INTERESTING SERMONS.
(From our special correspondent)
BRANDYwINE SUMMIT CAMP,
August 18th, 1873.
The weather to-day has been clear and
cool, but there has been a very slim at
tendance all day. News is scarce, there
being nothing worthy of note excepting
the religious Services, which are increas-
ing in interest and terminating in good
results. Last evening the watchers were
troubled with three tramps who were
chased off the ground once. but they
seemed bent on mischief, and returned
to the woods again, when they were dis
covered by the watchmen, who were not
"asleep." But the tramps were too far
away to be captured, but as soon as they
knew they were watched th4y fed and
did not again make their appearance.
We are glad to hear of the improve
ment of our lady friends who have been
sick. From present appearances they
viii soon be all right again. .....

The doctor commenced by saying that
there Is disposition on the part OF
certain class of religious persons not to
discuss the scriptural doctrines. This

damental doctrine Of the bible, in eight
terms: /, "Reconoiliation; 2, propitls-
ton; 3, expiation; 4, atOnement; 3, re-
denp'ion; 8, satisfaction; z, substitution ;
8, salvation"
Reconciliation-God and man were re-
conciled through Christ; the gospel is
called the reconciler. God is love, there
| fore he has brought about this reconcila-
tion, yet he would punish sin. The car
nal mind is at enmity with God; 1T is the
middle walk between Him and man, and
the justified have peace through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
Precipitation and expiatlon-The speak
er illustrated these two terms and spoke
of the peace of God which enters into
our hearts through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Atonement-Christ paid the penalty
ration for us and eternal satisfaction, 80
our sins were blotted out in the court of
heaven.
Redemption-Here the doctor pictur-
ed the death and suffering OF Chri, on
cross and showed how the dying thief OBJ
tanned pardon through Him. Satisfac
tion-Here the speaker went back to
where this plan was first made and spoke
of the Father, and how He proclaimed il
all its purity, declaring we are not re
deemed by money, but by the precious
blood of Christ. Substitution-He CAV,
, Himself for us as substitute and it wa
by this that eternal justice was satisfied.
Take away this great doctrine, and we
have nothing left. The speaker explain
ed to us in what sense Jesus died for us
and how we were saved by Him.
Salvation is of the Lord ,,he do MT save

doctrine. 1t was the foundation of tn

The great doctrine of Christianity, il
