BRANDYwINE SUMMIT, Aug 70 Big
Sunday WAS a notable day Of 1895 at
Brandywine Summit, because. in spite Of
intense heat, 8 900 human beings, mostly
country people, swarmed on the grounds
and kept up marvellous enthusiasm for
such torrld weather. About 600 teams
were on or near the grounds and many
came from Wilmington by special train
to GrRnogue.
To the tropic weather was added the
g IA ction Of dust, and altogether the day
was as unpleasant as could well be
imsgined People kept as quiet IS pos
sible, and many were even too much
oppressed by the sultriness to attend the
services The regular program was
carried through, beginning with love
feast at 81 o'clock.
A Fine Morning Sermon.
When Dr. Hulburd began preaching
the morning sermon fully 600 people
were listening to him but the congrega
tion swelled considerably during the
service. The Grace Oh uroh minists RS
discourse was an except nally fine one,
and was frequently interrupted by
shouts aud crys At It's close the eutire
congregation arose and sang Ny Jesus,

contradiction Of sinners against himself.

fulfilled through her, snd In the birth Of
Jesus Christ that was gloriously fulfilled

temptation hrst addressed to our Lord
Was that these stones be made bread
Just think what a temptation, ad

But that temptation was made TO our
Master because Il had been commanded
that by the sweat of mans bro v shall

that by short cut Of compromise with
