CAMP MEETING PROGRESSES

The white tent city of Seventh Day
Adventists at East First and Mott
streets was enlivened yesterday by
large gatherings of adherents Of the
faith of the near-coming end Of the
world. The large assembly tent was
we'll filled during the three main SER
vices of the day.
At the morning service Elder ]. O.
Corliss, recently from England,
preached on the topic Training the
Children and Young People," direct
ing his remarks to parents and teach
ers. He said In part:
According to the promise of Abra-
ham, the Jews claimed to be his
children, but were not the followers
of his precepts. Their religion was
attended with empty forms and cere-
monies and therefore devoid Of spir-
ituality. Mere form of religion, unless
attended with the power of the spirit
OF God, is useless in saving mankind.
II man is given this spirit and con-.
tinues in its precepts, he will prosper
in this world and inherit a haven of
rest. but unless filed with the spirit,
his life here and hereafter will be a
failure.
Abraham as Model
1.-THE apostle said, If we are the
children of Abraham, we will do his
work When we think of Abraham
we re Nlize the value of his religion and
the sacrifice he made in giving up his
only son, Isaac. We wish to consider
that Abrahams family life was
model worthy of emulation today.
There is no blessing from God that
is available to the human race today,
except for the same purpose 1t was
given to Abraham.
MANY people today indulge in
agreeableness away from home, but
their home circle is disagreeable. OF
all places where we need family affili-
ations it is In the home. The parents
should show before their children the
gentleness and confidence becoming
to the right bringing up of the little
ones and as they grow older they can
appreciate the value of the home cir
Gle. Bring religion down to practical
issue in our home life and the home
ties will be united in Christian faith
and virtue"
At the afternoon service Mother"
White delivered lecture, dwelling on
temperance principles, making plea
for the temperance cause and advocat-
ing that money squandered for liquor
be used for missionary purposes.
In the evening Elder Simpson
preached an interesting sermon.
Eat No Meat
Arranged on the grounds are several
tents, representing the several sanitar-
iums conducted by this denomination
throughout the United States. These
adherents Of the seventh day in the
strict sense of the word hold peculiar
ideas of hygiene in the healing of dis
ease
While it is not rule with them not |
to partake of flesh food, it is a custom
adhered to by many of the sect All
highly spiced foods are eschewed, in
cluding pepper and mustard. Tea and |
coffee are also prohibited.
Iona Linda sanitarium. costing over
100000, was recently secured by this
denomination for $40. 900 and is now on
a sound financial basis.
While the members believe the end |
OF the world is not far distant. they
are doing all they can to build up the
work OF the church here, both spir-
itually and materially. In the mean
time, many Of the i'll are recovering
their health under the simple hygienic |
treatment Of this denomination.
