CAMPING PARTY WILL START
 TUESDAY

The summer encaEpnient of the Y. NJ c. X. will leave Bisbee for the Huachucas on Tuesday next so that little time for preparation remains for those who desire to take advantage of an outing which passed years of ex- perience have proven to be so desir- able and enjoyable, for this is the fourth season that members of the Bisbee association have gone into camp and each previous occasion has speIt success
 The purpose of the camp is to pro easy life in the open full of clean fun, sport, healthful recreation and the camp is open to and intended for all members of the association over ten years of age.
 Going in a party as the encampment will. reductions are made in the cost of transportation, in the cost of food and maintainance and in every way the expenses of this ten day outing are so reduced as to put them far be- low what could be obtained by the individual or by two Or three individu- als.
 The equipment consists of large sleeping tents and cooking and mess ! tents and the food is wholesome, well cooked and plentiful in supply. There will be special camp features and outings this year as there were in past years and these will be an- nounced during the course of the week. The night campfire as well as the outings of the daytimes is a feature which is deserving of men. tion as the sessions around the blazing fire in the dusk and when darkness falls are always productive of socia. bility and warm friendships as we'll as the bodies of the happy campers.

LOWELL CASE |S MOVED TO
 B|SbEE

Changes of venue seem to be pope lar in cases under the gambling law as passed by the last sessicn of the legislature. When such cases arose in Bisbee they were moved to Lowea and when one arises in Lowell it ix transferred to Bisbee.
 The Smith case was cal ed for tTlas before Justice Murphy at Lowell yes terday with Assistant District Attor- ney Flanigan representing the prose cutiol and Attorney Strickler for the defense. The latter first announced that if Constable Bailey, who conduct- ed the raid which resulted in the sr- rests, should draw the jury, that motion would be made for a change of venue, and Deputy Sheriff Will Whife proceeded to enpanel a jury, but stiz the motion for a change of venue came.
 Just as the trial was about to coms- mence Attorney Strickler made his ms,- , ton and presented his arguments fer a transfer frcm the Lowell Justice court to that of Justice High at Bis ! bee, and this motion was granted Hence .he first of the so-called LOweP
 gambling cases is now set for trial bs- iofc JuSice f1isH at l-oo 'oHoifoW Af terncon
 The other cases, those against Harry Norman, John Fogarty and Jack Hau- , kins, were set for trial before, Justice
 Murphy on August z1, but this does not mean of necessity that they wfy ] be tried there at that time for motions |, for transference of the causes to other
 courts may be made as each is called 1 up. It is probable that the result <tr 1tained in the trial of the Smith case
 will influence the subsequent action
 of the defense.

The word may carry either reference.
And the best interpreters have agreed
that this is so, and have only differ
ed as to which is the prominent idea.
Calvin, the prince of commentators,
prefers the thought of Christ's pres
ent %nearness. So does Bishop Moule
of Durham, who describes this as
the leading truth of the text" So
does Dean Vaughn, who had such Won
drous insight into Scripture teaching.
Whilst other teachers. such as Al
ford, Meyer, and Lightfoot perfer the
archaeological Interpretation of this
terse and stirring watchword. 1t is
my purpose to read the text as bear
ing to us the double message.
/. 1.-THE Lord is at Hand' Locally.
Christ was incarnate here, and is
now inearnate in heaven, but He is
imminent here still. He is near
His traces are everywhere, and ev-
erywhere luminous. He impinges up
on us perpetually. Like an atmos-
phere He %pervades this universe.
Thou are near O Lord sang the
Psalmist, and Paul echoes and glori-
flies the ancient song. Christ said, Il
go away and come again. and He
has been as good as His word,
Christ is "at hand" in Nature.
His is the presence deeply inter
fused in Creation. "All things were
made by Him." and it is equally true
that all things are full of Him. He
is localized in this vale of time.
There is a "Higher %Pantheism" of
which Tennyson SO nobly sang. The
Lord is not all things, but He is
in all things. ''The Lord is at hand
He dWells in every radiant and
sci|ntillating star. He CLEANS and
glOwS in the sunshine. He tabei-
nacles in the many shaped and yari-
colored clouds. He dwells in every
flower that beauties the earth and
fills the air with its fragrance. lie
is at once the life and wealth and
beauty of Nature. Nature, of which
men sometimes speak as if it were
God, is itself thrilled with the sup
ernatural presence of Jesus. All,
He is imminent in nature, and thai
word spelled with a capital. Crea-
ton gains its grandeur and songful-
ness from the indwelling Savior.
We need to realize the cosmic
Christ more wildly.
Then all earth becomes a temple
and we gladly sing, THE Lord is
in His Holy Temple, let all the
earth keep silence before Him." Thus
to know His imminence is to find
Nature rich in spiritual ministries.

Text-"The Lord is at hand"
Pail. " 5.
For the third year in succession the
editor of this paper has been pleased
to ask me for a Christmas meditation.
The honor is appreciated, and l have
pleasure in fastening to comply first
because nj my regard for the editor,
whom | have known now for nearly
seventeen years, and second because
by this mean | may be able to bring
a hopeful uplook to eyes that pos
sibly are all too often riveted upon
things of the earth, earthly.
The text at the head of this column
is a brief and pregnant message. 1t
is even more compaeted as the Apos
tie Paul utters it. What he Literally
said was, THE Lord near Three
words Nc verb was used, for none
was needed. 1t is abrupt to the
point of %dramatism. 1t is a bolt of
benediction.
And at this particular time of the
year is it not good news? To know
that life's highest good is "at hand
is verify a gospel. Christ is here, as
always in the New Testament, THE
Lord" To be assured that He is Eat
hand" or near" is to have a great
calm amid the storm of life. So often
the things We most desiderate are
remote. How much we hear of dis
illusionment" in these days! And
truly the most delectable benisons
seem often to recede with the passing
of the years. The fortune you have
looked for and struggled after. Is
it Eat hand?" Too often, we must
declare, No. 1t is as if it vanished
into greater distance as you pursue
it. But the Lord is at hand," The
culture you have sought so iaborious-
ly. 1t grows to your disappointed
consciousness painfully remote. But
the Lord is at hand" The very love
you have inquired for these stony
years passed further and further into
remoteness. But 'the Lord is at
hand," Life's noblest possibility and
greatest blessedness is within reach
of us all. There is no mocking dis
lance between it and you. The most
precious is the most near. THE Lord
is at hand"
1t was this truth which gave urgen-
cy and charm to the preaching of
the forerunner to Jesus. Repent
ye," cried the mighty and gracious
Baptist, for the Kingdom of Heaven
is at hand John summoned the
multitude to a spiritual good which
was not remote out near The Mas
ter's first public message was nodded
on that of His harbinger, Repent
ye, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand" To a near, an ever available
sinful souls of men. To that same
immediacy of good Paul directs the
minds and hearts of the Philippians
when he exclaims, THE Lord is at
hand" And the joy of the modern
message of the Christ is a present
salvation to all who will receive it.
The stress of the message is in the
words, one word on the pen of Paul
Eat hand" or near" What does it
mean? Does it refer to Christ's i'm
minence or to His Second Coming?
