ring interest at the Adventist camp
grounds. Last Monday was an eX-
cursion day and there were many new
arrivals. Others are continuing to
come daily from different points.
Fifty-fve tents are pitched on the
grounds; these are all filled and some
have secured rooms outside the
grounds While there is no excite
ment. deep religious interest is
manifested.
Elder f. G. Gilbert, the converted
Jew of Boston, gave several addresses
at the beginning OF the week. The
unusual spectacle of seeing and hear
ing one born Jew and trained as a
Jewish Rabbi, now preaching the un-
searchable riches Of Christ and saliva
tiOn only in the name ofJesus attract
ed many TO the meetings. His
explanations and illustrations Of the
manners and customs Of Bible times
shed light on many texts Of scripture
that heretofore have been but partly
understood.
On Sunday evening, Elder S. n.
Curtis Of indianapolis spoke on the
New Testament Sabbath" Elder
Curtis was at one time an infidel
attorney but was finally converted
and accepted the Adventist faith from
studying the Bible. BY critical ex-
animation Of the Sabbath in the New
Testament and Of the texts that men,
tion the first day of the week the
speaker adduced evidence In which he
claimed to show that neither Christ
or his apostles ever changed the Sab
bath, but that the original day of rest
commandments of which the SabbaI h
is part, and as clearly taught in the
New Testament as in the Old.
"The Millennium" was the subject
chosen by Elder Guild for his Monday
nights discourse. "The numbe
SEVEN" said he. sis eSpeCially a Bible
number. When God created the world
in the beginning he set apart the
seventh day Of the week as day of
rest. In later times tie Jews were
commanded to let the land rest every
seventh year, and after seven times
seven years came the tiftieth year Of
Jubilee. 1t is evident from the whole
tenor of the Scriptures bearing ON this
subject that the close of the six
thOusandth year of this wOrid's his
tory will usher in the Millenal reign
Of Christ; according 70 e 20th chap

direction of the Iii ghLeOus dead which
will be at the second coming Of
Christ will mark the beginning Of
that glad time " One of the strik ing
points in Elder Guiles' discourse was
that there will be no probation after
death. In proof Of this he referred TO
Isaiah 3S:lS. when the Millennium
begins" said he, 1.-THE gospel work
will close and according TO Revela-
tions %: ii and II, the last decree

One OF the most striking discourspS
gwen thus far was that Of Elder w.
II. Matthews Tuesday evening on the
"Change Of the Sabbath" He spoke
in substance az follows: After the
great God had created the Heavens
and the Earth in six days he laid
aside his work and rested on the
seventh day aud there he blessed and
sanctitied it, and set it apart as a day
OF rest for man-Gen. 2: l-3 Thus it
