whom are all things, in bringing many
sons unto glory, to make the captain Of
our salvation perfect through suffer
ings." He said it was in the great,
divine plan to save men, but all the
plans brought forward in olden times
were to a greater or lesser extent fail
ure. In Christ we have perfect
saviour and through Him perfect plan.
He was made perfect through suffering
in the experience of human being.
He never could have been perfect
saviour had He not wept at the grave
of Lazarus. He was made p.ffsct
through suffering in the relation of
friend and brother. He was made per-
feet through suffering in His sacrifi-
cial work. lie gave Himself and all
Ile possessed. He endured the cross
and hence was in every way prepared
to represent US before the Father. He
came to bring many sons into glory.
We are sons by adoption and regenera-
tion. All believers are children. Only
those are entitled to homo in heaven.
This great salvation has been pur
chased for everybody. The sermon con
uluded with an appeal to the unregen-
crate to get saved. A stirring exhorta-
tion, delivered by tho Rev. Ezra

At 3 d. m. there was an address by
Miss Boyd. During the after meeting
young woman professed conversion
| and several persons reconsecrated them
| selves
The evening sermon was preached by
| the Rev. M. l.. Hutton. His text was
John IA, 6: ~ am the way, the
truth and the life No man cometh to
| the Father but by Me-. He said
Bible truth is centred in Jesus Christ.
Ho is the way because He restored
man from his goddess wanderings.
Man is estranged from God by wicked
works and sinful life. Men will never
be lost because of Adams sin. They
have TO do with their own personal
sins. The great question is how we
may be delivered from sin. Mans
| plan of salvation has always been
works and mans own efforts have
broadened the chasm between God and
man. Gods plan is simple faith in
Jesus. Christ is the truth. Tie an
swers to our intellectual need. He is
divine truth. All we need know of
God is found 10 Christ. He is the life.
Not only does He restore man to divine
life, but to redeemed life. The mis-
sion of the Christian church is to help
God save the lost. The sermon was
followed by an exhortation, delivered
by Mr.. nayfield.

The attendance at Brandywine Sum
NIT Campmeeting yesterday did not
exceed 5000, which, for ''Big" Sun
day, was extremely small. The num-
ber of visitors was less than usual be-
cause of the intense heat. Very few
WilmIngtonians, except those who are
tenting here, were present Most OF
those who came to tho encampment live
in it's vicinity. The heavy rainfall
Saturday night laid tho dust within a
rudips of three miles of the camp
grounds and slightly cooled the atmos-
phere, but ny O'Clock yesterday
morning torrid weather again prevailed
There was no cessation until .. 30
o'clock at night, when wind swept over
the grove almost with the force of tor
nado. Despite the fact that 1T threat
ened to uproot trees and demolish tents
1t was welcomed as godsend. During
the half hour that it frolicked among
the treetops the suffering campers re-
vived wonderfully. Tho rain that fell

the hottest parts of the encampment,
J was like furnace and the tabernacle

y SERMON BY DIR. MURRAY.
At 10 a. m. the Rev. w. l.. S. Muir

o but one human pair and only one relig

q tribes and nations were organized relig
n ions also increased. In Pau's tim
Il there were many religions in India, il
il Egypt, in Persia and throughout tn
Orient. The Greeks worshipped god

i gods were supposed to toll, presidin

v All conquered nations were permitte

n a crime. When Paul believed on Chris
