vile Camp Meeting, ia about to close,
and, as Brother Dolliver expresses II,
"Whsts the reeord?" We confess that
the immdiate results do not seem TO
comsNpp to what many sapsuine ones
hoped and prayed for.-Seyeral have
professed conversion and some the bless

small. Much good mayahaye;been done
that the futuree may reveal, for bread

not addressed to Peter alone, Is It not
clear that the discourse was delivered TO

N the dialogue question isi proposed.
Christ is the rock. II this be not the

by familiar illustrations, Man has no
power to save himself. What was sin
six thousand years ago is sin to-day. He
has given US His work TO do. No other
one can do our part OF it. The militant
and triumphant constitute the two diyi.

The 3o'clock sermon vas,preachedlb BY
Rev. Gledhill, eof Ohio. 1t was one! oi
the best II not the best sermon OF the
