I may never attend another. I want to see old Lookout mountain again and Snodgrass hill and the battlefields of Nashville and Franklin. I want to rnjt my old comrades, probably for the last time, in the shadow of Missionary ridge, where we fought side by side in the battle above the clouds just fifty years ago. The above is but one of thousands of similar letters that hare bepn received by the local committees from veterans all over the country and which indicate that the national encampment of the Grand Armj of the Republic soon to assemble in this city will be one of the best attended in the history of that organ's tion. The encampment will be far broader Its scope than a mere reun on of tJe soldiers who wore the blue.

In a white city of tents, llie Cumberland conference of Seventh-Day Adventists lies encamped with delegates present from all parts of the state in its annual lO-day conference and canip meeting. Today is tbe Sabbath of these earnest, Christian people and they observed it with ail of the impressive soiemniry which characterized the worship of the ancient Israelite when the SabWath was given to them at the foot of Sinai. And these modern Sabbath-keepers observed the very day given to tbe children of Israel on Mt.

Sinai and covered by the fourth commandment of Israel, for they believe that the Sabbath of Jehovah has never been changed and they observe tlie seventh, not the firat day of tlie wek. They have come together to counsel over the great work which they conceive to hnve been divinely committed to them, the bearing of the meaaage of the lords retnrn to all the earth in this present generation. And in carrying out thi purpose they have sent their missionaries to all the earth, there being scarcely a Voun try on earth where thej are not nowr operating. The stranger would have seen these unojue people called from tlieir bed lo earlv morning worship by the ringing of a bell, instead of the ancient rant's horn tninqict. On awakening they wended their way across the grassy carpet of the camp ground to the great canvas pavilion in the center of the encampment in the wilderness.

Here they engaged in nn earnest devotional service, each consecrating himself to the service and worship of Jehovah for this day. After breaking their fast in the large dining tent in which all meals are served on the cafeteria plan, and all of which arc strictly vegetarian, Seventh-day Adventists believing that to be healthy is a part of good religion and therefore adopting the vegetarian diet, they assembled again in tbe pavilion tent for a Sabbath school which was under the direction of Mrs. Mettie Lenker of Graysvlile, the secretary of the Sabbath school department of the Cumberland conference. At the close of the Sabbath school Elder G. B.

Thompson, of Washington, the secretary of the North American dl-xsion conference, delivered an impressive sermon on "Christian Consercra-tion, and at the close of his address he called upon all present to again consecrate themselves to the service of God. The meeting developed into an unnsual revival service in which nearly all took some part.
