Sermon Preached ut summit Grove
Sunday by Or. Murray.
The Rev. W. l.. S. Murray, D. D.,
preached at Summit Grove campmeet-
ing, near Baltimore, Sunday morning.
His subject was Our Religion" lie
said in part:
"The greatest asscmbiagc of living
representatives Of the religions Of the
world was held last year in Chicago in
connection with the Worll's Fair. This
great gathering opened its services
under the cross of Christ, all joining in
the Lords Prayer. When the services
had made progress and all began to see
that the ends of the earth had come
together to worship the God of common
humanity, Brahmin came to the front
of The platform, and said with profound
emphasis that shovel a profound con-
yiction: The time is fast approaching
when the best religion must come to the
'front.'
"We claim that the religion of Christ
is the best religion and, thereto g, it
will in the near future not only come ia
the front, but be the religion of the
whole world.
But this is an age demanding
reasons. We must assign the reasons
"rhe religion of Christ is the best
because it accepts all that is good
beautiful and true in all other religions
and claims that these are the gifts Of
God.
"Our religion will come to the from
because we have the best book. There
arc bookiess religions, as seen among
the Africans and heather who caEno
read They are born to worship If no
to read and write. A book, a good book
is power. The best boob. is the great
est power to lift men up and to hole
them together. Our Bible surpasses il
every point of view the sacred books o
the nations of the East.
"rhe religion Of Christ is the hes
because it has the hest and only atoninI
sacrifice, Joseph Cook says it is tn
only religion that can wash Lady Mac
beth's red right nand.
"Our religion makes the best expert
euce possible by the importation of
new life. One dro2 Of life is worth NOR
than an ocean Of knowledge.
christianity Is the only religion tia
has a perfect example. The Zeus .
Homer was n very different Xcus fror
the one Of Socrates, but Christ is til
same yesterday and forever"

The only means OF regular transit in
the city was bus line from North

minutes, from u. IN. to 10 p. M. fare,
10 cents. When you compare this with
the rapid transit there to-day one can
at once see the great advance in such
| conYeuiences.
| THE THEATRES.
The theatres and amusements in
general were good, prices were very
remuneWtive, and the best actors of the
world were drawn there. Maguire's

Washington and Montgomery streets
and the American Theatre were tho
chief; whilst there were scores oi
melodious music halls and dance halls
scattered over the town. Sunday wa.
the great day for amasemcnts, and ii
police parlance, on that day everything
went. The markets were good, the iisl
were grand high in price except the
salmon, which was SO plenty as to pu
it in reach OF the poorest. There wcrt
no oysters, except the small natiy
coppcry ones, which devoted Calitor
mans, like devoted Englishmen, in thei
enthusiasm, claimed TO be of lusciou
flavor To visit the game market was
revelation, and PROBABLY nowhere i
the world could such variety be foun
to-day.

Brandywine SUBMITS popularity this
year is much greater than it has been
for a long time. Already about rs fami-

and next week there probably will be
200 there. Some families have been
there for two months. There are 100
tents and all are rented except two. The
latter are in an undesirable location ana
for that reason they are not in demand.
l.. Il. Grub, the camp superintendent,
is erecting tent and expects to erect
more.
In accordance with its annual custom
Elam Church will hold quarterly meet

The Rev. Mr.. Hamilton, the pastor of
