ing day. During, the week there has
been a large number of arrivals until
the tents are all filled, the houses at
the park are well occupied and extra
cots are occupied in the University
buildings. Several of the recitation
rooms having been turned into tenn
porary dOrmatories. 1t has been sew.
eral years since the camp has been
so generally attended. Many of the
former attendants are here and added
to these are new faces from new To-
cations that indicate the gradual
spread of the work. They not only
come from Iowa and adjacent states
but they come from a distance-Cali-
fornia, Canada, Texas, and as far
east as New York, have all been here
and having seen they will come again.
So year by year the people of the
nation are becoming acquainted with
Oskalosa and they find that it is a
fine place TO come back to. The rOu-
tine program was followed through
out the day. Rev. w. II. Huff preached
one of his inspiring sermons in the
morning, and the people are now en-
joying some of the high points of
their experience. Frequently the mus
ic will start the people and there will
be an almost spontaneous waving OF
handkerchiefs which in a large aud.
fence makes a pretty sight from the
platform.
For various reasons the camp this
year has been exceedingly enjoyable.
The extremes have been avoided
and there has been a unity of Christ
ian purpose and a feeling of loving
fellowship among the campers that
has indeed been delightful. DIR. Nor
rison has spoken of this publicly sew
eral times and the spirit is gratifying
to all. In the afternoon, DR.. H.. G,
Morrison preached from Mark 1875
40 and drew lessons of wisdom re-
garding "a Christian-like personal am
bition that is thoroughly worthy and
there is another kind that is wholly
unworthy. DR.. Morrison told which
one was the best and how you could
secure it and how it should be used
| for the Glory of God. DR.. Morrison is
hot and heavy in his Recommendations
of church ecclesiastics who spend
! large amounts for architectural gran
deur and display and who put up a
| big show before the world in the
name of Christianity, while there are
millions OF souls in the world today
who have never heard of the saving
grace of God.
! In the evening, Rev w. II. Huff
preached from 1st Thessalonians, AZ
Is. Rev. Huff has his own method OF
presenting the word and he never
deviates from it, and there is a de
| vOtional solemnity about his delivery
and his message that nearly always
carries conviction to the nearer. He
! is very simple AMI convincing in his
argument, so that when he reaches
| his climax and gives his invitation
he always secures results.
