SUNDAY IN CAMP.

Tindall's Grove, Aug. Is As the
morning dawned. although the sun
was obscured by clouds, many people
came in, some on wheels, some in
carriages, others in farm wagons, and
when O'Clock arrived the tabernacle
was well filed. AS soon as the clouds
rolled by and the sun put forth its
smiling countenance, the dusty roads
being PLACID in fine condition by the
showers of the previous night. num-
bers came, not by twos and threes.
but by the dozens.
The morning bible reading was
resolved into Sunday school. Rev.
Hensel. of Viola, took charge of the
bible class, and Rev. Arthur Wood, of
Oneida, OF the young peoples class,
and Miss Ella Taylor, of Rock Island.
the infant class. The lesson brought
forth animated discussion in the bible
class.
At 1890 the bell rang for morning
service. The people congregated in
the tabernacle to hear the word
of God. Rev. Earth offered prayer.
after which Rev. u. II Gilmer, of
Hedding college, preached. Rev. Gil
mer is well known in the dis
trict and always receives cordial
welcome. He preached from the text
found in Chron. %, 22d verse, What
Shall 1 do With jesus" He said:
"A man can be brought to trial but
once for the same offense, but Christ
was tried many times. 1t is per-
sonal question. We are in the same
condemnation as Plate. OF two mo-
tives people generally take the worse.
The answers given to the question -
1.-TWO are of the world and one OF the
lchurch. The claims of Christ on us
first, q teacher; He is not teacher,
but the teacher. Other teachers can
be placed in their age, but Christ is
for all ages, every age and every
Hand" He then compared the pro-
gress of Palestine with the christian
nation. "a teacher must teach the
world what it waited to know. The
Thought of God comes early in child
hood. God answers the question,
lean man live again? / am the resur-
rection and the life. What is nv re-
Ilation to God? / believe in God, the
Father Almighty, maker of heaven,
earth, etc. Christ came to teach this
truth. He came to teach the world
everlasting life. Cicero worked
out the problem of immortality.
Death is not an end to all things, but
an epoch through which we have to
pass. Christ comes 10 teach us
something of the work of soul. We
can not settle questions of the day
without Jesus. We may let Him
alone, but He will not let us alone.
You can't find fossil on an old coin
with out asking the question, What
will it do with Jesus? Every letter
we write, every entry made in the
ledger dates back to the day of Christ
1.-The third answer to the church
crown Him Lord of all. A wonderful
leader was Jesus. Go we into all the
world and preach the gosple to every
creature"
