their grounds northeast of the city.

will also be special services each
Sunday to which every one is in
vited. The organization includes all
sects and beliefs and every one is
invited to visit the camp. The meet
ings are held in the old camp ground
formerly belonging to the Methodists
of the city which was bought by the
association three years ago. This is
the annual meeting and it is expected
that it will be unusually we'll
attended. The members are very
enthusiastic and all are doing good
work. An unusual spirit of earnest
endeavor prevails and as they express
it they are come together ''to lay
aside worldly cares, to keep house for
God and to win the souls for whom
Jesus died"
The one universal prayer of the
faithful Abrahams, the daring Dan
iels, the toiling Marthas and the
trustful Marys is, Lord send whom
thou wilt, to help press the. battle to
the very gates" The faith of the as.
ISOLATION is that God is taking the
meeting in his W hands and is
arranging the work for a bountiful
harvest of precious souls. The open
ing service was full of power and
great blessing. The songs of redemp-
ton were full of glory, the numerous
prayers we're fervent and with the
earnestness of the spirit. The Psalms
YER carefully selected by the
evangelist:-Except the Lord build
the house, they labor in. vain that
build it, 1911 will lift up mine eyes
to the hills from whence cometh my
help, 121,-I was glad when they
said unto me, let us go into the house
of the Lord, 122, and the testimonies
were in harmony with the word. Ex-
tract of Gods promises from the
book of Joshua for the encourage
ment of the meeting: Every place
that the soul of your foot shall tread
upon, that have 1 given to you,
There shall not any man be able to
stand before thee, l will not fail thee
nor forsake thee, Be strong and of
good courage, This Book of the law
shall not depart out of thy mouth,
but thou shalt mediate therein day
and night for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous and then thou
shalt have good success, For the
Lord thy God is with thee whittier 81
ever thou goest, Then Joshua com
manded the officers of the people
saying pass through the host and
command the people," And they
answered Joshua saying: "All that
thou commanded US we will do, and
whittier 80 aver thou sendest US we
will 60" And Joshua rose early in the
morning. And Joshua said unto the
people: ~"Sanctify yourselves for to-
morrow the Lord will do wonders
among you" And the Lord said
unto Joshua, Third day will begin
to magnify thee in the sight of all
Israel, that they may know that as l
was with Moses so / will be with
thee" And Joshua said: Come
hither and hear the words of the
Lord your God" P. P.
