There is no Christian experience

from temptation. Satan is not dead,
as you will find before you get many
miles from thsee camp grounds; but

soul. The devil is vanquished foe;
Jesus has met him and defeated him.
i
tial to victorious life: The intense
conservation which is made once and
for all. This is pledge of an eternal
yes to the whole will of God. Too

I'VE must be obedient and we must
be faithful in testimony. God has UNI
dertaken the contract to take us
through and he will do 1t il we will
be true. Sanctification will make you
equal to any circumstance or condi-
ton in life. This is Gods plan for
you, that you may stay on top in

There are three reasons for conse-

able service. Third, for our highest
efficiency in his service. This is a
guarantee of victory. If Jesus can

He can also cleanse you from the sin
of your heart-life. sn
What breath is to the body, faith
is to the soul. Keep on believing.
God has given us the air and the
lungs and power to breathe, vet God
won't do this for us, so we must
breathe ourselves. This is gift OF
God. Likewise with faith. You can
believe if you will" s #

A great need was seen along the
missionary line and in order to spread
the doctrines of Holiness into all
lands the members of the National
association believed that Foreign
Missionary Society should be organ
lied. At the business meeting of this
body on Saturday of last week a COM
mittee was named to look after and
report the latter. They report that
such an organization should be an aux.
iliary society of the National Holiness
association, and that the missionaries
who have asked for assistance and
who are on the grounds should be sent
into the foreign fields. t
The afternoon program on Saturday
was turned over to the Missionary
movement, and in the front of the

missionaries to be sent out, have
been laboring. The four missionar-
les are not handicapped like some
are because they have been on the
field before and have worked among
the people. Mr.. and Mrs. Cecil Trox-
ell and Mr.. and Mrs. Cowman are the
two missionary teams who will be
sent out this year Mrs. Troxell and
