DEVOTIONAL MEETING

W. A. Spicer, C. P. Bollman, C. C. Crisler, T. E. Bowen, H. E. Rogers, J. N. Anderson

May 18, 6 A. M.

Sunday morning, at 6 o’clock, devotional service in the pavilion was led by Elder G. B. Thompson, who read in opening a selection from the Testimonies in which Satan is represented as carrying on a studied program of opposition to the people of God. He bids his angels visit every gathering of the saints to confuse the minds and poison the hearts, filling them with worldly cares, ambition, hatred, and disunion. GCB May 19, 1913, page 33.1

After a short season of earnest prayer, the assuring word of Jesus that we may ask and receive in his name, was read. That the mighty promise of Jesus brought a message of hope and cheer to the people was evidenced by the fact that so many testified to that effect. GCB May 19, 1913, page 33.2
