 28 !:
Even as the Son of man came not to
mi 1cfn b., -. 80 i
give His life for us all. .

Rev. John d. G. Hanna delivered an
address on "Consecration" and 80
persons gave Christian testimony.
The evangelistic meeting held at the
head of the grounds by Miss Boyd was
well attended and deeply interesting.
The evening sermon, which was
preached by the Rev. L.. W. Layfield,
was fine discourse. His theme was
"Christ's Prayer in Gethsemane, !"
and his text Matthew 26, 80: "And
He went little further, and fell on
His knees and prayed, saying, o, my
Father, if it be possible let this cup
pass from Me; nevertheless not as
will but as Thou wilt" The battle
in the garden, he stated, was in the
realm OF the VIII. Ihe agony of the
cross, the assumption of mans guilt
and the becoming sin for us were in
volved in the cup which was held up
to Jesus and from which He prayed to
be delivered 1t was a test Jesus
was voluntary victim, unlike the
victims under the old testament. In
the garden Jesus voluntarily assumed
the victims place. Satan's part was
to frighten Jesus from His purpose by
bringing on Him all the horrors of
the position He assumed in becoming
manis substitute. The unanswered
prayer shows that there was no other
way of saving man than by the shed
ding of blood At the conclusion of
the sermon two penitents bowed at
the altar.
