of new officers and this item was laid
over until Monday morning. The jur-
! isdiction of the Iowa Association COM

Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Min

good people about all they can handle.

Friday morning at the $50 meet
ing, the attendants witnessed an I'M
usual display of religious feeling.
The power of the Holy Spirit came
upon the service, with such force
that President Fowler afterward
stated, that he had not seen it's equal
in an experience of over 40 years.
The morning sermon was done away

President Fowler came to Oskaloosa
practically on the verge of a nervous
breakdown and at the beginning of
the camp meeting, he called in few
Of the brethren and they engaged in
special prayer for his relief. During
the progress of the meeting, he has
been gaining strength and at the
meeting on Friday morning he stated
that he believed that he was thor
oughly cured and was beginning to
realize his normal strength. For a
sick man, he has certainly done his
full share of the work and has preach
ed some of the strongest sermons de-
livered on the grounds. His life and
presence among the people is a bene
diction to all.
In the afternoon, Rev. C. w. Ruth
preached on the subject of Christ
ian Perfection" and according to the
statement of many, was the best pres
citation of the subject heard in many
a day. The School of Evangelism has
been holding their sessions at stated
days during the camp, for the purpose
of instructing Young evangelists In
the work. They are given fifteen min
utes in which to preach and then il
I necessary, their work is corrected.
They are instructed as to eXhortation
and how to deal with seekers at the
mourners bench, in both regeneration
and sanctification and thus they are
equipped for active work. These meet.
ngs have been held at els p. m. at
the big tent, previous to the grove
meetings. At a recent meeting of the
county Holiness Association it was
decided to hold several tabernacle
meetings at suitable points and the
latter part OF August a camp meeting
will probably be held at Bussey.
These meetings will be led by county
. workers and they have always been
. seasons of great refreshing to those
I. who attend. They should be as sue
cessful this year.
At the evening service, after the
; usual praise service and a vocal duet
: by Rev. and Mrs. Harris, Rev. w. H
Huff preached a powerful sermon on
The Final Judgment" His text was
taken from Revelations 6:17. For
. the great day of His wrath is come
and who shall be able to stand.
Gods word contains a thread of warn
. ing to the people, from the Book 81
Genesis to the Book of Revelations
This is particularly true of the New
Testament and these warnings are
made more emphatic regarding the
last and final day. The great days o.
history were outlined but this day
will exceed them all First. it will bt
day when our works and actions
. will meet lis face to face. Second
r our words will meet us there and they
will be made known. Third, the Sc

sion of the discourse a large number
came forward as seekers. The ser
mon as a whole made powerful i'm

! On Saturday afternoon special mis-
sionary service will be held, and this
is always a service of peculiar inter

the best.
