MORNING By REV. BORING.
aThs Spirit Of Christ Made the Subjss, Of Eos'
RE.c,ivs Diseourss-0;hsr kyens
Of III. Day.

A slight shower Sunday night laid
the dust and cooled the atmosphere a
little at the camp ground, and yester-
| day was a delightful day.
The class at $50 was more than
usually we'll attended, and was much
enjoyed by those present.
The Rev. John Boring preached a.
1890, and while the audience was not
large it enjoyed the sermon very much
and broke up the meeting with gen
eral hanishaking. His subject was
the spirit of Christ" and the text
Rom. viii, o: Now, II ahj man have
not the spirit OF Christ, he is none OF
his" Now, by way of introduction,
said the speaker, II will ask two ques.
tions which you can answer at your
leisure. II we have not the spirit OF
Christ, whose spirit have We? And
| II we do not belong TO Christ
/ TO whom do we belong? Nov
the purpose OF this sermon Is 10
show what the spirit OF Christ is and TO
use that spirit as straight edge 10 try
| our spirits by and the first Characters

spised OF earth. Again be had the spirit
of sympathy and0Stivity; he went
about doing good. There is no use for
us to sing Throw opt Ne Life Line If
we do not keep that Stimsnt into
practice In our daily lives.
His spirit was also the spirit OF
prayer. He prayed more than all the
rest OF his His disciples-prayed for
His disciples and for those who should
believe on that Word even down TO this
day and on 10 the end OF time. The
trouble is, Christians do not pray enough
for the preachers. II they prayed for
them more and criticized less. they
would be able TO do more effective
work.
"His spirit was one OF impartiaity-

OF modern society--is IL the spirit OF

degree of chastity from sons as from

ence in this matter.
| Why did not Jesus condemn the wo-
man taken In adultery? I'll tell you
why: there were two parties engaged,
and only one brought before Him FOR

was for guilty man TO become SELF

To DO it, and l think they were
the meanest men In earth or hell.
Again, his spirit was one Of sinless
purity-he mixed with sinners not 10
sin, bat to help them get away from
their sins. He had tho spirit OF for

| even TO the hour Of death on the
cross-not only the spirit OF forgive

plan the spirit of victory clings every.

manner OF spirit are ye Of? IL we
have not the spirit OF Christ we are
none OF His.
Rev. Sumner Stone will leave to-day
for Mountain Lake, en- route 10 New
York. He declares he has had de-

much benefited by his sojourn at the
camp grounds.
The children's meeting was another
decided success In the afternoon. They
turned out in good numbers and mani
fest an interest that might well be
emulated by many older ones.

and was grand success, some OF the
experiences were peculiar and thrilling
In the extreme.
Rev. William I. Helms, Of Cameron,

day morning on his way home from his
appointment down the river.
