Saturday Might.

The night service in the Y. M. was
in charge of Arthur and Eliza F.
Damn. Eliza Damn read from Ps. 80
and spoke especially from v. IL. The
palm and cedar trees.
Twenty-seven different trees are
mentioned in the Bible. The palm
tree and the cedar trne are the most
beautiful in their significance. The
palm is erect, luxuriant and grows
from 40 to 60 feet high. 1t casts off
the old leaves every year. 1t lives
near the water. So water may be
found wherever the palm is found.
The palm has glossy leaves, which
do not absorb the impurities of the
air. The palm is great fruit-bearer.
An old grape vine in Hampton Court,
London bears great punches of fruit
because its roots go to the river
Thames. The bark of the palm can
not be SCARED by cutting because the
sap is in the heart of the tree. 1t is
ever green. Nothing will take it's
greenness away except covering it
up. Fire does not destroy the tree,
but only burns off the harmful para
sites from the bark. The palm has
many and varied uses.
Huts, fire, ropes, coarse cloth, bas-
kets, lumber, food for man and beast
are made from it. The palm is an
emblem of victory. If the head of the
palm is cut off it will die. Christ is
our head.
The cedar is deeply rooted and sta
BILE, of quick growth and full of sap,
and of sweet odor. The wood of the
cedar takes fine polish and was
used in the temple. These various
qualities find their. parallel in the
Christians life.
A short message was given by Ar
thur Damn based on Gal, 5:22. The
fruit of the spirit, not fruits. Love
the core, Joy the Juice, peace the
pulp, long-suffering the stem, gentle
ness the scent, goodness the taste,
faithfulness the shape, meakness the
skin, temperance or self-control the
color of the fruit.

At YEARLY MEETING
Friday p. N.

The peace work of the Yearly Meet
ing claimed the attention of the after
noon session. Alvin Hoskins,of Rich
land, gave an interesting address up
on the subject of Peace" showing
that carnal warfare is contrary to the
spirit of Christionity He based his
address upon Matt 26:52: PUT up
again thy sword into his place; for
all they that take the sword shall per-
ish with the sword" The early church
took this admonition literally as is
shown by sacred and profane history.
This is one OF the foundation princi-
pies upon which the Friends church
was founded and still holds as true.
The committee on evangelistic
work brought forward the following
approved report:
For Genl Supt., VIM. Jasper Had
ley; chairman of evangelistic com
mittee, Alfred j.. Hanson; secretary,
Edith e. Smith; treasurer, Hiram
Hammond. The committee to nomi.
nate members of the Foreign Mis-,
sionary Board presented the follow
ing report which was approved: To
serve two years on the Jamaica Mis-
sion Board, S. NJ Hadley, Henry d.
Lane, A. Edward Kelsey, e. Howard
Brown, Ora w. Carroll To serve one
year, Gilbert l.. Farr. On the African
Industrial Mission Board to take the
place of Ellyson r. Purdy, who has
removed from the Y. NJ, Harry r.
Keats. VIM. Jasper Hadley was ap-
pointed as trustee of Whites Iowa
Manual Labor Institute and Ernest l..
Gregory, statistical secretary.
The Friday evening vesper ser
vice was in charge of Wendell G..
Farr of Oskaloosa. A. Edward Kel-
sey of Minneapolis, preached at the
night service from Gen.12. Abraham,
sojourner, believed God, and fol.
lowed Him though God promised him
no temporal profit. God blesses the
one who gives to God Of his substance
but 1t insults God to give Him a dol
lar expecting two in return. Abra-
ham started, sojourned, arrived.

FOREIGN Missions.

Saturday mornings session of Y.

maica board were read and approved.

Sunday.

The morning service in the lower
room of the Yearly Meeting House at
10 o'clock was in charge of Arthur
and Eliza F. Damn of London Yearly
Meeting. Arthur Damn gave an inter
esting and very practical and helpful
| message from Is. 55: 10: Instead of
the thorn shall come up the fir tree,
and instead of the brier shall come
up the myrtle tree; and it shall be to
the Lord for name, for an everlast-
ing sign that shall not be cut off. :"
The text says instead" not side by
side. In Gen. 3:13 we find the earth
cursed with thorns and thistles, which
are typical,-the thorns the sins of
the disposition and the thistles the
sins of the flesh. The parable of the
prodigal sons shows the first in the
older and second in the younger son.
We cannot attract people to Christ
unless we can attract them to our.
selves. The thorns of Jesus crown
are typical of sin. You can't change
the old thorny heart by tying on the
fir boughs of an empty profession
We need conversion, not reformation.
Conversion deals with the source of
the trouble. The tongue Of the sick
person is not scraped to remove the
coating, but the seat of the disease is
found and treated. The self-sown
crop must first be rooted up from the
garden of our hearts that the crop of
the Lords planting may come to per-
lection. Get quiet before God to hear
His voice. Take the Lord in part.
nership in your business. Allow the
fountain of life to flow in our hearts.
Let God pluck up and change the
garden OF our own hearts as He
chooses. A garden does not exist for
itself but for the owner, and those
to whom he wishes to send its now
srs and fruits.

With the running of the sixth race
at the Fair Grounds track Saturday

as a raceing center this city is In
the foremost rank with the larger
cities OF the lnter-mountaln region,
and also that the citizens will patro-

clean and wholesome manner. The
meeting just closed has been entirely

Favorites and near favorites swept
the card. and the usual long shot that

show. Copper City became unman-

half a mile. The runaway had its
effect upon the horse and he was
never serious contender in the race.
The third race at seven fUrlongs
aroused the keenest interest of tho
afternoon, owing TO the fact that the
race was for horses owned in the
City of Ogden 1t resulted in an easy
victory for Knight OF Iyanhoe, the
favorite. which was held in reserve
