WILLIMANTIC CAMP GROUND. | Thursday’s Services Were Grested by Perfect Weather and Large Attend- ance—More Visitors Arrive—Harry Wilson's 54th Meeting. Another beautiful day was enjoy {on the camp ground Thursday. T i weather was perfect. morning [ meeting in ‘the tabernacle at 6 o'clock | was led by Rev. Frank Chamberlain, ! Eastfor@, The 8 o'clock service at the {stafford Springs house was conducted {by Rev. E, G. W. Wesley of Providence land the South Manchester house by W. $G. Woodward, Quarryville. At 10 a. m. the meeting was held in !the auditorium. The praise service was led by Mr, Wheeler. Rev. C. H. Van Natter, Warehouse Point, led the de- | votional service. Dr. Nicola gave his second lecture and held his audience {of several hundred for an hour by his ‘lmost interesting and exceedins!v prac- ! tieal talk upon right Nving, His ijcture | was entitled The Titanic Every Day. Right living, physical. mental, spirit- jual, is the only subject worth talking about, Sin is not natural, for nature i obeys God. Christ came as a sinless human being and thus condemned sin in the flesh. The Bible and sclence agree. Tell the boys and girls what they ought to know. False modesty breeds sin. Children have a right to know concerning their origin. Other- wise evil men will get their confidence and teach them évil thoughts. In the Titanic disaster 1,500 lost thelr lives in a brief time, We were au snocked. Yet far worse calamities uré noticed far less, 'and even sanctioned by law. The ocean drowns a few but thousands are yearly sucked down in the whirl- | pool of strong drink, The decters may | call it apoplexy or cirrhosis of the liver Ibut you know iUs drink, There are {80,000 girls in the United Btates living lives of shame, Don't yeu hear wire- less messages from souls desiring help? | Modern fashlons ruin wemen's health, { The .doctor's ..plain presentation of ! these important themes was listéned to ed he Acts Like Magic is a Liguid Depilatory, guaranteed to remeve & Superfluous Hair From the Face, Neck or Arms ediately and without the slightest e 1o the most dtlicats skin.

Scrivener, led a prayer and testimony meeting_in_the Willi- mantic house, and Rev. W. P. Buck one in the Stafford Springs ho: ‘The: children's meeting at the same hour was held at the tabernacle, and ‘was addressed by Rev. H. E. Dunnack, the evangelist. who told : story about Elijah Kellogg, gran r of the cele- brated author of boys' stories of the same name. He was a drummer boy in the Revolution. He saved his wages to go to Dartmouth college. Mrs. Read, the leadsr, then told of & man saved from drink by his little girl who was converted here a few years ago. At the close Ernest Rose of Norwich took a picture of the children and those who worked in the meetings. At the 2 p. m. preaching service Rev, F. W. Coleman read the scriptures and Rev. C. H. Smith, New London, pray- ed. A trio, Love Divine, was sung by Mrs. M. S. Shippee, Mrs. C. S. Jackson and Mrs. William Carler, Miss Baker accompanying on the organ. Bishop Hamilton, who was expected to preach, was_unavoidably detained on account of the serious iilness of his wife. By | vote of the large audience present & | telegram of sympathy was sent to the bishop. Rev. H. D, Robinson offered a tender prayer for the recovery of the sick one. Rev. Frederick W. Coleman, Norwich, was the preacher of the af- ternoon. His text was Romans viii. 28, “We know that all things work to- gether for good to them that love God.” This statement is more than an assertion, it is the culmination of a great argument, and tells us of the relation of the Christian to the uni- verse. All things work. They don't stand still, They work together in harmony, énd for good, too. Science says for' universal good, but not for mine or yours necessarily. But love of Ged In the Individual heart brings you in harmony with Him and then your life is in God’s plan and faith trusts God even in the dark. Evan- gelist Dunnack closed with an earnest exhortation, telling the touching story of George Matheson of Scotland, who lifted up so many drunkards to Christ. i Evening Service in Tabernacle. The service on Wednesday« evening i was, owing to the cool weather, held in | the tabernacle. Evangelist Dunnack told of different classes of people who ilose God out of their lives. We chart the ocean and place lighthouses along (the shore, we insure our property and | our lives, we study hygienic rules, ali to protect ourselves from losses of { various kinds. Some men lose God.| | because = their heads are not big enough to comprehend the providence jof God. They think God gone be- | cause material blessings depart. Others {lose God, because they can't reason their w: to him. Mere doubis don't damn, but it is being unwilling to take the ohly way out of doubt. Sfen lose God by sin, but God loves us. That means a chance for recovery. Missionary from Denmark Speaks. In a preliminary meeting the audi- ence in the outdoor audilorium was much interested in hearing an address by Rev. Antone Bast, a Methodist min- ister of Copenhagen, Denmark, who has what Bishop Hamilton says is the greatest institutional church ~in the world. Children's homes, hospital work, seaside colonies, thousands of meals for the poor, mothers’ homes, etc, are all under the management of this_great mission. £ After All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name had been sung, Evangelist Dun- nack preached a powerful sermon from Luke 2: 10. Sin always results in death of body and soul. The great thing is to live. A Saviour was once born to bring eternal life to man. Christ had no time for business or politics. He was facing man's great foe, death, and he must conquer that foe for man's sake. He gave a touch- ing incident of a wonderful conversion of a drunkard in Maine. . Notes. Rev. M. S.
