1t appears that my letter for yesterday
failed to reach Its destination. However
| suppose the world will move along Just
about the same as if it had been published.
The rain OF Yesterday interiered some
what with the usual routine OF procedure.
Since my las, report the TO lowing

A. g George, d. D., S Kitchens, M.
Mcneil, l.. & Manchester, K. Morris,
d. d, of Georgetown, D.C.;J ID. Knox,
OF Kansas.
j. Nick ,Relley, D. d., OF Baltimore is
looked for on Saturday next, and -
De Hass, D. d., ex consul to Jerusalem,

Notwithstanding the ram, families
with their goods continued To arrive all
day yesterday, and the sound OF hxing
up tents, lacking down carpets DC, WAS
heard in all parts OF the ground.
AT 10 30 F. NJ, the Rev. Il II. Hlte
| delivered mos. convincing and
telling sermon from the following text:
"And when the King came in to see the
guests, ne saw there man which hsd
not on wedding garment. And ne
saith uuto him: Friend, how earnest
thou in hither, not having on wedding
| garment? And he was speechless, =
Matthew, 22d chapter, llth to 18TH
verse-of which the following is briet
synopsis: The Scriptures abound
with metaphors, figures, topics
and SMILES. Jesus taught his
disciples in parallels. The Kingdom OF
Heaven is here compared to wedding
in which Christ is the bridegroom and
the church the briee. The wedding
garment represents conversion.
AS the man was elected from the feast,
because destitute OF the wedding ga'-
ment, so without holiness OF heart no man
shall see God. The man at the feast was
instantly detected; so God in the day OF
Judgment will discern between those that
serve him, and those who do net. Saliva
ion is a personal matter. God as well as
this king sees men rs individual beings.
Coniectures as to this mans robeless
condition:
Observation-Disclosures. He may
have relied upon his position or rank.
Second-Pi ocrsstlnstion. His inten-
ton was to do in the future what should
have been done previously. In eter-
nifty the good and bad srs to
be separated: before Him shall be
gathered all nations; and He shall sep
arate them as shepherd divideth mis-
,heep from the goats; the sheep upon the
right hand, and the goats upon the lett.
The wicked are left without excuse
The man was "speechless." Let US profit
by this mans sad misfortune and degen-
Grafton, and using the opportunities OF
the present hour; accept God and prepare
tor Heaven
The manner OF delivering the sermon
was highly pleasing to the congre-
CATION, which was larger than at
any previous loren Don service. Mr.. hite
certainly possesses the gift OF enthraIllng
his audience, as their attention appeared
riveted upon the words OF the speaker
from the beginning OF his discourse to the
end A holy influence appeared to pre-
wade throughout tho entire audience
No doubt much good WAS accomplished.
Of DR.. Geo. Georges sermon, Delivers
to-day, will speak more fully to-mor-
row.
this afternoon attended the young
peoples meeting, and | must say that l
consider them the most interesting and
pleasant of the camp. doubt If parents
properly appreciate the efforts put forth
by the ministers and others for the bene-
fit and IN behalf of their little ones. The
good that may result from these meetings
is incalculsble. There is no time like
early youth to mould the mind and decide
the future OF the coming man or woman
for good or evil Let these meetings,
then, be more numerously attended by
both old aud young, thereby lending
encouragement to those faithful persons
who are laboring so faithfully for His
