THE MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION.

The Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby preached in
his church at Twenty secondst and Fourthave in the
mornD g. taking his text these words: ITO the In
tent that now .unto the prncpalities and powers IN
heavenly places might be known by the church, the
manifold wisdom Of God" EpheHans, iiilo The course
OF thought presented was IN the main, as follows:
The great mystery Of God Of which the mysteries OF
Psganism were probably faint adumbratons, derived
from oral traditions and perverted by human inven-
tons God manifest In the flesh, justified by the
Spirit OF angels believed by the world received
into glory In other words the mystery Of mans re-
dempton from sin, which had been dimy prefgured In
the ceremonies OF the Mosaic church. and In the simpler
forms which preceded them. We may conjecture also
that oral teachings from divine helped the earlier
saints to shape their conceptions Of the coming Messiah
This great mystery OF redemption was wholly opened
when the Apostles OF Christ proclaimed 10 the ends OF
the earth As explained by Paul. 1t presents six distinct
features; FIRST the Incarnation the Word became flesh
second the spiritual manifestations that accompanied
IN the miracles OF Jesus and the Apostles third, the
presence OF angels 10 witness the wonderful work

which the church lost its limited, distinctly national
character and became universal fifth the evidences OF
the universally of the church In faithful lives of

The Methodist Episcopal Winter National
Camp Meeting opened yesterday morning the Taber
nacle IN Thryfourth-st, between Seventh Eighth
ayes, under the charge OF the Rev. Drs nskip aud
Mcdonald. The sermon was preached by the Rev. DR..
Inskp, who In his Introductory remarks stated that
within the past 10 days, with Dr. Mcdonald, he had
travelled 5000 miles and attended $50 exhaustive
meetings and the ndisposition arising from this
sure work must be his plea for any seeming want Of
life. His text taken from the Episile to the

In response to his call 40 so persoas went forward

spent In prayer, ana the remarks made by many
gave evidence OF the power of the address. Services
were held during the afternoon and evening and will
be continued during the next ten days in the same
