Tht first miracle Christ performed was
al a marriage feast. He was there NOT

entered into IT with the same spirit that
he others did. Christ did not exclude
Himself from invitations out to dine

preacher is not going so lar

dine with the people. He did go into the
social life. Christ would be an incomplete

IN CHICKAMAUGA CAMP
The. e.hvo!unteers Arc All Hoping to Go
With General Brooke to
Porto Rico.

Chickanauga Park, July 20-Thcre Is
no longer any doubt that Camp Thomas
is going to furnish large force Of
troops for the Porto Rico expedition
The details cannot be had this morn
Ing, but 1t safe to assert that two di-
visions and probably more of the First
corps will be ordered out, and the
movement is expected to begin to-
day or tomorrow.
The following organizations were
placed under orders to go to Newport
News, from which point they will en-
bark for Porto Rico: Fourth Pennsyl~
vania, Fourth Ohio and Third Illinois,
Light Battery b, of Pennsylvania; A.
of Missouri; A, Of Illinois, and the
TWenty-seventh Indiana battery, the
Signal corps, the reserve hospital corps
and the reserve ambulance company.
That these will all 80 tomorrow there
appears to be no doubt, and it is more
than likely that larger force than
this will be started bJ that time.
There is now, perhaps, not Il regiment
in the corps that does not feel that it
will be among those picked out TO so
with General Brooke. and when the
regiments to go are designated there
will, therefore. be some sadly disap-
pointed volunteers.
Colonel Lee was in consultation with
the railroad men yesterday afternoon
regarding the necessary transportation
for the forthcoming expedition. He will
have every arrangement made to move
the entire force within four or five days.
