BAPTIST Association.

The fourth annual session of the
Camas Prairie Baptist Association,
met at 10 o'clock a. M, Thursday,
June "a, 1897, with the church in
Grangeville. After the usual pre-
liminary business w. N. Knox,
pastor Of the church here, WAS
elected moderator and Miss AIDA
Cable clerk.
The Introductory sermon was
preached by the pastor of the
church with which the association
met; the doctrinal sermon by Elder
W. L. Sneberly, of Kendrick,
Idaho, and the missionary sermon
by General Missionary A. NJ.
Allyn, of Spokane.
The reports of the various asso-
ciational committees, together with
the letters from the different
churches showed the results of the
labors of the past year.
AS these meetings are only adj
visory gatherings, as it is apparent
the first church council Acts XVI
was at Jerusalem, and every mes
senger at liberty to take part in
the deliberations, every suggestion
was freely discussed and the plans
formulated with an eye single to
the glory of him who worketh in
his children his good pleasure.
The marked manifestation of the
Holy Ghost and the desire SO con-
spicuous ON the part Of all to be.
come more obedient to, and with
the mind of the master to con-
tend for, the faith once delivered
to the saints made this the most
blessed assembling together that
the Baptists of Camas prairie have
ever had, SO that truly it must be
said, that to him vino is able to
keep his own from falling and pre-
sent them spotless before the
throne, be all the praise for thus
enabling the sons of men to sit to-
gether in heavenly places in Christ
Jesus.
On Monday afternoon money
and pledges We're given the general
missionary, and thus the mission
airy spirit SO signally manifest dur
ing the meeting given substantial
aid.
The association adjourned on
Sunday evening, June 81, to
meet at Cotton wood on the Thurs
day preceding the fourth Sunday
in June 1898.
Thus ends another chapter in
the history-on Camas prairie-of
the people who for centuries have
been the champions of religious
liberty and who stand as they have
always stood, for total separation
of church and state.
Not by might nor by power; not
by the wrath of man; but by the
power and righteousness of God our
saviour have they stood; knowing
that the gospel is the power food
unto the salvation of every one
that believes.
