Rev. 8. w. Gamble, of Kansas City,
gave very convincing argument in:
behalf OF the Lords day. The audience
was very much Interested. He has a.
chart thirty feet long to aid him. He
has made deep study OF this subject
and has the whole thing in his head.
He seemed to prove conclusively that
the Jews Sabbath came on a different
day every year. He also proved that
the Egyptians kept Friday for Sabbath.
DR.. James King, who represents the.
church extension society, followed and
gave an excellent argument. He is a
very forceful speaker and presented
his cause to the satisfaction OF all,
In the afternoon Rev. George b.
Shoemaker preached the annual mis-
'sionary sermon. He said: Into the
hands Of the church God has placed
the gospel for the purpose Of showing
how man can grow by grace Itis not
possible for the church to overlook the
Go We into all the world and preach the
gospel. No one is exempt from this
work. When people join the church
they promise to support these mis-
sions. Recent events in the worlds
history have turned peoples minds TO
work. In 1920, when the
society was organized, $500 was used
for this cause. Last year million and
a half. In order that this commission
God gave us may be fulfilled we must
not be idle, but push the truth togevery
part of the world. Let your contribu-
lions be governed by your faith.

ference is Miss Abbie Mills, OF Los
