UNION MEETINGS ARE
BECOMING POPULAR

Regardless of the sweltering wealth
er of Sunday afternoon, record
breaking crowd attended the open air
meeting that was held east of the Ban
ner office at five o'clock by the
churches of the city. The seats.
which have been ample for the seating
of former congregations, were soon
filled and the ushers were compelled
to place more seats on the lawn to
afford accommodations for the com
ing congregation.
Following the singing, led by a
splendid choir. Rev. Chas. NJ. Pease
delivered his message for the evening.
The theme of his sermon was the alb
solute certainty of a mans sins find
ing him out. From this theme, Rev.
Pease deduced numerous excellent
thoughts and to prove his assertions
cited references in scripture where the
sins of the evil doors had found them
out.
The open air meetings held by the
union of the churches are becoming
popular with the people for several
reasons. The hour is such that they
can attend the services without
detracting from the quiet enjoyment Of
the afternoon, and reach home at an
early hour The air is as cool and
refreshing as the temperature of the
day will allow and does not have that
stuffy feeling that characterizes the
air in the church buildings in the
summer season. Several of the men,
who were willing to cast style and
precedent to the winds, appeared
without coats, and in few instances
were collarless. The innovation was
comforting to them and sanctioned by
their fellows and the ladies'

be continued throughout the summer

TELLS OF MEETING
OF FREE METHOD|STS

The Free Methodist camp meeting
Sabbath evening service, July 5. Owing
to the very busy time of the year, and
state there will be camp meetings held
during the months of July and August,
the attendance was not as large as was
anticipated However the woods
seemed filled with people, and repre-
sentatives Of Free Methodsts were
there from several States. Bishop w.
T. Hogue of Indiana was in Europe
and could not reach the meeting in
time, so he was not in attendance
much to the disappointment of many
who had a desire to see and hear him.
The clear and deeply spiritual SER
mons preached by Bishop Pearce, A.
L. Whitcomb. w. b. Olmstead and
others were indeed an inspiration to a
better life on the part OF the thousands
who listened to them. Such meetings
will surely bring to the church a re-
newal of life and power, resulting in
the salvation of souls. We earnestly
hope it will be so.
The Fourth of July was celebrated
in an appropriate and patriotic man.
ner. The entire camp put on an air
of patriotism. Streets. auditorium,
and tents were decorated with the
dear old national flag. There was
conspicuous absence of firecrackers
but we were not without fireworks,
such as usually characterize a live
Methodist meeting. Bishop Pearce's
sermon at ten o'clock was mastery.
His theme was, Freedom" He based
his remarks on the scripture found in
Romans So For the Spirit of life
in Christ Jesus hath made me free"
In the afternoon at three o'clock
Rev. A. l.. Whitcomb spoke from
Isaiah 21-11-12. "Watchman what Of
the night? Waterman what of the
night? The Waterman said the morn
ing cometh and also the night" In
his sermon the speaker showed how
God had cared for his people, and told
Of his care over and blessing upon the
Anglo Saxon peoples, the spread OF
the English language to nearly all
countries of the globe and Gods hand
in the discovery of this western world.
The speaker showed also that the
American saloon is one of the greatest
sources of crime. and misery that
exists and that it's legaliZed existence
and perpetuation by the government
is a crime against every decent citizen
in the land "The night cometh" and
our safety lies in the Public School
with the Bible restored. The prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic by constitut-
tional amendment with true men in
office TO enforce the laws and above all
the religion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1t was estimated that 5000 people
were on the grounds, Sunday. The
who looked after the enter
tainment of visitors reported having
placed lac autos and 512 horse car
