Two minutes for sanctificatiol, eight
for rejoicing and the rest for dinner
is the record-breaking schedule for
salvation which was followed at the
Sunday morning service at the Holt
mess camp with Pres. G. j. Fowler as
Header. Twenty people rising as an
expression of their desire for purer
life after the excellent sermon deliv-
cred by Mr.. Fowler, followed his earn
est exhortation and went down to the
altar. Dinner had been announced
for 1915, and at two minutes OF twelve
the speaker stopped his sermon aad
announced the foregoing as a posi-
BILE schedule by which they might prof

reach the dining hall from the taber,
Dacle, and as he was DESTROYS that
those receiving the second blessing
at that time should have at least eight
minutes in which to rejoice before
dinner, he invited only those to the
altar who believed it possible to get
the experience in two minutes. The
