services. and many visitors enjoy
the prea ching and singing. Direc-
tor Trum bauer is busy man, but
he has smile and warm hand
shake for everybody. The camp
is even more successful this year
than last. and the enthusiasm runs
high.
The Rev. M. L. Stewart, of Wea-
therly opened the $50 meeting. In
this meeting, many precious testa.
monies were given in which par
ticipants told how God helped them
in temporal as well as spiritual
things.
Mr.. Galloway and others told how
God had helped them out in tinan-
cial straits
The Rev. Jonas Trumbsurer, the
director of the camp was the preach
er of the morning. His remarks
were based on Ex. IA: 3, For
Pharaoh will say of the children of
Isarel: They are entangled in the
land the wilderness hath shut them
in.
In part he said that Pharaoh was
a type of the devil and the devil
says to Gods people Of today: You
are entangled in the land.' Though
the devil is q liar, he says some
things that are true, and this is
true concerning many. There are
few converted persons who do not
backslide unlese they 60 on to Holi-
ness, the Canaan experience.
The children of God do not get
entangled in the Canaan experience
but get entangled in the wilderness
of experience. The devil likes pso-
pie to join the church and be nice.
He is ashamed Of some of his people
on account cf their actions. The
devil wants men to be moral and
respectable.
At the close of the sermon, a
free-will offering was taken up for
the Home Missionary work.
The 2 o'clock meeting was led by
the Rev. Belden Stiple.

ary meeting was opened. The Rev.
Ferlie Weiss, missionary to Cuba,
preached the afternoon sermon on
the Foreign work from Mark 6:3 4
AZ. He said that the state OF the
heather world is darkness. Christ
commissioned the Church to take
the gospel to all nations and unless
the church does this work, it will
die spiritually. This was an inter-
esting and oulstirring address. At
the close of the sermon a collection
was taken up for the foreign work
to which the congregation contrib
uted freely.
