The meeting vas presided over
By Rev w. W. Mitchell OF OK

Rev. l.. ". Cain Of Leland led
the reyiAzl which was attended,
by the Holy Spirit from the frs,
service. We think We have new
er had the privilege 10 be associ-
a,ei in a meeting with a more
earnest snd devoted soldier Of
the cross. He is in deed and in
truth about has Masters business
and il being gl-rious,y used OF

Willingness 20 take up their

something. When G0G's people

life that they are ready to spend

OF Ills kingdom in tho earth,
there will not onl; be joy in
heaven among the Angels but
there will bs moro peace and
comfort and parer living among
the children OF men. Il was not
only the privilege but the duty
OF every citizen of Oxford ana
Abbeviiie charge ID attend and
support this meeting. There vii,
come a time when you apd WI
wish that We had been more Esal-
Gus and more loyal during these
seasons OF religious association
and opportunity. We verisnoly
believe that God appoints these
times and seasons for the strength
ening and uplify of his strug CHING
disciples.
There is no valuation TO b.
placed upon the last days ser

Cain preached upon the .Rssar

word proved without the SHADOW
of a doubt that We shall live again
and that We shall know escn 9th
