TUESDAYS DoINos.
There was a fair attendance at the
camp on Tuesday, and the morning
| services were conducted with u good
deal Of enthusiasm.
At 1880 q. M, Rev. ]. g. FosnocLt
OF Camden, preached forciDle sci IN or
from the text, Christ died for the un
godly." He said in part: THE relig
| Ion OF Christ is built upon authentic
| intelliRible, significant and infinitely
important facts. The Gospel is not /
theory, not mere speculation, but i
consolidation OF the sublimest fact
| known to history. This Is the powei
and glory of the Christian religion. j
IL upon this foundation OF fact th,
glorious Gospel temple rests.
He argued that every prophecy haC
been fulfilled, and we must look Il
Jesus for salvation. When Christ was
born the world was ready to receive
Him. All were looking for n Deliv'
erer. The conditions were favorable.
The country was nearly all under the
Roman Government. and as the Greek
language was generally spoken the
people were able to understand Him.

great results. The world has been
rendered wiser ard better. The gospel
has not lost it's power, as was shown
by three conversions last night and
the awakening of many others to q
sense OF their condition.
He spoke of the dead weights in the
church. those who should he a help
are hindrance, and admonished all To
come to God, as Christ died for the
ungodly." Paul said i can DO all
things through Christ, who strength
lave In Him. Rev. Mr.. White supple
mented the sermon by referring to the
disposition of the uncouverted to
magnify their own strength. To see
themselves in the proper light they
should compare their lives with that
of Christ. The Jhurisees observed
the commandments, gave tithes to
the church, prayed in public. yet
Christ compared them to whited
sepulchres.
When he closed stirring hymn was
sung. after which DIR. Hubbard made

The day was set apart for scriptural

FOLKS quoted various passages which
they had learned. DIR. Hubbard made
a shoIt address. and in answer to his
question OF how many OF you have
been converted, 12 small girls and
boys held up their hands. He urged
all of them to be faithful and endeavor
to live a consistent Christian life.
After the meeting they gave their
names to Prof. Short, who made
q record of them, in order that they
may he visited and looked after. DR.
His wife Joined the church when she
was nine years old, and now she is 40
and has never backslldden. His little
daughter Joined the church when nine,

He also referred to little girl who

God would save her boy. She wanted
to come to carp meeting next year
and report that her prayers had been
answered. DIR. Hubbard said this
woman is member OF my church, her
youngest son has been afflicted with
the rum curse, and as poor as he was
he would be willing to give 900 to
save this young man.
DR.. Murray asked the prayers OF all
Christians, that he may be annoint
ed for personal work, as 1t was easier
for him to address a thousand people
from the platform than 1t is to ap-
proach men of standing In the COM
munity. at their residence or place of
business, and ask them to give their
souls to God. There is a great deal of
this kind of work TO do In Dover. and
