REHoBoTH BEACH, DEL, July "a, 1874.
Still the weather is all that could be desired. 1t
is cool all day long and every seems to be enjoy
ing themselves so much that we feel like repeating
1t in every letter we write.
The bathing yesterday was unusually good. The |
largest crowd was gathered at the shore at IL ock
that has ever assembled to battle and witness those
participating in the delightful exercise II 10 the
most pleasant sight, we often behold so many in |
the surt when the laughter goes up and rends the
air with jollty.
Yesterday the sermons were remarkable good
the first being preached by Rev. q. d. Watson,
OF Dover, from the text: "Ths Day of Pentcost
was fully come" Acts, 81 lie said the control of
the universe can be divided into two divisions, viz
influence, and the spirit or force and persuasion
thus it was with reference 10 Gods manifestation
to men, for on Mt. Sinia, the first peuticost, he
gave the threatening law, but at Jerusalem, the
second penieost, he swayed the hearts of men by
the sole influence of his spirit at the first there
was no access 10 The heart Of God-no man was
permitted to his face, which al the second the
heart of hearts was upon the cross and the vale
had been rent in twain from top TO bottom. The
first external era OF speech was an era OF fear
which eliminated in the first Penticost, while the
second great began when at the age of twelve
years. lie conversed with the wise men aud had
its elimination in the second passover indicated
by the tongues like unto fire. But there is yet
another era TO come when He, setting upon the
great WnltP throne, Will WelCOWe ttOS6 tutt uhVt
been redeemed and washed in the blood Of the
Lamb. This was an eloquent sermon which
held the large audience spell-bound Tor twenty
FIVE minutes. Dover should be proud Of such a
| preacher.
The longing desire Of all to hear Rev. Dr. Guard,
| Of Baltimore, was satisfied in the afternoon by
| the grandest and most eloquent sermon that has
been delivered upon the grounds. The Ia &c
| crowd was held spell-bound for an hour and a
| half leaning forward TO catch every Immortal
paragraph that fell from his lips like sweet mes
| sages fresh from the very throne of God waited
upon angels wings. Every word was distinctly
| heard and understood by all. The Doctor grad
uated at Dublin, and has been preaching in this
| country about three years.
Ills text was from, Revelation chap. and
| 10 verses, "Was the vision OF the multitude OF
| angles clothed Ia white robes around the throne
| OF Cod" &c.
| The view of Heaven presented in this passage
| is emnenty practical. From it We learn that
| Heaven is the home of the obedient, of the Holy
and Of the viruous. l. OF the obedient before the
| throne" man is made that his well being may be
| the result of well doing. His existence is i'll q
world where law pervades and presdes over all
| things His redemption from the guilt and power
| of Sin restores to conscience the throne within
his spirit and empowers his will to obey the
precepts of his God. His new life opens with
the prayer "Teach me to do Thy will" His
prolonged experience constrains him TO exclaim
ain the keeping Of thy commandments there is
a great reward" His exit from this life and his
entrance into another and better, may be sum-
med up in one grand sentence "Blessed are they
who do his commandments, for they shall have
| right to the tree of life and enter through the
gates into the city" II. of the Holy. "White
robes the Gospel of Christ is distinguished for
the provisions it makes for the publication OF
| men; the Doctrines are according 10 Goodness
| Its promises given "that we ought to cleanse
| ourselves from all filthiness Of flesh and spirit
Its gift of the Holy Spirit is that 'ws might be-
| come partakers of the Divine Nature" the ex-

less, separate from sinners" Ia one word the
| Gospel comes to "redeem us from all inlquity
for, "without holiness no man can see the Lord.
The home of the virtuous life is struggle
. for existence. 1t Is so In relation to physica
existence, TO mental existence and tC spiritua
existence. The principle of struggle DEVELOPS
| all that is noblest In our nature. 1t demands
self control, surplus courage, eultivates decis-
ion and these three are essential elements In
all lofty characters. Every inch onward 10
gained at the cost of battle. We fight tt
win, we fight to retain. What we have won
Heaven receives the strain with the shout
"more than conquerers and once there ''tht
enemies We saw to-day we shall see them
| again no more forever"
Q In the evening Rev. j. II. Hargis, Of Phila-
delphia, preached from these words '.f'
| shall be wise as -" Gen. g. and 'Viet the'
behind me Satan," Mark 1, which was {
master piece and was well delivered appre
ciated by the audience and brought many to
| the altar.
After the afternoon sermon the improve
