Camp was invaded again yesterday by
great many of the friends and relatives of
the miltiamen. and some came. too, who
didn't have any friends in the camp.
However more than so per cent of the
soldiers were out all day on pass, and
this naturally cut down the number of
visitors. Camp was open all day to visi-
tors. There was a base ball game be-
tween the machine gun company and
the sanitary troops, ending in tie. The
game was hotly contested from the begin

Preaching as defined by Phillips
Brooks. IS the presentation of truth
through personality" No human be-
ing would have selected the denier of
the Christ as the first defender of the
church. Peter, who in the courtyard of
the high priests palace while warming
himself around the campfire of the
Roman guards was so frightened by
the serving maid that he denied with
oaths that he ever knew the Lord. was
chosen by the Holy Spirit to defend the
disciples against the charge of drunk
enness and to present to the hostile and
fanatic crowd the fact thu the strange
things they were witnessing were due TO
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in &C
cordance with the prophecies of Joel
concerning the end of the old dispen-
satioif and the esta biishment OF the
new era and to press home. to them
the truth that Jesus, whom they had
crucified, was their Messiah and risen
Lord.
Peters sermon upon that occasion de-
serves a high place among the great
orations of the world. Luke gives US
probab bly, only an outline of this mas
terpiece of hoIniletic literature, that he
may have taken from the transcription
OF the shorthand records, that might
have been made at the time of its de-
livery 1t has not been surpassed in
effectiveness by any other sermon.
Sitter has pointed out that in its
adroitness, in the arrangement of the
arguments in its analysis, in its steer
ing clear of Jewish prejudices. in its
appeal and effect, it is without peer
among the products of uninspired men.
As an example of persuasive argument
ii has no rival" With all Of its liter
airy elements of greatness the powerful
influence exerted by this first Christian
sermon was due to the changed man.
for the Peter, who preached with cour-
age and convincing power, had been
transformed by the power from above
into the bold and brilliant champion of
the Lord Jesus and defender of the
church. He was a new Peter as re-
suit of the presence of the Holy Spirit
with the church when he commenced
his message by refuting the slanderous
charges of intoxication due to drink
ing wine that was fermenting.

Refutation Of SANDER.

The slanderous suggestion that the
marvellous messages that the men from
every nation had heard in his own
tongue was due to drink Peter met
with a denial and explanation. Talka-
tiveness, excitement and abandon were
evidences of intoxication. but they
were not intoxicated, as their actions
had caused some superficial observers
10 think. They were due TO the fact
that God had fulfilled the prophecy of
Joel by the outpouring OF the Holy
Spirit The appeal TO the Scriptures
and Peters reference TO the hour was
sufficient to convince the devout Jews
assembled in the congregation. because
they revered Gods word, and knew
that no pious Jew. especially on PEN
tecost. holy feast day, would brea k
his fast to est or drink before o'clock
which. according to their reckoning,
was the third hour.
Peters citation from Joel. one of the
early Judeap prophets. was evidently
taken from the Septuagint. which has
been used As an argument that his
sermon was delivered in Bellenistic
Greek. The I'VE verses that the apos-
tie quoted from memory clea rly
predicted the outpouring of the Holy
SPIRIT. but his Interpretation of the
prophecy was given in the light of his
recent religious experience and not in
accordance with the rabbinicai rules
OF Interpretation. In making his quo
tation he used the more definite pro-
phctiC phrase, in the last days. in
place OF the word afterward. In the
verses quoted by Peter events from
the commencement to the conclusion
OF the Christian era are brought into
one line Of vision so as to appear to-
gether.
The ouJpouring of the Spirit marked
the end of the old and the commence
uent of the new era, that will bt
