BRANDYwINE SUMMIT CAMP, \
August bth, 1873
Last evening passed without shower,
and many of the young ladies and gen
tlemen took promenade out along the
road before preaching.
The attendance, last night, was the
largest we have had, but to-day Thurs
day, larger attendance is expected.
Private teams were quite numerous last
night, they being principally from the
country.
A photograph gallery was opened to-
day, on the outskirts of the camp
ground.
A little disturbance was made last
night, between two green "country
dupes," who do not know that this world
IS full of disappointment. 1t appears
that one of them brought young lady
to camp, and while he happened to be
away another one walks off with her !;
that made No. fellow mad, and he was
going to fight but No. was not around
SO 1t all ended in talk. He left the
ground wiser young man. This fuss,
however, was Just on the edge of the
camp ground, SO it did not disturb any
one. - 10
A few more tramps made their appear
ance, last night, but they were promptly
ordered from the ground, and everything
passed Off serenely, excepting an acct
dent, which occurred about ten o'clock.
As gentleman was leaving the ground
in carriage belonging to Or. G. Calver,
of Booths Corner, Pa, together with his
(Dr. Calver's) neice, the horse started Off
On run, and to save themselves and a
smash-up, he ran the carriage into q tree,
broke the shaft-bar, and threw the young
lady out, but beyond bad scare, there
was no one hurt. fit had not been tnat
the gentleman had enough presence of
mind to run the carriage into tree, 1t
might have proved serious, if not fatal
accident. He borrowed a carriage from
L. Z. Woodrow, who who keeps the oaU
stand, and proceeded on his way home,
where we hope he arrived all safe and
sound
Mr.. Mann spoke, after preaching was
over, last evening, about the frivoltty of
the people who will persist in promenad-
ing around the circle during service, and
he said it must be broken up, or he, for
one, would leave the ground tits really
a sin and shame how rude some people
are, but probably thsy do it without
thinking, but as they have been fore
warned, let them desist from sach prac-
tice, and if they must promenade let
them go out side of the ground. Also
loud talking around the circle during
preaching will not be permitted.
At Z O'clock, this morning, carriages
began to arrive, and they came in con-
tinuously all through the day, until the
woods were filed with vehicles of all de-
on, frhiu 10 hot TO cd
Thursday" and hence the large attend-
ance.

CAMP, August s.
+. Sheppard. Text, 35th psalm, Sd verse,
"Unto my soul am thy salvation"
He commenced by referring to David
with all his riches and position in society,
and he was King of Israel; but his cry
was at this time, "say unto my soul am
thy salvation" In what respect is God
the salvation OF sinners? for we can
be seaved only through Him. No one
can say he has not sinned, for all have
sinned and come short. But God, through
Christ, can take away all our sins and
clea use us from all unrighteousness. Here
the speaker dwelt upon sanctfication and
living holy lives. He spoke OF the old
prophet Zacharias and Elizabeth, his
wife, who were righteous before God.
He spoke of himself he wanted to hive
in that way, SO he could set forth holy
He urged the people that this
must be done in this life if ever to be
done. He quoted the prophet Isaiah, !
''though Thou vast angry with me. but |
Thine anger was turned away NC. The !
speaker dwelt some time on knowing !
that our sins are forgiven. He quoted
Paul when he was ready to be offered
up, and one of his own members when
he was told she must die, she answered, |
'all is we'll" The witness was there that
God saves US. And then we can say un-
10 our soul, thou art my salvation. These
blessed facts, to know that our sins are
forgiven. Job knew his redeemer lived;
It " as the doctrine of the bible. To prove
his he asked few questions. "Dii'nt
the lepsr know when he was cleansed
Dr. the widows son when he was brought
TO lite again? And the plind man wnat |
was his answer to the Jews? "One thing
kRoD, wherein l was blind, now l see /
)nce more" Lazarus, when Christ call
Ell him forth, knew he was alive" He
referred to those who were seeking the
forgiveness of their sins; that they must
orQive also, and the dearest idol must
% given up If you want TO be saved. He
,losed with an epitome Of the gospel,
for God so loved the world that He

,ver believeth in Him should net perish,

The SIX o'clock prayer meeting at ST.

he usual opening services he announced
lis text, What shall man give in ex-
hange for his soul?" Before reading
lis text he referred TO the morning and ,
Ifternoon discourses in a few eXplana- q
ory remarks. He then commenced by
aging that man was compound, body q
