Politics Invaded the Sacred Pre-

unsteady splutter as the probabilities wer

Montgomery and Frederick, and lot vlnson
Into the Judgeship;" "Montgomery, Washing.

On Monday the Rev. DR.. Boolo, celebrated rs
| q preacher, evangelist and temperance worker,
delivered an eloquent address. His text was
| taken from Romans, chapter ", verse IL

| ment" The audicnce-which filled the taber-
nacle, the outlying seats, and in fact, all avail
| able room in tho circle-was swayed by tho
| power OF the speaker to laughter and to tears
| We give herewith brief synopsis of the dis.
course: Tho term atonoment Is now almost
entirely confined to the sacrifice made by
| Christ. Its meaning Is we'll understood; II Is
| satisfaction given as an equivalent for an of.

into harmony. This definition applies only to

| ment made by Christ, nor can we hope for n
/
by any mortal mind. 1t is, however, allowed
us to search the inspired word and glean from
It's pages the revealed facts relating to this
transaction, and the elements OF tho scheme
| OF redemption and mans relation to It.
The Scriptures inform us that man was Gro
nted In the image OF God. BY one act he fell
| by "that bad miracle OF hell, SIM" from
highest TO lowest, not a germ OF good remain
Ing In him. The Scripture again says she Is
earthly, sensual, dovilish" No development
OF good can spring from so corrupt nature.
Christ came 10 redeem mankind, "to restore
all things" He will make men like unto his
own body, soul and spirit; redeem him from
Christ is Our Ransom.
ransom Is price paid for the liberation of
acaptiyc, and It's amount depends upon the
dignity Of tho person liberated. Christ gave
His blood and His death as n ransom for man.
Christ Is our Precipitation. I. O., He suffered In
our stead; was wounded for our transgres-
sions. The extent OF His suffering we do not
know, nor do we know at what point they
touched His divinity, how deeply driven was
tho shaft, how less than eternal death atoned
for crime. This whole transaction is mys-
terry of mysteries.
When clouds or fog prevent the mariner from
making an observation no must sail by dead
the fog Of this mystery we must shape our
course by the chart OF Gods word, tho COM
pass and log OF faith, and the Divine promises
With these we may surely reach the Heavenly
harbor. Christ is our substitutes He takes
our place, assumes all our responsibilities,
even unto death. We have no standing
In Inc Court OF Goa:
our pleas must DO in the name OF Christ
"Ask what ye Will in My name, Is our refuge
and our hope. But these elements alone are
not enough to perfect n scheme OF atonement
They cannot save, for the heart and soul OF
man remain yet sinful. The blood and spirit
OF Christ make an element In tho plan OF atone
ment. Man must be changed by these back
to his original status. Ho must DO again the
image OF God.
1t is Gods easiest work to save tho sinner
and next to keep tho Christian from backslid-
ing. There are no hard cases with Christi
| guilt and sin vanish at the word OF his power,
| and the touch OF his blood.
| Gods Salvation Battery,
with Christ at tho poles, sends eternal life
| through the sinner who touches, and thus
completes the circuit. Regeneration flows
through Christ Into the unredeemed.
The address concluded with a brief appeal
for all TO accept tho scheme OF redemption,
and thus secure eternal life and happiness.
Tho overflow meetings at various points on
proved to be tho means OF relieving the circle
from unpleasant pressure. The order during
the entire camp has been wonderfully good
| when the Heterogeneous mass OF mortality pres
ent is considered. Accidents were few and Of
minor nature. Some excitement was caused
at the depot tho ether day by the prostratior
OF lady by fainting-spell. Simple restora
tives were administered and recovery fol-
lowed.
