WEDNESDAY.

One Of the very best sermons that
has yet been preached by Evangelist
BOles was preached last night. He
never fails to get some new ideas be-
fore the people. The prodigal son
has been a fruitful subject for Gods
ministers to talk upon for many ages
and it would seem that 1t had been
looked upon from all sides and dissect-
ed so closely that no new thoughts
could beextracted from it, but from
the beautiful thoughts unfolded last
night, the splendid lessons drawn
therefrom it is evident that the old

Camp r1eeting.
MONDAY.

The evangeliSts's subject last night
at camp meeting was what is
Faith?" The Old text Faith is the
evidence OF things not seen and the
substance of things hoped for" was
used and developed very elaborately.
There was an undercurrent in the
thoughts of men that Jesus Christ
was a myth, a mere allegOrical charac-
ter who never had a real existence
No Informed inadel ever took that
ground, but it found lOdgment in the
minds of busy, careless men who nev.
er made christianity a study. When
ever they learn TO study and inform
themselves they always admit that
Christ did have an existence, and that
he was practically the ideal character
which he is represented to be. Pro-
Zane history is as explicit on this
point as it isin regard to Alexander
the Great and other noted historical
characters. None of us know lonly
by faitEl that Alexander the Great
ever lived. The same may be said of
Napoleon BOnaparte, George Wash
lngtOn' VIM. L. Gladstone. There
was equal ground for disputing the
reality OF one as the other. And he
made the point that the same history
that perpetuates the names of these
famous characters, suggests to the
mind at once the characteristics that
made them famous. 1t was impossi.
BILE for the name and character to be
separated. The latter was photo
graphed indelibly on the mind
wherever the name found lodgment.
Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem.
a town now in existence, almost as
large as Wellington, nine miles south
east of Jerusalem. History gives him
a birthplace, country, and a charac-
ter that can no more be denied than
that of Alexander the Great or Napo-
leon BOnaparte.
Hence faith is the evidence of
things not SEEM" lie then developed
the latter clause, "the substance of
things hoped for" showing that NOR
tai man must have some ground work
for bettering his condition hereafter
before he will leave off the pleasures
Of this world. Hope, superinduced by
faith, is the incentive that leads men
to Christs service. He made a very
eloquent plea to sinners, using Mil
tons picture Of the saints glorious
flight to paradise on the wings of
faith and hope. At the close one
lady came forward and made the good
confession.

lie closed by emphasizing the ex.

not until he had been reduced to the

being sown, however, and it is hoped
that the ground work is being laid for
