vent camp Wednesday evening was
pronounced by an outsider to be the
best he ever attended. Elder Geo. B.
Starr, a missionary from Australia,
spoke to the congregation from the
words, II know that whatsoever God
doeth it shall be forever" Eccl. iii:14.
He said in brief:
God began His work by creating and
He connects the work of creation with
that for the salvation of men. 1t en-
courages US to know that the one as
well as the other will De forever. The
earth eventually will be inhabited for
ever by holy beings, as was Gods pur-
pose in the beginning and Israel. which
is the family name for Gods people,
will be saved with an everlasting SAL
walton. All who WILL may partake of
this salvation in it's fulness and not be
ashamed.
We should not make provision for
sin, for we may grasp by faith the glo-
rious truth that it need have no dom
inion over us. We need to get hold of
the idea that God is dealing with sin
forever. If we fail to overcome, the
difficulty is not with our Saviour, for
He is able to save to the uttermost.
and the same power that created the
world will recreate us in Righteousness.
He has undertaken to save people
out of this generation for all eternity,
and He will do it. He says. look unto
Me and be We saved all the ends of the
earth. We may be saved from sickness
and pain as we'll as from moral weak
ness for Christ is a complete savior.
Vho told of 1rk q hlp in -
stances of physical healing which he
had experienced and witnessed. He
said that the Gospel of health and the
law of health should go together. THE
command to the one healed physically
is to go and sin no more" The one
who keeps on breaking natural laws
cannot expect to remain well We
should pray for good. sound comm on
sense. The law of physical health is
written on every nerve and muscle and
fiber of our being and we may have the
moral law written on the heart and II
thus written, it will read the same As
it read on the tablets of stone. the Sab
oath commandment included. and that
saws the seventh day is the Sabbath,
for whatsoever God doeth He doeth for
ever. We should abide in Christ and
let him subdue every imperfection in
our lives"
Elder Butler followed with a testi-
mony concerning Gods power to save
from sin, stating that for many years
he was a skeptic and poor material
for a minister. but God worked IN ms
life and made him a preacher Of right

1t was announced that if arrange
ments could be made DIR. Kress would
give a stereopticon lecture Thursday
evening.
Yesterday was beautiful day for out
door meetings and the jewellers IN the
tents in Waterville rejoiced. The WORN
of the conference was considered In the
early forenoon meeting. Plans are being
laid for much aggressive work in various
parts of the State and especially in Port
land during the summer. Three large
tents will be manned with laborers and
pitched in various localities. one Of which
will be Portland. Elder o. Montgomery
the president of the conference, urged
the brethren and sisters to cooperate In
the work with their prayers and finan-
cial aid. Over $500 was raised in few
moments to help pay the debt on the new
church building in Portland
Elder w. B. White took the stand at
1O45 A. M. and by means of blackboard

standard of perfect righteousness, mans
crooked and imperfect life. and the life
of Christ as a covering cloud. He said
that it was Gods purpose when he Great
ed man that the life should be on straight
lines, but sin came in and marred The
perfect plan. God has never changed
his standard of righteousness. which is
His perfect law. but Christ lived perfect
life on earth for us. which we may ac-
transgressions and in His strength we
may go on overcoming sin.
I'VE give Him what he has bought
namely, our sins, and He gives us His
perfect righteousness. He removes our
sins from us as far as the East Is from
the West; He casts them behind His
back and into the depths Of the sea. II
is our privilege to be pardoned by grace
and accepted in the Beloved. The Law
is not abolished when we accept Christ
by faith, but our sins are forgiven and

can never pass the judgment because OF
what we have done. but Christ will plead
His blood in behalf Of every soul''
The afternoon service was opened by a
beautiful duet sung by two young mon
after which Prof. Longacre, principal Of
South Lancaster Academy, gave a stir
ring discourse on Submission to Cod
taking the life Of Abraham for a text
He said that the hardest thing in life
Is for one to surrender the will wholly
and completely to God. and that the
world has yet to see what God will dc
with perfectly surrendered man.
Abraham had to surrender country
home, kindred. natural rights, self, the
opportunity to become suddenly rich and
also his only son. Everyone Is called
upon to be willing to surrender all il the
call should be made-to lay all upon tha
altar. II we leave everything to God He
Will plan for us and great will be our
peace
The service was closed with the an
