Monster Meeting To Open In oska.
loosa In June.

The Christiaa Witness, OF Chicago,
,ievotes its issue of May 9 to elabor-
ate descriptions and forecasts OF the
national meeting to be held in oska-
loosa next month. Among other
things it says:
1.-THE coming camp at TUSCALOOSA
May 3l,June 10 is unique in many re-
spects. 1t marks the beginning oil an
epoch in the history of holiness in
Iowa and in the nation. 1t is the
first time that state holiness assoei-
alton has been permitted in a body
to visit holiness college. This IS
true from the fact that the holiness
COLLEGE as an institution is compara-
lively new. Iowa ha been building
better than she knew, and 1t IS a
greater day than she is yet aware OF.
Who would nave thought, even five
years ago, that we would be encamp-
ed beside a holiness college in our
own state-a gigantic enterprise,
whose magnitude would nave seemed
impossible few years ago? But here
il is. and it is to be visited by the
largest state holiness association on
earth. And who can tell what God
will bring out of this meeting? Who
can tell how much it is to mean both
TO college, association, the holiness
movement at large, and hundreds OF
young people We are evidently just
in the infancy of the holiness move
ment ia Iowa. Great things are be
fore us. Have you stopped to think
OF the influence of this college in
Iowa for the next ten years? Out
of this fire center are to go sanctitied
young men and women, like Samson's
foxes. carrying fire into all the coun-
try of the Philistines. Three noble
buildings prove It more than vision.
The leaven in these three measures
of meal is to permeate all the sur
rounding country. The young people
of today are the hope of tomorrow.
1t means more for the holiness move
ment taaa we can possibly imagine.
a,Again, it Is an index Of the growth
and strength of the movement. The
Iowa Holiness association has been
something like sleeping giant, I'M
conscious of its own strength. We
are beginning more and more each
year to see that there is something
great in hand. The score of years OF
seeding has produced crop unlike
anything else on eartn. In no cou1
try in the world can so large an asso-
citation of holiness people be found.
More than twenty denominations
Of this church of the living God are
represented. We do not know of
another meeting like it in this respect
on eartn. A new worker will be with
us from the Friends denomination.
THE workers engaged are all that
are necessary from the human stand
point 70 make the meeting a success

Smith, Will H. HUFF and VIM. Pink
ham, editor of the Evangelical
Friend, Of Cleveland, Ohio. The song
services will be led by Eya1gelists J.
NJ. and M. J. Harris. We believe
thousands will rejoice in eternity that
this camp was ever held.
THE auditorium in which the
twenty-nintn annual camp meeting OF
the Iowa Holiness association is to
be held is located on the Ceatral Ho
illness University grounds. 1t is a
large. commodious building and will
accommodate an extremely large au,
dience. In attending the National
and Iowa State camp meeting you also

Holiness university and seeing for
yourself the remarkable work that ma;
been done the past year. Be sure an,
