Publishing Association Secretary Tells
of Growth of the Work-over 1900
Books Taken Yesterday - Work of
Colporteurs.

In the camp meeting of the Seventh
Day Adventists on the Valley fair grounds
last evening Pastor F. S. Hartwell of
Randolph spoke his subject being The
Restoration Of the Earth In part he said,
quoting from Luke 1910, that Christ came
to seek and save that which was lost
In the fall of man three things were lost,
his character, his Iife,s and his. ,domin-
ion, which was the earth. Salvation
therefore involves the restoration of these
three things.
When this earth came into existence,
, it was real earth and man was a real
man. Man was made upright but has
sought many inventions. Among the IN
ventions of man is one that we sprang
from monkeys and Stadpoles, while the
earth came into existence not by the mir
aeuous power of God but by the process
es of evolution.
The promise is that through Christ the
earth shall be redeemed in answer to the
prayer that He taught His Disciples
Our Father which Cart in Heaven :"
This gospel of the Kingdom is to be
preached in all the world as witness
and then shall the end come This end
shall be the end of sthe kingdoms as is
brought to view in the second chapter of
Daniel. In that chapter the symbol is
without hands, which is to smite all the
kingdoms of the earth and become a great
mountain and fill the whole earth. This
stone, the apostle SAID was Christ, the
rock of ages, who will establish king
dom that will eventually fill the whole
earth. Then shall the desert blossom
as a rose and the knowledge of God shall
cover the earth as the waters cover the
sea. There shall be no lame, blind, nor
sick; no trouble of any kind, but land
Of perpetual JOY and peace, in a real earth
Inhabited by real people
l.. w Graham secretary of the Review
and Herald Publishing association of
Washington, ID. c.. was one of the leading
speakers yesterday afternoon He said
in parts
During the last year of the war many
evidences were seen sof Gods care and
help in difficult timess Although materials
needed in the manufacture of books We're
hard to obtain, yet many times different
firms would write us saying that unex-
pectedly, perhaps, they had secured some
stock which we could use and would give
us an option on purchasing. One day
one of our publishing houses received a
car of paper under government seal. This
seal gave this car of paper right of way
over all other freight The publishing
house never knew how this seal was
placed upon the car, neither could the
railroad company explain The car Of
paper arrived just at a time when il
was greatly needed.
The last annual meeting of the con
stituency of the publishing association wa'
memorable one as it was the 10th veal
