SERMON MR.. MAC soRLEY.
The Rev. F. @. Mac Sorley preached
an excellent sermon at 7; AS p. m. His
text was Acts 3, s.: "There was great
joy in that city"
The city mentioned in the text, he
said, was Samaria. As to moral char
actor it was an average city for those
times, or indeed for all times. En-
tering its homes and places of business
and pleasure we would find the same
SORROWS and sins as In other cities

fathers and brothers going after her

Brandywine Summit. Pa, Aug. II.
The second week of the campmeeting
season began yesterday with unfavor-
able weather condItlons-still prevail
ing. The heat, however, was tritle
less intense than heretofore, and was
borne with better grace. There were
no visitors in camp and consequently
the day was comparatively quiet. The
services were deeply interesting and
all were we'll attended.
The morning sermon was eloguently
preached by the Rev. j. E. McVeigh
Of Elan. His text was Matthew %,
AZ: "What think ye of ChristP" Jesus,
he said, combines tho grandest attri-
butes Of the human and the divine.
He is a vast mountain peak. He tow
ers above the miats and the clouds and
is lost in eternal sunshine. We live
more by faith than by sight Christ
meets the conditions of our moral ma
ture. No other character can do this.
Socrates was grand, but he could moi
meet the demands of our moral nature.
Christ suits the demands of every
nature. During the after meeting
J there were six penilents at the altar,
! ono of whom professed conversion.
The evening sermon, a splendid dis
course, was preached by the Rev. Il.
l.. Hubbard of Baltimore. His tex
was Colossaips l, 81 :"Christ in you. q
If man wants to be true to any mar
: or thing, he said, ha has to bo true to
that man or thing. The foreigner

So Christian has Christ in him and
therefore, is Christian. He can't b,
