PLEASANT SUNDAY
AT GHOST CITY

Everything having been previously
arranged, the Adventists in camp &C
cording to their custom, observed Sat
urday as the Sabbath, according tc
the Commandment--Ex. 20:3-ll
Contrary to the usual custom th S peo'
pie observe the Sabbath exactly ac'
cording to the Bible plan from evening
unto evening-Lev. 1882
On Friday evening stirring dis
course On the "New Life In Man
through Jesus Christ" was given by
Elder Cottrell. 1t appears that these
people are firm believers In salvation
only in Christ and the reality and
power of the same to save men.
Saturday morning at 9 a m. the
camp was called together for the study
CT Gods Word, In a Sabbath school
service; their Sunday school field Sec
retary, j. G. White OF Jamaica, Vt :,
acting as superintendent Of the school.
The Power and Wisdom Of Men vs.
the power andWisdom Of God, as
brought out in the book of Daniel,
chapters l and 2 were the subject Of
their study.
The secret or mystery Of God re-
vealed to Daniel was only the result Is
OF the power of God in man vs. the
wisdom Of man as shown in the ma
gicians and sorcerers Of Daniels time.
Their next regular service was at
1890, when the speaker spoke en-
phatically from Matt. 20 IS and 7 con-
concerning the Laborers in Gods Vine
yard. Man, through the revelation OF
Jesus Christ IN them are to become
helpers or aids to their fellowmen and
not critics. Jesus Christ he claimed,
did not come to condemn the world but
to save all who would receive him.
Every Christian was exhorted to labor
in Gods vineyard, not as slaves or
servants, but as sons and daughters OF
the most high God.
Following the sermons Re Iival
service was held, in which many Dota
old and young, took part, expressing
their desire to receive this new life
into theirs.
At noontime quite severe shower
came up, but everyone seemed pre-
pared for any such occasion, and all
passed along pleasantly, notwithstand-
ing the unfavorableness OF the
weather.
In the afternoon on Saturday (Sab-
bath) Pastor W. A. Westworth OF this
city spoke from words found In Rom.
l:16-17. Many important thoughts
were presented at this time by Mr..
Westworth, principally among which
was the Importance Of all being IN vt
ashamed Of the Gospel OF Christ, and
Righteousness to be obtained only in
Jesus Christ, Five methods were
given by him whereby man can obtain
this power viz;-lst - understand
or know God or his great power and
goodness unto all men: %, To have the
Judgment convinced Of sin and to re-
alize the absolute need of help: Sd,
The conscience of men must be quick.
ened 4th, The affections sanctitied
unto God, and 5th, The whole will of
man to be changed:
The subject of "The Judgment"
was presented in the evening by Elder
Mattson Of Massachusetts,. Text
Matthew, l6: Is 10. 1t appeared
from his remarks that this people held
religious views quite contrary to their
Catholic friends. The ''Keys OF the
Kingdom" he represented as referring
to the Gospel Of Jesus Christ wholly.
This Gospel having been given to
Peter TO preach to the world, be spoke
OF it as the 'Keys OF the Kingdom"
and whosoevers SINS are forgiven by
Jesus Christ to them the gates Of
lelven are oooned. and to all who will
| not receive it; their sins are retained
', against the day Of judgment and per-
dition of ungodly men.
Religion he claimed was not the
ory to be read out Of the Bible, but
real thing to lie obtained and possess.
