peal-Dr. Hill Made one ofhis Usual
Good Addressed big Crowd n
tho Camp Grounds Expected To-
ENTHUSIASTICALLY Proceedings.
The weather at the MoundsviIle
camp meeting yesterday was all that
could be desired. and the early morning
service was well attended. The $3.50
service was conducted by DR.. Yocum.
The service closed with testimony Civ
ing. and many responded. telling Of
the wonderful love and peace that
comes from believing and receiving.
The 1880 service was opened by sing
ing Whittier Than Snow" DR.. ]. w.
Inn preached from the words: '1f any
man do my viii he shall know the doc
trine, whether 1t be of God or whether
speak OF myself" The preacher said
in part: I'VE have ben trying to tell
the people how they may know-how to
get the blessing, but this morning pro-
pose to show how to get 1t without
knowledge. We are all In the habit of
saying we would do SO and SO II we
knew how. We wish to be shown the
way, and thep we viii do the duty. The
kingdom Of God does not come by OBJ
seryation. We cannot stand out and
look in. The thing God wishes you to
do. while you are waiting for more
light, is for you to live up to the light
you have. There is not sinner in
this country but has more light than
he lives up to.
1.-THE most hardened sinner In New
York has more light than any of the
heather philosophers ever had. God
will not give you more light until you
use that which you have. We can
take step by step, using the light al
ready given, and light will be given for
further steps In the Christian life. The
will Of God is the law of the universe.
and we must begin to do 1t and that at
once. No man. by seeking headhrst
can ever find out God. There are
great many people who will never know
God until they are decapitated. The.
naughty head must be brought low.
The trouble with many people Is that
they know too much. II any man
thinks himself wise let him become
fool. Let him empty himself Of all
seIashness; become empty, that he may
be filled. There is only one door
through which to enter. All must
come down to 1T.
1--WE must go in heart foremost, and
then the head vii be all right The
matter Of salvation is matter Of ex-
perience. No one can know without
the experience. and we can't get the
experience until we submit to God.
II we walt until we understand the
way we will never get there. Better
do just as God tells US, and He will do
the rest. If we put ourselves under
the lead OF the Holy Ghost we can never
be Unitarians. We can never go
wrong, but will be led in the way Of all
Righteousness"
At the close Of the sermon Rev. J.
Wesley Hill gave an earnest exhorta-
ton, in which he said many good things
In a way to move the multitude, and 1t
did move them, for nearly every one
stood up on his Invitation, when asked
to show that they wished deeper work
OF grace In their hearts.
The children's service at $3.50 o'clock
was preceded by a beautiful song SER
vice. Rev. E. D. Hanna led the meet
ing, and the children responded with
SCRIPTURE texts. Rev. C. H. Baker gave
a abort talk, explaining what 1t is to
love God. The service closed with an
experience meeting, led by Mrs. Hin.
A song service was neId before the
sermon in the evening. At 1880 Dr. Eo-
cum before he commenced his dis
coprse said as this was the last time
tbnt he would preach to the people at
,tbIs camp meeting he took the privilege
~ stating how well he had enjoyed the
.conaIntances formed while at the
csnp grounds, both with the ministers
and the laity. He preached from the
words: "Behold, stand at the door
,nd knock: IL any hear my voice and
onen the door will come in and sup
Y,,,h him. and he with me-" In part
the preacher said: mo one Of US can

The Great Intercessor. though sitting
at the right hand of the Father. is at
the door Of every human heart. How
long ago has he been there? Ever
since we passed the line of accountable
ity. Ever since we were conscious
sinners. He has stood there ever since,
and is always ready to come in. But
the sinnr has resisted from that time
until now, though the Saviour has
stood there whiting and knocking. pa
