''The Folly of Disobeying the Truth Revealed
/ by the Crucifxion Of Christi
The text "a q severe reproof Of the daIlatiAns
] for having been 90 easily seduced BY false
teachers from the doctrine Of salvation BY
faith. The text may be brought down TO the
present day and be regarded as applicable tc
all who. reject the Gospel. The following
points were then noticed: The truth revealed
BY the erucihxion Of Christ; the doctrine Of the
cross reyeab the truth as regards Gods
method Of saving men; the eruclfdoh reveals
the truth Of mans tAll and the means Of hil
recovery tia elearest proof Of our fallen con-
ditoA is By the light Of the cross; the cross
reveals the only method BY which God can be
Just, and yet the justtler Of man r. the pecu-
liar scheme Of the Gospel to answer the de-
mAnds of the law BY substitution The doc
trine Of the crucihxion, therefore, q that men
are saved only by the exercise Of faith in the
blood of atonement. The folly Of disobeyng
the truth revealed by the crucifxion; the dis
obedience Of the truth Is not the result Of
sound reason, but Of soEe peculiar facination.
This moral beWitchment may be traced 10 two
causes-the love o. the world and the infiu-
ence of Satan. The worlds seduction Is In its
influence, and Satan deludes men by quenching
the convictions which the truth has produced;
by raising objection to the truth; by getting
men TO procrasttnste their conversion. Notice
some OF the evidences of this bewitehment-

CAMP ACoo1IMoDATIoNs
Is the grocery and provision store, kept on. the
outer edge Of the camp and on the road to the
railroad station by Mr.. Geo. E. Gsttrell, of
Washington. The store, is about fifty feet
long by sixteen, and is literally crowded with
goods Of every description, from paper collar
to q complete outfit Of family groceries. A
neat room has been partitioned Of for an ice
cream saloon, and the beauA and bellies from
the country round about, the latter clad In
gaudy colors, with ehignons, panniers and I'M
mentionables in great prominence. Some of
the most amusing scenes OF the camp are trans
piring at this spot, and the
ToNsoRIkL DEPARTMENT.,
which Is under charge Of two Of the colored
gentry from the First ward, known by the
eognomens Of Professors Logan and Day.
The professors Keep the toilets Of the gentle
men here in city style. and sand-paper the
heads Of the country youths, who, aping the
city styles displayed here, order q hair cut Of
the latest agony. The wearer Of an auburn or
gray mustache frequently enters the professors
apartment, and BY the application Of some
magic bloom Of youth he comes out with the
aforesaid hairy attachment blacker than q
ravens wing, and Is damaged TO the extent of
g small package Of fractional currency, for
which Professor Logan eoniesses to peculiar
and unconquerable love,
A butchers stand, laden with all varieties Of
fresh meats, brought to camp each morning
is largely patronized BY those families who are
providing for themselves here. Gentlemen
With we'll market baskets are 2s com
monty TO be seen here as in the city. And so

TIE TRAINS YESTERDAY CROWDED.
Tho excursion train to the GAithersburg
grounds required over twenty
cars to transport the passengers, and all Of
those were crowded to their utmost capacity.
Last evening the cars were sent back 70 the
grounds with one engine to draw the train.
After being loaded the cars moved of at slow
rate, the locomotive with considerable diff
Guilty drawing its immense load Of human
freight. It pulled and snorted, but travelled ex-
slow, and finally when Silver Springs
station was reached It gave out, disabled. The
fact becoming known 70 the passengers con-
siderable speculation was indulged IN as TO how
they would get TO the city, and signs Of Worn-
ment was depicted on the countenanees Of
some on account Of the fears of harm that
might be aroused in the minds Of those at
home in consequence Of their delay. Finally
word was sent to the depot here and another
engine dispatched TO their relief which arrived
in due time, and brought them all back in
safety. A. 7. L.
