At RED ROCN CAMP.
En Spite of Heat and Rain a Lars
Crowd There.


| Crowd There.
| The rain OF last night aud early morning
kept large number of people from the Red
Rock comp meeting grounds yesterday, yet
| there was decided increase over the at
| tendance at any meeting since Sam Jones
! left. The stand in the pavilion was beau
| tifully decorated with flags, wild flowers
and evergreens, the flags being about the
| only indication that this was the nations
birthday.
Rev. DR.. Leonard preached the morning
! sermon, his theme being 1.-The supremacy
of the name of Jesus"
Outside of sacred history the most promi-
nent name in the history of the past eighteen
centuries is the name of Christ, and this in
spite OF the efforts of infidels
and atheists to put Him out of history. Men
| are great as they are compared with other
men, but all are small when compared with
| Jesus Christ. We must study the life and
times of Christ TO discover how He obtained
| such supremacy. His supremacy is not based
| upon birth. wealth, scholarship, skill as a
warrior, nor as statesman, nor yet because
he was temporal ruler. The teachings of all
| the philosophers must be revised. There is
much in them that is perniciouS. But the
most daring infidel never yet said of single
sentence of Christ's that it should be revised.
f1G Is tut Ollc llIdIllUlS Oh the HOflu.
So perfection attends the deeds of Christ.
His is the one sublime glorious character OF
all the ages The fact that the world makes
/ the birth of Christ the date from which to
reckon all limits is sufficient proof of His
| supremacy. Robert Ingersoll, if he should
| write a book must bow to Christ before any
! one could tell when his book was published,
| by affXiug the letters A. D. to the date. The
| destruction of the records of any great man
would destroy important chapters of his
country's history. But take Jesus out OF
history and you will destroy all history of the
past eighteen centuries. Take Christ out OF
! literature and you destroy the very best
| Ever the secular press with all its abomina
tionS cannot issue number without drawing
on the word of Goa. No atheist ever made 6
great discovery. The best type of archtec
! ture in the world is a Christian architecture.
To destroy the works of art that have beer
| inspired by Christianity would take away the
masterpieces of all the art galleries in the
world. The grandeSt music in the world
that which eadures, consists of the eratorios
which enthrone the Messiah. The name O.
Jesus heads all reforms. believe the traff,
in spirituous liquors will finally be destroyed
| because Jesus reigns.
THE AFTERNOON.
The singing of the Hamline university
students for half an hour before the opening
of the afternoon sermon drew large au-
dience early to the tabernacle. The sermon
of the afternoon was by Rev. Joshua Gil
of Barton, who selected for his text Act

MIR. Gill said his text was determined b!
the sermon OF the morning. This mornin:
we had Jesus. This afternoon we have thu
Holy Ghost. 1t takes the Holy Ghost to un
0erStand Jesus. The Baptism of the Hol,
Ghost burns out all natural depravity of thu
soul, and is necessary to complete the soul
salvation. Thank God, the worl
of salvation is complete in u.
soul. and am as ready t.

The possession of the Holy Ghost has q
wonderful influence upon the mental facul
