FIFTH EDITION.


1t was hard to estimate the number
OF people who attended the free con-
cert In Eighth and FRANKLIN Street Park
yesterday Afternoon. The people kept
going and coming all the timo aud yet
the park seemed 10 be crowded. There
were certainly not less than 5000 per-
sons present at one time listening to
Hyatt's Military Band music, and from
the commencement to the end 10000
people must have visited the park.
The band consisted of 90 pieces, ard
was led by A. l. Boulay. A striking
feature OF the concert was the singing
of the well known hymn, Nearer my
God to Thee, "by aquartette composed
of Joseph Featherstone, Edward Cur
ran, Horny We'll and Fred Well, Jr.,
with band accompaniment.
The audience was requested TO join
in the chorus, but failed to do SO when
the time came. The next free Sunday
concert will be given next Sunday
evening by the First Regiment Band.
The good order at the park was re-
marked by all, and glance showed
that the most respe ctable people in
Wilmington attend the concerts. Much
credit Is due to W. +. Kurtz, editor of
the Graphic, for what he Is doing to
up keep these concerts Subscriptions
sent to him for this purpose will be
thankfully received. We would sug-
gest to Mr.. Rurtz that II he would
have hats handed around in the crowd
he might get enough to keep up free
concerts indefinitely.
The next great event in the musical
line will be the two open air concerts
to.be given by the First Regiment;and
Hyatt's Military bands on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings Of this week,
| in conneption with the August feStl-
val OF the Harrison NJ. L. church at
Seventh and Harrison streets. The
bands will play each evening from to
Ii o'clock, and one of the attractive
features will be the delicious refresh.
ments which the ladies of tho churcI
will have for sale in the chapel hard by

manner.

FOURTH edition


Sermon Mt Union Church.
Rev. Z. L. Hubbard preached an In
tereBting sermon In Union III. Il.
Church on Sunday morning, from the
18th verse OF the 10th chapter OF Paufs
LIST Epistle to the Corinthians. In his
predatory remarks he alluded to the
complaint of certain persons that II
they were not allowad to use corn to
make whiskey it would not be worth
anything and would go to waste. One
woman In reply said that they would
first take the starch out OF the corn
and use 1t to stiffen the back bones OF
the men so that they may do their du-
ties ns christians. When he was boy
he was punished for his various FRANKS
and his lot seemed hard one. This
was the way with every one.
His wife complained this morning
that her trials and crosses were too
great to be borne, and she could not
come to church. He said many other
women thought that they were the
greatest sufferers in the world, and
and every one seemed to think that
his or her trials were the greatest. He
had his troubles, and yet some persons
supposed that the preacher should al
ways be happy. II they only knew the
complaints that came to his ears they
would change their opinion. The wa.
some persons, who ought to know
better, jumped on him was really
cruel, while Others poured salt in the
wounds.
By resistance OF evil, and through
prayer strength was gained. Christ
was tried and yet he came of conquer
or. All should emulate his example
and stand firmly by their principles as
thus they will be fitted to inherit a
crown OF glory.
In order to encourage all to res list
temptation lie referred to the first visit of
the late Vice President Wilson to
Washington, when young man. and
ON sitting down to the table with John
Quincy Adams and other distinguish
ed men, he was offered wine. but he
declined to drink, saying his father
was u drunkard, and he had signed the
temperance pledge. This incident
was noted in the papers, and as 1t In
dlcated an adherence TO principle 1t
contributed afterwards TO his pOpu-
larity and elevation to Office.
He reminded his hearers that all We're
tempted alike, but Christ could sus.
tain under all circumstances all who
put their trust iii him, lie showed
that there is a Divine power that sus
tnins the young man, the young wo
man, aud also the aged, in the hour OF
need, 50 that all who do their duty
will DO saved from the wlles of the
tempter and in the end inherit eternal
life. His illustrations in reference TO
the tree gaining strength OF root by
exposure to the wind aud storm, and
the anchor holding tho ship fast by
catching in another anchor embedded
in the earth at the bottom of the river,
were Apostle and gave force to tho
positions he assumed, making an I'M
preston on the minds of his hearers
that will not lie readily elfaced.

Bishop Coleman OBLIGATED in Clay
mont,
Religious worship was generally

Rev. Isaac Jewell delivered an In
teresting historic discourse on
Sunday night In Epworth NJ. Il.
Church. He said they were instituted
in Kentucky In 1909. He described the
camps of those days and compared
them with the camps now held. Then
the folks went to meeting In their old
farm wagons, the seats were rough
and the protection from rain poor.
Spiritually the results were most sat
isfactory, At the first camp 200 sou Is
were saved.
At the second camp crowd of
twenty-five or thirty organized to
break 1t up. Just before the time set
for attack they weakened, and before
the service was ever all of them were
on their knees at the altar.
In tho modern camp meeting we
have nearly everything. Instead OF
leaves on our tent floor we have Brus-
sles carpet. Everything is polished and
elegant and fashionable, and shall /
add-spiritual. 1t is in, that line. When
Peter Cartwright, of Kentucky, held
the first camp meeting 1t is said that
he had saventy-tiYe persons speeches.,
so full were they of the Holy Spirit.
Cartwright enforced his opinion with
his lists when need was. He had said
llc WOuiu KILL IL lllb NlCllln ulu NOT VI y
for mercy. he cried for mercy and
was saved.
In the camp meetings of to-day We
have magnificent singing and all Other
aids to the service, but never see any
one spePchless with the power of the
spirit. One eloquent preacher attrib
utes this TO the change in the times
Methodlsm needs camp meetings FOL
concentration, prayer, intellectual In
tercourse and the opportunity to com
i munleate with each other. .5.
