Sunday was a general sweep of
victory. DR.. Bunce and Rev. Miller
pre- aehed with the Holy Ghost sent
down from Heaven. These men Of
God poured out the truth into hard
hearts until they were melted; into
penitent and broken hearts until they
were healed; into hungry hearts I'M
til they were filled. The preaching
was piercing, lucid and comforting.
No sinner within the sound of their
voices vas spared, each one was
shown his position, and some were
constr aimed to leave the service of
Satan and to enlist in the army of
the Lord.
The prayers and testimonies were
very powerful, 80 were the songs.
Mrs. Miller presided at the organ
and sang with her whole heart,
"Heaven came down our souls to
greet,
And glory crowned the mercy seat"
The children's meeting was largely
attended and the Illustrations quoted
we're exceedingly telling and instruc-
tive. Deed conviction settled upon
the people.
Saturday evening DR.. Bunce preach
ed from I'd Tim. 4; 1-6 and he was
wonderfully used of God. He said
the Christian people should square
their lives by the Word of God and
watch themselves more instead of
other people. He showed how needful
it was that the Word should always
be preached as it always reaches the
heart. Christians should feed on the
Word continually. He said If we as
Christian people are not hungry for
the salvation of others we have lost
our religion He'll needs to be preach.

NUGGETS FROM OTHER HOLINESS
CAMP MEETINGS.
No minister can preach too plain
for an honest man.
The proper Christian either has a
pure heart or wants one.
Sanctification takes out of the soul
the very seed that brings forth a
crop of sin.
The world will never be converted
to Christ until Holiness is the stand
ard of the church.
The Christian that refuses to sur
render himself wholly to God feeds
and keeps alive his depravity.
Holiness is regeneration minus de.
pravitE, plus the fullness of the Holy
Spirit.
1t is not a mark of wealth of intel
lect TIC, doubt Godj any fool can do
that. 1t don't require brains to be a
doubtsr.
If we reject the.truth because ONE
people distort it,. God will reject us
and our glory willfade likea summer
flower.
The way to get ready for heaven lie
to keep ready all the time.
The garments of Salvation are not
usually according to the latest styles
from Paris.
If you prefer to get along without
Holiness God will let you have your
way about it.
No man can have a holy heart who
has an unholy pocket book. The
two go together.
What lively corpses these churches
are that are killed with Holiness.
There never was and W. will be
an unforgiving Christian.
Every protesting Christian who
wants TO get along without Holiness
is a haekslider.
The reason why so few people are
saved is because they obey men in
stead of God.
Hornets, yellow-iacketsEa and wasps
do not love honey. Give it to them
and they will get mad and sting you.
Morality will keep us out of jail,
but it will take Holiness to keep US
out of hell.
Some people who worship their
own brains, would be astonished to
know that the Lord does not care any
more for smartthan for dull men and
that His idea of wisdom is to be bright
enough to accept Salvation.
We call it the ACCOMPLISHING be-
cause there is no blessing after the
blessing of regeneration that can be
compared with it. These two bless.
ings-regeneration and entire sancti-
ication-exceed everything else that
comes to us this side Of Heaven.
