WiIlirnantic Camp Grounds

Camp Ground, Aug. 25.-Fer the first l time during the week it was somewhat | rainy the fifth morning of the institute 1 Rev. W~ S., Plaxton gave a fine talk on the Holy Spirit The Aussurance of Judgment was the theme.
 The devil is always on the job, as we see in the vain attempt to overthrow the 1 Nolstead act. and ;n this and similar attempts of the devil to work harm to the nation, we sec that the Holy scIrit is ever at work also to put down iniquity. We are workers together with God nation ally.
 Missionary Moore, who addressed the people the previous evening, was asked by Dr. Roberts to take his period lie gave very interesting experience of how he went to the Philippines, and how the missionaries live their every day lives enjoying eentipedes, spider and lizards, i which they get used to and refrain from killing them usually as they seem to be
 useful in destroying smaller pests. He told of how wonderfully the nsissionary work was growing and how they secure l as soon as possible native preachers to l carry on the work.
 Mrs. Cora Downs Stevens gave the i young people an interesting. and practical address in the next period on Through .l the Week Activities. From 1915 to Ills Prof. W. C. Chanter lectured on Romans ' ito the Church at the Worlds Center Tn
 the first chapter Paul draws a vivid pie
 ture of the horrible condition of pa gan
 ism and every word of it is true of
 modern heathenism Our American heathenish way is to bring up our children on the Sunday newspaper, with Mutt and Jeff as hearty food and for dessert the
 comic supplement that they may learn the !, delicate shades of color in modern art. ;, What does Paul write about in this epis- Il tie? The power Of God unto salvation. as recorded in Romans I;16. Now. the [ law could not save. 1t is like | mirror Il to show us our distress. It is simply a 2: guide to lead us to the school of Christ. r Grace alone can save. So n;.ul breaks e out into a wonderful person of praise in l the eighth chapter concern,ng those "in $ Christ Jesus" Paul believed in sin as 9 a deadly fact, whose essence was alien r ation from God, tending ever away from h Him. Paul tells us the only hope for e the sinner is in the propitiating sacri- . flee of Christ. Salvation means taking e us out of sin, and sin out of us.
