OLD ORCHARD BEACH, Aug. 3.
The fourth day of the National Camp Meet
ing here was the largest attendance since the
opening meetings. From every direction We
hicles and people came this morning until 1000
and about the grounds. At noon the Herald
train came In with thirteen cars heavily loaded.
The o'clock meeting was led by Rev. DR..
Gray of Philadelphia. Many took an active
part. At 10 o'clock President Inskip preached
upon "True Holiness to about $500 people
The day was set apart for the discussion of
Holiness" All the exercises conformed to
this idea. At half past ten the children's
meeting was held, conducted by Mrs. DR..
Wood of Baltimore, and Mrs. Fellows of
Portland, assisted by Mrs. Bangs of Philadel
phia, Mrs. Charlotte Holmes, member of the
Massachusetts Society Of Friends, and Miss
Elsie P arlington, formerly of Portland, who
has spent the last four years in temperance
and religious work in Great Britain. About
1000 people listened to an able afternoon dis
course by Rev. DR.. Lowry of Philadelphia upon
the True Christian. The altar service imme-
diate]y after this meeting reached tae highest
pitch of emotional excitement Prayers, songs.
exhortatons and shouts of ecstasy assembled at
the same time, and men Rugged and kissed
each other in transport of feeling. The even
ing meeting, at which Rev. j. B. Foote of
Syracuse preached. was very largely attended
In fact, the fourth day of the meeting has
been thoroughly successful one.

LAYING OUT THE ROUTE.
The Work Of the Engineers,

As soon as he was notified of his selection,
which was on the 21st of January, 1869, Mr..
Anderson commenced the examination of all
feasible routes from Portland to the Saco river,
which would be common to all routes from
Portland to the Crawford Notch of the White
Mountains in width embracing the whole
country between Bridgton Centre on the north
and Cornish on the south. This area compre-
hended three distinct general routes, and
system of preliminary surveys, which, while
maintaining a continuously connected exam-
nation of each Of them, also developed all in
termediate practicable lines and every combi-
nation of parts of the several routes which the
physical character of the country admitted of.
The result Of this examination was submitted
on the Oath of June of the same year, in tab.
ular statement of the several routes. This
statement was obtained from an actual instru-
mental survey of some five hundred miles of
lines, largely through forests and during the
most unfavorable part of an uncommonly in
clement season, the progress of the parties con-
stantly impeded by snow, which, for the most
of the time spent in field work, covered the
ground to uniform depth of from four to five
1eet, making SHOW SuucS dS eSS6utIdl dS any
other part of their equipment. The line sub
sequently located was very favorable one,
avoiding, as it did, rock almost entirely, and,
except near the city of Portland, all difficult
excavation The route also was an unusually
cheap one, while its length was only two miles
greater than the most direct line practicable.
The preliminary survey through the White
Mountain Notch was made by Mr.. Thomas e.
Poverty, assisted by Mr.. j. r. Rust, and show
ed the route to be entirely practicable. 1t was
demonstrated thai nowhere in the Notch would
the grade line be so steep or the work SO heavy
as on many railroads at that time operated in
the country. Sept. l. 1870, Mr.. Latrobe, the
engineer Of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
went over the entire length of the route and
announced his belief in the practlcability OF
the Notch route. Ip 1871 Mr.. beverley made
a permanent location of the read to the en-
trance of the Notch. The grade adopted was
116 feet to the mile. The successful compile
ton of the road through this mountain pass is

Third and Fourth Days-GoOd Attend.
ance and Interest.

