Correspr m.lence of The RobcooniaH. The third quarterly conference of the Itobeson pastors was held with our church at Lumberton June 12-14. Enlargement of the Master's great Kingdom on the earth is the one great theme of our preachers, and the picture is not overdrawn when thev boast nf representing a great constitu ency. In point of magnitude, just think of more than five- thousand people whose creed is so holy that human minds could not con-' ceive it, and which is not found in any human book. Holy Bihle, tx,ok livine, Precious trf usure, thou art mine; Mine to tell tnr. whence I came; Mine to teach me what I am. "Mine to comfort in distress, If the Ifoly Spirit Mess; Mine to show, by living faith. Man can triumph over death." , It is not only a privilege but that has not been rolled away; malice, envy, hatred and all kind red passions are the stones that must be rolled before the dead within can hear the call of Divine Love, and this act each must per form for himself. Attention was called to the sin- road company. ner who has been raised from the them Peter and John; who when sepulchre of his own misdeeds, they were come down prayed for but who stands weak and tremb- them, that they might receive the ling in the.light of the new life, Holy Gost:( for as yet he was fal- and who needs the help of those len upon none of them : only they at hand to assist him to break were baptised in the name of the away from the old associations Lord Jesus.)

From the s tan d poi n t th us taken , this command is vital today, and is spoken to eacli and every in dividual, who from a'higher place of strength and control, sees a child of God striving to enter the higher life, but bound by the weakness of the flesh stand wait ing for the personal touch, the personal help that will loose the bonds. The four points especially em phasized during the afternoon meetings were: "He whom thou lovest is sick. " The Master is here and call eth for the." "Roll away the stone." "Loose him and let him go." For the night services, lessons were taken from the parable of the Prodigal Son; a graphic pic ture was drawn or the young man in his health, strength, beauty and self sufficiency, cast ing aside his father's discipline, ignoring the love that restrained nnd rvintrnllorl hin art A tnlrincr his portion of the world's goods, seeking satisfaction in a far coun try; but when he found that the country that had appeared so enticing was in reality "famine land" in all humility came he back to the fatherland;" and 331 the servant met him while a great way off, so' does the Ghurch to day meet the prodigal and- bring him back to the Father. No mat ter how far he may have strayed he may come back to the feast, come back to his Father's love, and alwayB will there be joy for the brother who was dead and is alive again, who was lost and is found.
