Vesper Services
Tuesday Evening
Inspiring, Helpful
From Assembly News.
To say that everyone has en-
joyed the Vesper Services each
afternoon during the Encamp-
ment is but a mild expression of
a fact that has been made more
pronounced by the beautiful trib-
utes paid to the speakers by ma-
ny of those attending. When
the announcement was made that
the services on Tuesday evening
would be in the form of a boat
ride, everyone had a vision of a
very unique and beautiful ser-
vice, but none expected to be
taken to such heights of inspira-
tion and devotion that we were
lifted to, by the preachers who
preached and the singers who
sang songs of praise and thanks-
giving to God.
Promptly at 6:45 p. m., seven
boats put out from our pier.
Each was in charge of a conduct-
or and they were as follows:
Messrs. Phillips, Gardner, Farm-
er, Carson, Wiley, Mead and
Chastain. On each of these
boats was held a short service
and then just as the sun was
sinking, seemingly into the sea,
amidst a blaze of red, gold, pur-
ple and blue, six of the boats an-
chored around the choir boat,
which had proceeded directly to
the place chosen for the unified
service. A good breeze had sto-
len in from the gulf, filled the
sails, and caused the waters of
the bay to' roll in endless suc-
cession. Each wave reflected to
our eyes the glorious sunset and
as the choir sang "The Old Rug-
ged Cross," in memory of Mrs.
Jolly, our hearts and minds were
filled with the thought that God
is and that He lives on high. The
exact beauty of the scene cannot
here be expressed, as more than
three hundred people stood be-
tween sea and sky and listened
to Rev. Gulp, of Port Arthur, as
he spoke of "Isaiah's Call." The
text of Rev. Culp's sermon, was
that each of us has a calling and
that it is our duty to find that
calling through prayer arid the
study of God's word with a view
of finding oneself. Many of us
do not pray enough and true it
is that if we will humble our-
selves before God, in earnest de-
sire for a knowledge of His will,
He will answer our prayers and
will lead us in the paths that He
would have us walk. Jesus, Paul,
John and others were in constant
touch with God and often went
apart to pray for his guidance.
God has given us a book that we
may know his law, His promises
and His desire that we serve
Him in spirit and in truth.
Through the study of this book
we can catch a vision of how we
can render service here that will
bring joy to the hearts of the
angels in heaven. Service then,
after such fashion, would result
in less failures and more success-
es in life. How we do thank
God for His word and for the
privilege of serving Him as His
children until we shall go to that
house not made with mortal
hands.
At eight o'clock the boats re-
turned and the people proceeded
to the main pavilion where we
were all made very happy when
at the call of Dr. Gates forty-
three young people went forward
and dedicated their lives to God
to be nsed in any way that He
should call them. This was no
doubt a result that had as its be-
ginning the service on the wat-
er. This sesvice was so thor-
oughly enjoyed, a unanimous re-
quest has come forward that we
have at least two such services
next year.
Miss Norma McTntire of the
First Baptist church, San An-
tonio, reported sixteen represent-
atives from that great old church
were attending the Palacioa en-
campment this year, and that
most all of them would stay un-
til the closing service.
Dr. E. F. Adams
of Galveston, Says:
The relaxation has been very
wholesome, the recreation has
been very splendid, the training
in classes has been of a very high
order, the addresses from the
platform have been very inspir-
ing. Our young people should
go from the Encampment great-
ly helped toward efficiency in
Christian work.
To one who has never been to
Palacios before, the Encamp
ment has been far better than
was anticipated and many say it
has been the best for many
years.

Mr. and Mrs. G. Martino drove
over from ElCampo Sunday for
a few days with their relatives,
the F. P. and 0. C. Arnold fami-
lies. Rapheal stayed over for
the remainder of the week.
Mr. Blanchard Belknap came
Saturday for a short visit with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Belknap, but was called to his
home in Dallas by the sudden
illness of his wife, who at last
reports is not doing well.

ward for any information leading

There were between two and
three thousand people at the ser-
vice Monday night. The gate
keepere say that approximately
5000 different people have been
in attendance at the convention
and encampment this year.
The very many good friends of
Mr. Robert Jolly, the famous
musician of the encampment,
will be grieved to know that he
and his sister, Mrs. A. C. Max-
well, were called to their homes
in Houston Monday by the illness
of their mother, who had passed
away a short time before they
reached her.
The Texas Baptist young peo-
ple wish to express their appre-
ciation for the services rendered
by our grounds manager, Mr. T.
A. Bullock and his good wife.
Through their untiring efforts
the grounds are more beautiful
than ever this year and the visi-
tors have found the cottages
clean and ready for use which
means a great deal. We realize
that Mr. and Mrs. Bullock have
their hearts in this work and are
putting forth their very best ef-
fort to render service to the
young people of Texas.
I call your attention to the
heart hunger of the world
for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
If we were as anxious to
send the message of the gos-
pel as the world is to receive
it the church would live in a
perennial revival.
Our churches today are
face to face with the great-
est religious opportunities of
any time in the history of
the world. The people of
the world are breaking away
from autocricy in church and
state and seeking other kinds
of leaderskip. Shall we per-
mit them to drift into liber
alism and infidelity while
they are going througn this
period of social, industrial
and religious meet.
The need of our clftarch today
and young people is for the pro-
pelling power of an enlarged
vision and the church or churches
which refuse to lift up their
eyes and look on the fields are
doomed to failure. The sadest
aspect in this world is the lack
of vision.
IF
If you can trust the Lord when those about you
Heb. 13:5 Are going mad in search for gain and gold;
If you can look to Him when the world without you
2 Tim 4:3,4 Is sneering at the message He has told;
Psa 23:2 If you can feel His hand nor move without it,
1 Cor 10:10 Or led by by Him don't murmur or reply;
Matt 5:18 Or believe His Word and never doubt it,
Matt 5:44 And lied about can pray for those who lie;
Matt 23:8 If you can make the Lord your only Master;
Cor 1:31 If you can make His glory your only aim;
Rom 5:3 If you can meet with failure and disaster
Isa 145:1 And still sing praises to His Blessed Name;
Matt 6:33 If you can set your heart on things above you
And forgetting the things that are behind
Phil 3:13,14 Can run the race for Him who has loved you,
Phil 2:5 And let the mind of Him be, too, your mind;
Luke 12:33 If you can turn your back on all earth's treasure,
Matt 0:20 And count the world's rewards as filth and dross;
2 Cor 5:15 And let Him use you of His own good pleasure,
Gal 6:14 And find your glory only in His cross;
Rom 12:1 If you can give your heart and mind a sinew
John 0:66-69 To serve Him long after others are gone;
And hold to Him when there's nothing in you
1 Cor 2:3-5 Except the faith which says to you, "Hold on."
Deut 5:24 If you can talk with the King of Glory;
Gen 5:24 Or walk with Him and feel his sacred touch;
Rom 1:15 If you can give your life to tell His story;
Col 3:3 If you can hide your hopes and aims as such;
If you can fill every passing minute
John 9:4 With sixty seconds' worth of service done,
Matt 5:5 Yours will be the earth and everything that's in it,
2 Tim 2:12 And More—You'll reign with God'B Eternal Son.
