Tuesday had beon looked forward 70
as the great day OF the meeting and IN
many respects 1t was thigh day IN
Iaraei." The Epworln League, that lm'
menss organization OF young people,
had charge OF the camp and they showed
themselves well able, under the leader:
ship Of Rev. NJ. l. Canoe, the principal
speaker, to make any day success.
Tho day was all that could no asked. II
opened with much cooler weather than
that OF the past three days, though II
was too warm Tor comfort by midday.
The carly morning service WAS led
by Rev. Spencer King, and was very
enjoyable one TO all who took part In IT.
There were more than the usual num-
her in attendance. Tho arrival OF quite

il is to the young We must look for tu'
turo work. II is to them tina. the
church must look for its support.
These young people must DO equipped
for work, and To meet tho diihcuItic'
they must meet, in this preparation
they must have this Joy snokea OF Ia
the text. This means spiritual Joy;
different from natural iog. Natural JOY
ia evanescent aud chauGeablo, spiritual
is lasting and flows like river. Natural
jov is n cowardiv, biushing thing, spirit
uaI is cool aud bold. Natural JOY comes
from some sudden changhin tho clrcum-
stances Tor good; spiritual comes from
tho honest conviction oil good done.
When the young Christian gives M all
and temptations coma the natural in.
ouiry is "can | make this llfa Sue
Cess?" Yes. you can, ii you have tho
JOY OF tho Lord to help you.
Epworth LeaguerB should seek that
line Of liia they arc prepared TO follow;
the line they can follow with clear con-
sciences. Shakespeare saws CONSCIENCE

spiritual power conscience makes heroes
OF US all-We must no! caro- what peo'
, pie think OF US. II we are sure We arc
doing right. Every Epworth Lacquer
when he opens his hand to feed tho
needy has that hand strengthened.
Some Of the richeat joys otthe Lord are
not Just on tho surface, but we must
dig down deep for them. This JOY
assists in overcoming temptation. II
CiTes us victory in our conflicts with
Satan. 1t is the privilege OF the young
Christian to have such Joy in tho work,
that it will so far excel anything that
Satan offers, tia, he will flee from us.
That the world knows moro about
sorrow than it does about JOY may be
true, but il ia also true that the Joy IL
greater from the sorrow We have borne.
A happy Christian Ia never overcome
by temptation.
It is tho universal verdict that tho
sermon was one OF the best Of the meet
ing. As q pulpit orator Mr. Canoe
surely has few equals. At the close OF
the sermon he called the Young people
around the altar aud for fifteen minutes
the time was spent In singing, praying
and shaking OF hands. Such sCano Ia
rarely seen. The preacher said he was
Methodist from the sole Of his feet to
tho crown OF his head aud he believed
in awingln2 loose aud even shouting II
one felt ike 1t.
