RRHoBorH BEACH, July -, 1874.

Everybody this morning is "as happy as a big
sun flower" but We hear these words fall sadly
IRON all sides, "Oh, I'm sorry that the camp Is
going to break" Yes, the parties that are here
would be glad to stay another week. The great
monotony at other camps is broken here by the
variety OF interests and pleasure at the Surf
House and at the shore.
The camp closes tomorrow morning. and We
are sorry, for VIC will have no immediate for
for our Tel +. Scope, but we hope-yes, we will,
Deo r0lelte, be here next year, aud we hope that
many of your readers will be with us to see the
foil operations OF our instrument.
The bathing was INDUCED IN freely in the
morning. The surf being good the intants gos-
lings and ducks were all out.
"If any man wilrcome after me, let him
deny himself. and take up his cross aud
follow me, Math. 1924.
He said that the time had come in the pro-
gress OF this meeting, when he supposed
many were inquiring what they must do to
be saved. For the purpose OF answering this
question he had selected as bis subject "Tne
conditions of discipleship.' The work or
salvation was one To be performed Jointly
| by God and man. Each had his part to pei
form. He hsd no fear but God would pei
form his part Alright. Our great concern
should be that We fulfil the conditions re-
quired of u.s. These are three in number

asked a similar question, believe in the
| Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved"
| These were special requirements in particu-
lar cases; but the three conditions of the text
are to all alike. Jesus says: of any man
will como after me-" Let him do these three
things, ITO deny himser' does not mean TO
deny something 10 SELF. Itmeansto disclsim,
to rsnounce, to disown self. 1t means sell
abnegation. Seltishness caused the first sin.
In. order 10 become like gods, our first par
hralr az Tl,te
ciple of devotion to self in disregard OF the
rights OF others, leads to fraud, robbery, and
murder and to every other crime which
promises gain to the perpetrator. Self must
| be ignored as the chief end Of our life and we
must live for God and our fellows IL we
| would be Christs disciples. Such life will
| be followed by rich eternal rewards to self.
The true follower of Jesus would deny self wers

having pleased God and done right But we must

and power, and it might lead to prison and death
They might love him intensely. but eau they trace
