The fame of this mountain of the
Lords holiness has spread far and
near. Widespread revivals have fol-
lowed every meeting. Those who
have been converted or reclaimed or
sanctified there come to the next
meeting bringing with them those
who have been wonderfully stirred
by what they have heard. If you de-
sire good accommodations, or any ac-
commodations at all, it will be neces-
sary to write at your earliest oppor-
tunity. Especially is this the case if
you desire to avail yourself or for
your pastor or for some evangelist or
for some worker, of part of the fund
for providing homes or travelling ex-
penses for those who cannot pay any
or all of their expenses. IL your re-
quest reaches us in good time we are
seeking to divide this helping fund so
as to do the greatest good to the
greatest number.
Among the new faces and voices
and ministries that will greet us this
year will be that Of Rev. Dr. H. C.
Morrison, evangelist and editor of the
4 CHJCtOOttt IIfIutu. ne Is hIOWIl
from one end of this country to an
other as very eloquent and effective
preacher. Evangelist c. E. Cornell
will be with us part of the time. This
is Brother Cornell's first visit to
Mountain Lake. His ministry of the
past few years has been greatly owned
of God. Come hear these brethren.
We might also state that the ser
vices of Rev. DR., F. d. Gamewell, the
hero of Pekin, China, in the recent
outbreak, have been secured. His
sermons are filed with thrilling mis-
sionary illustrations from his own
actual experience. He is a preacher
Of great power.
OF course, we expect great many
of those who have shared with us
from year to year in the delight and
profit of this precious means of grace.
Pastors, evangelists and workers
who want to learn the way of the
Lord more perfectly and also to learn
any ways of doing things for God
and holiness that may be an improve
ment upon the spirit and the methods
of even such skilled laborers in the
service OF the Lord as they have long
been, under the holy influence of this
place, either become wholly sanctified
or, if already sanctified wholly, are
sent forth commissioned and re-
| enforced or thoroughly furnished for
every good word and worship and
work. Our editress evangelist, Mrs.
f. K. Williams, once wrote: "Under
the call of DIR. Fowler, over three
hundred ministers, most of them pas
tors, went down in the straw together
to swear eternal fidelity to the cause
OF holiness 1t was scene surpass-
ing description. More ministers are
sanctified yearly at Mountain Lake
Park than at all other camp meet
ings put together that l have ever
attended,
Any halfd of the hundred or
more pastors or evangelists that
eagerly throng this ground from year
to year would be considered abun-
dainty sufficient to manage the most
Of camp meetings, even holiness camp
meetings, and what must be the effect
OF such a gathering, of one accord, in
one place, not in an upper room, but
in Gods own temple in the upper re-
gions, all filled with the feryor of the
Holy Ghost and speaking with pen
tecostal tongues of fire. You have
been reading of those prominent in
holiness ranks, among preachers and
people, whom you have long desired
to see and hear and be associated in
holy fellowship for at least ten pente-
costal days. Well, here they are, al
most every one, from time to time,
some one year and some another,
whose names and influence and labors
have been as ointment poured
forth" almost the underworld over.
We well remember the first evening