The third day of the National Camp Meeting
at Old Orch ard opened with lowering skies. A
gray fog hung over the woods. the ground wa
sodden with much rain, and the trees shed
moisture with rigid impartiality on the just
and infusion the Methodists and the re-
porters. The fervor of the congregation was
not dampened, however, and the morning
audience was the largest SO far. Many people
came in on the late trains Friday, and about
twenty more tents were pitched Saturday
morning.
The usual six o'clock prayer meetings were
held in the morning, and at eight o'clock
meetings were organized in the Biddeford cot
tage, aud the Strangers and Mariners tent.
The exercises at the cottage were conducted by
the Rev. Mr.. Wood, and in the tent by the
Rev. DR.. Alexander M'Lean and the Rev. Mr..
Dunn. Great interest was manifested and the
gatherings are believed to have been productive
of much good.
At 1890 a. NJ. the Rev. DR.. Lowry of Phila-
delphia assembled the platform and gave out as
the opening hymn the familiar and inspiring
words, "Nearer, My God, to Thee" This was
followed by the singing of the 5OOth hymn,
ductory prayer was made by the Rev. Mr.,
Pratt, president of the Maine Holiness Asso-
citation.
The Scripture reading was the first chapter
of Paul's Epstle to the Ephesians. The sing
ing of the 5lOth hymn, 80 that my load of sin
were gone," followed. Dr.: Lowry announced
as his text: Mark, XII chap, q verse-''Have
faith in God" His theme was full salvation
by faith The Old Testament is history of
faith; the New Testament treatise on and
exposition of faith, he said. Faith is both
Instrumental and substantive, "the substance
of things hoped for, the evidence of things
unseep." Faith as used in the Scriptures is an
equivocal term. Belief is its reigning idea but
sometimes it merely means assent The faith
of mere credence cannot save man. Faith is
sometimes put for the entire code of gospel
requirements, sometimes as synonym for the
Christian religion. Its literal and original
meaning is, however, persuasion, knowledge.
trust. The first thing necessary, then, to
evangelical faith is enlightenment, then under
standing, then al-surroundng trust. Faith,
according to Wesley, is not only an assent to
the whole Gospel, bnt full reliance upon the
blood of Christ, and a redundancy upon Him
as our atonement. and life 1t is full trust
that man hath in God that his sins are for
given.

BASE BALL.-There twas quite crowd of
people on the.Promenade, Saturday afternoon,
to witness the game between the old Active
nine and the new Falmouth nine, composed of
young men who, in their younger days, were
well known on the diamond field, Heroes of
many hard fought battle in the days of lively
balls and by scores. The game proved to be
very amusing and roars of laughter greeted
the udicrous efforts of the fielders in their at
tempts to catch or stop the ball. The Actives
took strong lead and at the end of the third
inning had scored % runs to the Falmouths Z,
but Capt. Ladd kept his forces well in hand
and when darkness closed the game at the end
OF the seventh inning the Actives were but five
runs ahead, the score standing, Actives 3S, Fall
mouths 49, In the evening both mines met at
the Preble House and partook of a splendid
supper gotten up in the best of style; here the
Falmouths were the victors, beating their op-
ponents at every point The whole affair was
much enjoyed by victors and vanquished, and
it is probable another game will be played be-
tween them.
We noticed Capt. Leighton and some of the
managers of the Resolutes closely watching
the game, and it is rumored that several of the
Falmouths have been engaged to play with the
champions we don't credit the rumor, and be.
lieve that they were only hanging around to
pick up "points" to be used in their game with
the Live Oaks tomorrow.
A semi profes sonal club has been organized
in Lewiston, on a basis similar to that of the

The speaker proposed to take up faith in the
sense OF trust, as he presumed his audience
sufficiently instructed in religious knowledge.
Faith, in this sense of implicit trust, is want
ing to many wh) accept doctrinal Christianity.
These people lack the self-renunciat;on which
is necessary to the people of God. The re-
mainder of the discourse was an eloquent and
impassioned plea for that sublime self-abne-
cation and unquestioning faith which the
Saviour taught.

was made by Mr.. Inskip. He announced as
the preacher of the afternoon the Rev. Lewis

praying, and then read as his text, Romans vi,
IL: Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be
dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God
through Christ our Lord" This is DIR. Chal-
mers' recipe for holiness, and is in the shape of
a command. The expression is peculiar to
Paul, whose mind was of a forensic cast
Reckon, in its evangelical Specification, occurs
three times in the Scriptures. Paul generally
reekored to great advantage in the cause OF
God. The discourse consisted of ingenious
speculations on the meanings, original and
derivative of the word reckoning" and of
dogmatic deductions therefrom. Mr.. Dunn is
pleasing speaker, fervid in appearance and in
address, with clear, ringing voice, effective in
harangua and exhortation. He advanced the
remarkable doctrine that no man is damned
because be is sinner, no matter how great,
but because be refuses to believe.
