Big Camp Meeting In Psegross.--
sunday Mornings services.

Special Correspondence OF the Examiner.
Perry, Tex, July PA big camp
meeting. has been in progress here since
Tuesday last, under tho auspices of
the Methodist church. The services
Sunday were of special interest. Rev.
+. Won Schleumbach, the German
evangelist, occupied the pulpit. His
morning subject was, Math. vii. II
%. lie opened by the recital of All in
cident from the life of the present
empress OF Germany, to Illustrate
how, even In the loftiest circles of
life, gospel truths we're recognized as
the highest authority that hui
man beings were possessed of
lie said; "Therefor these ter
rible words of the text come
hometo our hearts with pupgent
power. The Lord himself speaks
here to us his plan of action, when
his day of coronation once arrives,
and addresses himself here especially
to those who expect for various rea-
sons, to become not only participants
of the eternal realms of bliss, but ex-
poet to become prominent personages
in it.' The Reverend speaker then
illustrated the false position of the
Christian who claims that by reason
! of mental abilities or by power divine
over others, or by good deeds to his
fellow men, he eau have free and easy
access to heaven, while Gods plan of
salvation rests simply upon the fact
of grace, and free grace, at that. lie
showed the utter helplessness OF
those who made their pathway 10
heaven so very hard and rough by
remaining in self-delusion, and set
ting up human rules for salvation, in
. utter opposition TO the plain aud sim
Pile rule of God here brought forth
: by the Savior of the world himself,
via: "Doing the will of Cod lie
stated clearly that IL was not only
necessary for men to know God, or OF
God, but also TO be known and ac-
: cepted by God. This knowledge
!, could only be had by doing Gods
will, which is nothing else than believ-
ing that Jesus is the Christ aud medi-
!. ator between man aud God. In clos.
y ing. the preacher pointed out the
Lords Supper as the means of grace
: to show the world our faith in the
. saving power Of the blood of Jesus
. and 70 receive inwar,lly sure testi
D. mony of acceptance by the graciou
Savior for present and future SAWS

"a illustrated by many incidents from th
. vast experience Of the speaker. III,
o. audience was most attentive, and niue
n good is being done.

General Drum, who was sent
to Mt. McGregor with the
presidents message TO Mrs
Grant returned home to-day. In an
interview with Post reporter regard
ing the selection of Central Park, New
York, rs the burial place OF General
Grant. he said: Colonel Fred q rant
in conversation which had with
him when was at Mt. McGregor, ex-
planned to me the reasons for the
choice and ! am convinced they are
good and sufficient reasons just what
they are, am not at liberty TO state as
they were explained to me in conf
dcnce in private conversation.
But don't you think that national
funeral impliesa national choice OF
burying groundT'
mo, do not. IL is for the family
TO name the place where the remains
shall rest and then say whether or moi
there are to be military honors and
this is precisely what has been done,
The president has not proposed in the
selection of the site. He has merely
undertaken according to the wishes OF
the family to have the general buried
with national honors in the grave
which the family themselves have
chosen, and that, as | understand 1t, ID
all that is implied ina national fu.

GEORGE W. CHI us SHARP CRITICISM.
Philadelphia, July 2z-rho uprising
all over the country which has been
caused by the selection of Central
Park as the resting place of General

city, where resides the old hero's most
intimate friend, Mr.. George w. Childs,
who il constantly in receipt of letters
and kilograms from both public and
private citizens, who recognize the I'M
propriety of the course proposed, end
the fitness of some national plot as the
place of sepulchre. Although, for OBJ
vious reasons, no appeal can be made
TO the family, Mr.. Childs and other
friends of the ex-president in Phila.

nation and should repose in
one of the national burying
grounds, like Washington or
West Point. AS to Central Pari,
there is but one opinion, which is /:
that OF all places, ii is the most inap-
propriaie.
"knowing General Grants own
views on this subject" said Mr..
Childs, "for lie had talked with me
