Brandywine Summit, Pa. Aug. l3. -
Owing to the excessive heat few pisi-
tors came to campmeeting yesterday.
The atmosphere was tempered by
light breeze last evening and for few
hours the weather was more inyigorat-
ing. All of yessterday's services were
interesting and we'll attended. The
camp populace retired carly, desiring
to obtain full nights rest before
entering upon the routine of to-day,
the last day of the campmeetiug season.
The morning sermon was preached by
the Rev. George w. Burke. His text
was Exodus 16, and 10. and his theme
1.-THE Desert Mamma" He divided
the discourse as follows: First, the
mirae1lous character of the provision;
second, the desert mama just what was
needed; third, proportional to their
needs; fourth, pleasant to the taste.
The mama, be said, was wholesome
food. 1t was abundant and free. Each
person had To gather his part. The
Hebrews gathered diligently. They
where it was to be found. The sup
plies were daily. Lit was gathered in
perfect faith; it was always there.
The provision ceased as soon as the
Hebrews passed over the river. Those
who ate the desert mama shared the
provision on the other side. The
music at this service included solos by
the Rev. Mr.. Taylor of the Philadel-
phia Methodist Episcopal Conference
and tho selection "The Beautiful
Golden Gate.,'' sung by quartet Gem
posed of Misses Taylor and Lewis and
Messrs. Burke and Achenbach. .'...
Miss Boyd preached the afternoon
sermon. Her text was: "The Door
vas shut" The music at this service
included solos by Mr.. Taylor of the
Philadelphia Conference.
The evening sermon was preached
by the Rev. Wilmer Jaggard. His text
was Revelations 20, ID. In his intro,
ductory he spoke of johns isolation on
Patmos and the important place the
Revelations fill in divine scripture. In
the revelation to John, he said, was
the elimination of all the events mani
tested to him in the final judgment
therein mentioned. Judgment implies
law. Without law judgment Is fal-
lacy. Law is either specified or APP
parent. The law we shall he judged
by is the law of righteousness. The
Antinomians wished to believe the law
from Sinai has been abrogated, but
Christ said 81 come not to destroy the
law and prophets but to fulfill them.
Judgment implies judge. Christ will
be that judge. The text implicitly
states there will be an individual
judge and .every man.. We shall be
judged for works, every man accord
ing to his works. - The sermon was
followed by an exhortation given by Mr..
Cahoon. During the after meeting
one person protested conversion.
