Beulah Camp Grounds, jamestown
n. d., June 27.-The North Dakot;
Camp Meeting association has at
tracted the attention Of Methodism
throughout the United States, and it
is believed that the fires of a world
wide revival are being kindled in the
state of North Dakota.
Many great men have been pres
ent during the camp meeting and
the addresses and sermons have been
of the highest order. The large Tab
ernacle, which seats $4,000 people,
has been crowded for every evening
service, the interest being intense.
There are W sixty North Dakota
churches represented and the popula-
ton of the little city is at present
1, 900. No police system is necessary
to preserve law and order and the
wheels Of the municipal government
have been running very smoothly.
No commotion or disturbance of any
kind disturbing the services, which
are in session nearly constantly,
from GOO a. n. to 200 p. m.
ChiIdren's Services.
Across from the large tabernacle
is a smaller IN used for the Junior
services, which are in charge of Mrs.
Harvey Reeves CalGins, a returned
missionary from India. These serv-
ices are Of unusual order and the in
terest among the boys and girls is
profound. They are taught how to
conduct their own services, leading in
Bible reading and prayer, while the
testimony, coming from the lips of
the earnest boy or girl shames many
an older Christian. The hope of the
church lies in her Young people.
Twice a day these children's services
are held with a large attendance at
every meeting.
The mission field is open to the boy
or girl who has received such in.
struction. Several Hindustan hymns
have been taught the Juniors and
they sing them with the zest of the
young crusaders, who are ready to
carry their religion to the utter.nost
parts of the earth. 1t is planned to
have the boys and girls sing these
songs at the services in the large
tabernacle.
The song services held every even.
ing at 500 p. m. are in charge of a
large chorus choir. The singers are
assisted by a piano, organ and two
comets. Some very fine solo work
has been greatly appreciated by the
large audiences. Rev. G. A. Weigel
of Miami, Fla, who has few equals
as a leader of song, was called home
on account Of sudden illness, but the
music has been very ably conducted
Oy Rev. Fred Farrand ct Darlington,
n. D. ..#"
Or. Henry Clay Morrison.
For four years the association has
tried to obtain DR.. Morrison to de.
liver regular sermons and this year
they were successful. Dr.. Morrison
is the president of Asbury college,
Wilnore, KY, and is regarded as one
the greatest religious speakers in
the world. The tabernacle has been
crowded to hear this noted man and
the spiritual result of these services
cannot be estimated. All feel e
remarkable power OF the Spirit NOV
ing in the hearts of the people as
they listen, enthralled, to the inspir.
ed words of the speaker.
Or. Beverly Carradine.
Another famous speaker is DR.. B.
Carradine Of St. Louis, Mo. This
wonderful man is consecrated to his
work and leads many souls to the
master at every service. Dr.. Cara
dine is gifted with a quaint sense of
humor and the long-faced religiOnist
is not attractive to the men and wo-
men who are seeking the true relig.
ion Of Christ, which, while laying the
burden Of souls upon the Christian,
makes him SO happy that there is
nothing OIL earth to compare with it.
These speakers realize the hunger on
the part of men and women Of the
world for a deeper happiness than
has ever been experienced by them,
and they preach the gospel in SO at
tractive a manner that hundreds are
coming to God, and asking Of Him to
reveal His great Truth. 1t has been
stated by students of religious sub.
jects that this revival is similar to
the one in Wales, which set the fires
burning throughout the world. The
eyes of the world may soon be turn
ed to North Dakota and the leaders
of this movement give God the glory.
Dr.. Caikins Arrives.
DR.. Harvey Reeves Calkins, who is
probably the best informed nan in
the world as TO how TO finance the
church, arrived Tuesday night. and
delivers an address each morning on
Christian stewardship.
One of the most powerful sermons
delivered during the series of meet
ings was the one delivered Thursday
evening, from the text: ""Thc, Earth
Is the Lords and the Fullness There
Of" The great audience caught q
glimpse Of the Sovereign King of
Kings demanding a return of Gods
land and money to its rightful owner.
