Brandywine Summit, Pa. Aug. 12. -
The ninth day of the campmeeting
season was excessively hot and couse-
quently there were few visitors here
yesterday. During the evening how
ever the atmosphere cooled and when
bedtime came blankets were utilized.
The campers zealously participated in
the days routine and worship con-
tinued until near midnight. The SER
vices were pervaded by deep revival
spirit The spiritual results we're six
conversions. The most notable CONVEX
sion was that of young man who
says he was converted in stable while
the tbroDg at the tabernacle was sing
ing.
The morning sermon was preached
by the Rev. II. Q. MacSorley. His
text was: "His name shall be called
wonderful ," After abiding to the
Significance of names he took up the
extremesiof Christ and spoke OF His
humility and glory. His poverty and
riches and His weakness and power.
The music at this service included a
duet by Misses May Taylor and Nettie
Lewis
The afternoon sermon was preached
by the Rev. William W. Sharp, His
remarks were suggested by the follow
ing scripture ''Tber shall he Kill the
goat OF the Sin offering, that is for the
people, and bring bis blood within tho
vail, and do with that blood as he did
with the blood OF the bullock, and
sprinkle it upon the mercy seat and
before the mercy seat. and Aaron
shall lay both his hands upon the head
of the live goat, and confess over him
all the iniquities OF the children of
Israel, and all their transgressions in
all their Sins, putting them upon the
head OF the goat, and shall send him
away by the band OF fit man into
the wilderness. And the goat shall
bear upon him all their iniquities unto
a land not inhabited, and he shall let
go the goat in The wilderness. :" One
day in the history Of Israel, he said,
was above any other day. 1t was the
most solemn and the most sacred. The
services peculiar to it referred to the
past and typified the future. All thu
services of the year eliminated in the
services of that ono day--the day of
atonement. The high priest performed
all the services on this day. He washed
himself, pressed himself 10 the linen
suit 1.-THE emblem of purity and then
offered sin offering for himself and
his household, which consisted of a
bullock, provided at his own expense.
The Offering for himself indicated the
imperfections OF the Levitical priest
hood The Offering for the sins OF the
people was two goats without blemisb.
At the door of the tabernacle lots were
cast on the two goats. one for Jehovah
and the other for Azazel. Jehovai's
goat was sacrificed and Azazel's sent
away. These two goats were symbols
of the atonement in Christ. Atone
ment consists OF two parts-su bstitu-
tion and removal. The dead goat ex-
pressed Christ's life. Christ is our
ain offering or substitute. Man ia
guilty, under sentence and needs par
don. God is glad to forgive just as
5000 as the moral government is up
held. The substitute honors the law
and vindicates justice. No other plan
meets the case. We may not compre-
bend all the mysteries OF the atonement,
but the fact is for US to appropriate.
God receives, without reference to tho
order of their coming, those who come.
The living goat represented the removal
OF sin. We must confess our sins. At
this service several persons requested
prayer and two professed conversion.
The exercises at the young peoples
meeting. the Rev. Asbury Burke leader,
were chiefly choral. The selections in
Guided the anthem "Wake the Song of
Jubilee Members OF the Chester
Heights choir participated in the SER
vice. The Rev. Frank Fletcher offered
the prayer and Miss Taggart made an
address. Scriptural promises were re-
cited by the songsters Several per-
SONS requested prayer.
The evening sermon was preached
by the Rev. L. W. Layfield. His text
was: Where. Lord? And He said
unto them 'wheIesoever the body is
thither will the eagles be gathered to-
gether. " This statement, he said, il
proverbial M primary reference to the
destruction OF Jerusalem, but it also
refers to a secood coming. The text
reveals the character OF Gods govern
nleDt, not only in its relation to the
jews bot also in it's relation to all men.
1t illustrates the peculiar punishment
which has always followed the Jewish
nation as people, also the retributive
character OF the operations OF the lndi-
eidual conscience. So we can say the
punishment of sin is not local but
wherever the sinner is, or whenever the
sin Is committed Immediately punish
ment follows, thus illustrating the text
'wheresoever the body ia thlther
will the eagles be gathered together. T"
Ii also illustrates the character of
Christ's second coming in that it is
not local, not here nor there, neither
in Jerusalem, but wherever the body
is there will thrones be SGT and judg-
mont begin, meaning that every eye
shall see Him, and, of as the lightning
shiDeth out of the East even to the
West, presents the thought thai instead
OF the sinner being brought to the
Judgment seat the judgment seat will
bs brought to him. which only illus
trates the text" wheresoeyer the body
is thither will the eagles be gathered
together. During the after meeting
i've penitents bowed at the altar, three
OF whom professed conversion.
