While walking through the encamp-
nent early this morning we noticed J. A.
Lancaster and ], NJ. Richards measuring
and taking plan OF the grounds in order
to make an estimate OF the work and cost
Of constructing fountain and bath
houses. We understand that the plan Of

ing ot the Association on the Sd Of Oct.
The carly meeting this morning was
conducted by Rev. W. F. Cannon.
The sermon at 10 A. NJ. was preached
by Rev. F. Ball frou Heb. vi, l, "Let
Us 20 on Unto Perfection" l. In what
seuse are we to 60 on unto perfection ?
As the child leaves the alphabet and as
the builder leaves the foundation, so the
elementary principles Of religion are not
to be neglected. Every science has its
recognized axiom; these not 10 be set
aside; so in religion, upon these funda-
mental principles religious character
must be built up. In conversion this
foundation Is laid.
Without this there can be no Christian
perfection or Christian experiences. A
penitent sinner does not pray for entire
sanctilication but for pardon. When sin
is pardoned all sin ia pardoned, but that
is not sanctifcation. Reference was
here made 10 the arrangement of our
hyms in which the Bishops and leading
men OF the Church assign 10 sanctifica.
ton aseparate and distinct place from
justification and regeneration. Who will
question their competency in the premi.
sis.
To the foundation laid in conversion
We are 10 add all the Christian graces.
These are to be in us, nor laid off like
useless lumber only to be used when we
are about to die.
Some pupils graduate early and some
nerr graduate; and SO it ia in religion,
some are very slow learners and some are
very apt scholars.
In religion the preliminaries or pre-
paratory sters may he called the gradual
work, but that is no more part or parcel
Of entire Sanctiiication than the drill OF
the soldier is part Of the battle.
Growth in sRnctifed state in the ma
ture Of the case must be more rapid than
in justified state.
Some evil habits become second nature.
Christ taught that these must be "cut of
and plucked out and cast away from u.s."
We had better bleed than die.
live may not be saved from sin inter.
nally and externally the atonement is
defective.

vented in previous meetings
