There appears to be but one opinion
rs to the Judgment exercised by the rs
socistion in selecting the proper person
to manage the boarding tent on the
prounds. Never since there has been
camp meetings here, has there been such
good order, system AND prompiness dis
played as by Mr.. II. 5. White on Sun
day last. II is no small matter to furnish
meals for 1000 people In one tent OF the
size of the one on the ground
here, The liberal privileges granted
Mr.. White IN his FIVE years, lease,
guarantee that he will meet the hungry
and thirsty crowds with refreshing
lunch, or u good square meal at very
low price. l understand that he propo-
sea next year 10 make very materlsl I'm
provements, especially in the sleeping
department of his hotel. That he has
succeeding in rescuing the boarding tent
from msLy complaints heaped upon 1t In
former years, is certain.
John Cassidy, Thomas WEIGH, Noah
Nicholas, and Pat Finnedy, OF
Wheeling, and Henry Swykert, OF
this place, succeeded in escaping from
the lookup here about noon to-day. In
quiry at police headquarters failed to ex-
plain what the guard on duty was dong
whilst the above named gentlemen were
tearing up one OF the boards OF the moor
and making heir exit.
As my communication OF Sunday
evening lat failed 10 reach You, | now
send YOU short ske.ch OF the very able
sermon delivered by Rev. K. Morris, ID.
d on Sabbath morning, from LIST John,
9Th chapter, and 4lh verse, subject:
Christian faith rs u conquering prlncl-
psl." 1t is q we'll settled maxim OF re-
Iigion that every man who Is true
Christian ga rs victory over the world
Faith is the means by which the world is
to be overcome.
I The nature OF the faith which con-
quers the world.
lst. Faith is universal principal and
IS expressed by the word trust. The
merchant and farmer are men OF faith.
It is this principle that binds society to-
geJher.
I'd. The quality of the faith must be
determined by the nature OF It's object:
a. Christian faith has Christ tor It's
object.
l2.) The act OF faith by which the soul
embraces Christianity includes TWO ideas
the asset of the mind to the truth and
the control OF the will 10 receive Christ
US u personal Saviour.
III. The manner IN which Christian
faith conquers the world.
LIST. 1t is conquering principle, be
cause 1t is belief IN Christ Ms the Saviour
from sin.
"a. 1t Is couquering principle,
because il embraces the present an visi-
BILE with the future and invisible, and
presents the future AID invisible ms the
most attractive.
3. 1t is u con9uering principle because
il calls To its aid ths power oil God.
4. Finally because 1t gives US victory
over the fear of death and the grave
Application; Ii you do not conquer
the world it will be sure to conquer you.
The Doctor presented the above points
in such u clear, logical and torclble man
ner that they could not fail to deeply
affect his hearers
The following brief synopsis gives but
very inadequate idea of the eloquent
sermon preached by Rev. a. G. George,
D. D., yesterday evening, from the text:
81 do not rIstrate the grace OF God"
Gal. 2 chapter, Dist verse.
I his is personal experience, and a
personal experience Is always interesting
because it NAV be our own. Grace ls
the free unmerited love and mercy OF
God Obshsusen renders the text: al
do not do sway with the grace of God"
end DIR. Albert Barnes says the word rem.
dered Illustrate, properly means to dis.
place, abolish, abrogate; hence to make
void, to render null Whist the apostle
asserts then is, II do not dispIace, make
void and nuIlify the free eternal love OF
God, designed to secure my salvation"
In showing how the grace OF God is
frustrated the Doctor made the following
points:
l. The grace of God can be frustrated
There is 10 such thing US irresistible
grace.
3 The concurrence of Divine and
human forces are necessary in order TO
secure our salvation.
3. This agreement of the sinful
creatures with the just and holy
Creator requires sacrifices and de-
votion. The Apostle says: 81 am
crucided with Christ" but cruCii-
cation is not pleasant process.
Christ says, Except man gives up all
that he hath, he cannot be my disciple"
4. 1.-THE grace OF God be not frustrated,
then Christ liveth in us, and we have q
grad ennobli G lite in him.
b, Ii we are not now saved and meet
for the Mas.ers, it Is because the grace OF
God has been frustrated. This grace has
heen frustrated by over self will by
worldineSs, by love of sensual grstifca-
ton, and by shrinking away from
Christian duty.
i. How great the happiness of that
state in which the grace of God is not
frustrated. 1t was urged in conclusion
that the uutrustrated grace proves the
super human character of Jesus, the
power and Deity Of the Holy Ghost,
the unity OF the Christian faith,
and the personal character of our rehg-
ion, who loved me and gave himself for
me-
An urgent appeal was made to the un-
penitant and back slidden 10 cease from
treating the grace of God, and to WELD
