COMMEND WILSON
AdventiSts Send Message Of
Approval to President.
Closing Days Were Busy Ones
at Adventist Camp.

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 5.-The clos
ing days of the Adventist campnIeet-
ing here have been busy ones. At the
last business session a telegram was
sent to President Wilson expressing
appreciation for his efforts &c keep the
nation out of war, and also his sue
cessful efforts to avert the threatened
railroad strike. A memorial was also
sent to congress protesting against the
passage of certain bills now before
that body which Adventists- deem are
an infringement in the religious liber-
ties of the American people.
Elder J. T. Boettcher, an Adventist
missionary who has just recently left
Russia and who has been in charge
of the Adventist people there for some
years. was present at the meeting the
last few days.
The Sabbath school on Saturday was
a big occasion. Eight hundred per-
sons were in attendance, some having
left the day before. It is estimated
that 900 persons attended the meet
ing Fifty-four candidates were I'M
nlersed in the beautiful Neosho river
which skirts the camp.
Progress in Juvenile Work.
A large bookstand has been main
tanned on the grounds turnout the
meeting, where over $500 worth CT lit
erature was sold to the campers and
visitors. A large variety of denomina-
tional books and papers were for sale.
The music furnished at the auditorium
has added much to the attcactiveness
of the meetings from first to last Mr.
oliver Beltz of Lincoln. Neb.. has had
charge of the large choir. Much spe-
cial music was rendered from time to
time.
The chi1dren's Bible and Nature
Manual school in charge of Miss Min
nie Stevens, an experienced kinder
garten teacher of Dodge City, reached
a considerable measure of progress
this year, and seems in a fair way to
be firmly established as a permanent
branch Of the children's ca1npmeeting
work.
The closing sermon of the meeting
vas delivered by Pastor D. E. Huff
man of Centerville, Kan, the subject
being THE Seventh Day Sabbath"
Mr. Huffman entered into extensive
arguments to show why Seventh Day
Adventists keep the seventh day Sab
bath.

Mrs. Bartlett says it surely is a great
medicine, the good it has done US was
indeed a surprise. If you will give it
a thought, it is simple CRUDE herbs in
harmony with nature. Don't be too
wise for your own good. a real wise
man always investigates. You do like

judgment. Call at A. c. Klingaman
