the MEETINGS HAVE CLOSED.
Sunday Was the Closing Day for the
Holiness Campmeeting-New
Oficers Were Elected.

Officers Were Elected.
Saturday and Sunday were great
days at the camp ground Of the Holt
ness Association. Rev. Geo. Book, Of
Cotton, led the morning devotional
meeting Saturday in which spiritual
fervor ran high.
At 1O:3O Rev. Damon, of Mitchell,
preached a strong and blessed SER
mon from Acts 1:S.
At $3.50 p. m. Rev. Bud Robinson
took charge and choose for his text
Deut 4:37, SO, and showed that God
brought people out of the bondage
of sin that he might bring them into
the blessing of holiness. He used as
an Illustration of the christian life
or experience mamma and showed
that as the mama spoiled IL not in
a golden vessel so the christian life
! spoiled if not sanctif1ed.
Saturday night the largest crowd
assembled that had yet appeared on
the grounds this year up to this time
and listened to a powerful sermon
on "The Diseases of the Soul, from
the text Malachi 4:2. Mr.. Robinson
proved that there are diseases of the
soul and that conversion did not cure
them. He showed that these diseases
are anger, pride, jealousy and i'm
patience and that the carnal mind
breaks every law of God and there
fore should be removed.
Sunday morning dawned cool and
pleasant and in consequence an I'M
usually large crowd gathered for the
services of the day. Love feast was
held at S:45 a. M. and was led by
Rev. E. Underwood, of Mt. Vernon,
in which great blessings came down.
At 1880 Rev. j. W. Rosenberg,
of Yankton, preached with power
from list John 1:6. His subject was
Fellowship" and he took up the
Greek word for home and showed
that the Greeks put all that was
beautiful inside while they had an
anti-chamber where business was
transacted only those of the closest
intimacy ever saw the inner room.
So God might do business with pen
itent sinners but only as they came
to the intimate relation that holiness
brings could they enter His inner
chamber.
At $3.50 p. m. Rev. Bud Robinson
preached from the text found. in
John 11:44. He said in part that
every man is bound spiritually, that
he becomes sick, dies, is buried,
iputrifes, but that Jesus can bring
him to life, we'll and strong but must
then be free from bondage of carnal-
ity.
At $3.50 p. m. Rev. Bud Robinson
preached at the closing service of the
campmeeting. His subject was: why
1 Believe that the Judgment Day will
be a Great Day" He showed from
scripture that all our words, all our
works, all hidden things, and cover
ed things and secrets, will be known
and judged and that men of all sta
lions in life will seek death and not
be able to find it. There was unusual
evidence of Divine power in the SER
vices and many more added to the
number who were blessed thereby,
Until a late hour people shouted and
sang and babe each other good bye,
and so broke up the most successful
meetings that have yet been held
by the association.
At the business session encour-
aging reports were received and plans
made for q bigger meeting next year
and for many improvements upon
the grounds. A forward movement il
planned to begin in the near future
that it is hoped will not only put the
association upon its feet but aid
every church in the state that can be
reached in its spiritual life.
