"Visions that come at the close of
life's day" was the subject of Dr.
Craig's sermon Thursday night. In
the comments he said: "Moses had
a Vision of Entering the Promised
Land, I pray thee let me go over and
see the good land which thou has
promised." Moses dreamed and saw
visions and one of his chief ambi-
tions was to put his foot in the prom-
ised land. Those who amount to most
in the world dream • dreams and see
visions.
If we are to have the sweetest vis-
ion at the close of life's day:
1. We must have sin taken out of
our lives.
2. We must be faithful even unto
death.
God expects those who represent
Christ to be faithful.. If a man has
been faithful what is death?
3. We must magnify the cross.
The cross of Christ stands as the
sinners only hope. We must magni-
fy the cross on which Christ died.
Dr. Craig closed his sermon by
contrasting illustrations. One pic-
tured the misery, dread and horror of
the visions which came at the close
of life's day to the lost soul as it en-
tered into eternal punishment. The
other illustration pictured the beauti-
ful, peaceful, rest and happiness
which came to the soul as it journeyed
to abide with Christ forever.
"WHAT LACK I YET?"
Dr. Craig, in delivering his sermon
this morning on the subject "What
Lack I Yet?" made the following
statements: What we do for youth
today we are doing for civilization
tomorrow. Speaking of the story of
the rich young ruler as recorded in
Luke, the 19th chapter, he said: "This
man was upright, honest, loved his
neighbors and was respected by them,
lie was a model young man. No
wonder he asked the question "What
Lack I Yet?"
He should be commended because:
VL.
1. He realized the lack of some-
thing. He did not feel satisfied.
2. He went to the right one to find
out what the "lack" was.
3. He desired eternal life.
"What good things shall I do to ob-
tain eternal life ? Sad is the man
who does not desire eternal life. This
young man wanted the best thing in
life at a bargain price. He was not
willing to pay the price required. No
young man can afford to ignore re-
ligion Unless he expects to be a fail-
ure.
Somethings lacked in our lives were
mentioned:
1. A real knowledge of His Word.
2. Faith. The greatest lack of the
church today is the lack of faith, not
lack of wealth, numbers and educa-
tion.
3. To properly witness for Christ.
How do we represent Christ when we
do our work of preaching, teaching,
giving and singing.
A movement was started at this
mornings' service to paint all cot-
tages, dormatories, and buildings on
the camp ground. The campers be-
lieve in the gospel of paint which is:
"Save the Surface and You Save All"
The money to purchase the paint will
be given by individuals, B. Y. P. U.'s
and churches. The following have
agreed to paint one or more cottages:
Gaston Avenue, by W. Marshall Craig,
Dallas, 2; Gulf Baptist Church, 1; El
Campo, 1; Robt Jolly, 1; T. C. Gard-
ner, 1; First Baptist Church, Palac-
ios, 1; Prof. Pool, Baylor U. House;
Ft. Worth, Ft. Worth House; H. C-
Ellis, Houston House.
SAN MARCOS B. Y. P. U.'S
By Daisy Lewie
MRS. HANS BUSCH, A
LEADER OF WOMAN'S
WORK IN TEXAS
Women from the first days of the
early church have been eager to be
workers for the spread of the Gospel.
They were interested in Christ before
the church at Jerusalem was organ-
ized. Think of the New Testament
women who ministered to the Lord;
Mary, Martha, Mary Magdalene,
the mother of Jesus and many more,
whose names are mentioned.
The churches of all denominations
are indebted to woman for carrying
on when sometimes the faith of man
waned and their energy has become
a lifeless thing.
So this Encampment would not be
complete were a course in Woman's
Missionary Union not available.
The women have enjoyed the book
called "Straightway Toward Tomor-
ow," under the teaching of Mrs. Hans
(Continued to page 3.)
We have been having the largest
attendance in the history of our
church in our B. Y. P. U. organization
this summer. We had 302 present
last Sunday night.
Our aims for this summer are:—
1. A Standard General B. Y. P..
U. Organization.
2. Eleven Standard B. Y. P. U.'s..
3. 200 B. Y, P. IT. awards
4. Weekly Cabinet meetings.
5. Two new B. Y. P. U. organiza-
tions.
6. Average attendance, 325.
7. Six extension programs.
8. A B. Y. P. U. Revival.
9. Programs varied so that we
may have a different program
each week.
10. Prayer and public testimony.
11. Ten soul-winning bands. (Each
B. Y. P. U. a soul-winning or-
ganization.
12. A daily prayer meeting held at
the church.
13. Win two bannrs, attendance and
efficiency, at State B. Y. P. U.
Convention in San Antonio, in
November.
NOTE:—We recommend to all of
our Texas B. Y. P. U.'s the above
challenging program. Such a pro-
gram assures large crowds, attracts:
the attention of the unenliated, and
develops all the workers for real he-
roic Christian service.—T.C.G.
