THE SOLEMN WARNING.W e had a terrible-experience o f the

D im e Ghiidance.

The Christian’s'life , when under di­vine guidance, becomes.a royal highway. paved with divine promises, hedged about with divine providences, mar­gined by fruit-trees and fountains,. thronged with angelic visitants—the

■ ravines of trouble which will cross it.all­spanned—the rivers of affliction bridged, the forests all cleared, and the deserts dotted with oases; the nights of sorrow relieved by the shining stars of com­panionship and the days of prosperity, merry with.the reaper’s song ; sickness, the soul’s ripening season, and the death-bed the angel’s*harvest field, you will never know a bleak winter, but be. translated from autumn grandeur 'to immortal spring-time. Death’s gate; will be festooned with roses as you go out, and heaven’s archway with flowers that know no decay, as you enter in.— From a, sermon by Rev. G. P. Masden.

Genuine Hospitality,

True •hospitality of the home is never, loudly and noisily demonstrative. It never overwhelms you with greeting, though you have not a doubt of its per­fect.' sincerity. You are not disturbed by the creaking of the domestic m a­chinery, suddenly driven at unwonted speedforyouraccommodation. Quietly it does its work, that it may put you in peaceable possession of its results. He is not the true host, she is not the best hostess* who is ever going to and fro with hurried action, aiid flurried man­ner, and heated countenance, as if to say: “ See bow.hospitable I can be;” biit rather the One Who takes your coming with qtiiet dignity find noiseless painstaking; who never obtrudes atten­tions, yet is very?attentive all the while;

■ who makes you, in one word—the. most ■ expressive word iri the English tongue —to be at home. There is no richer, deeper, larger hospitality than that.

Insults.It is always better to pass a dozen in­

tended insults without recognition, than to. take offence at a single unintentional neglect or reflection. Misunderstand- ings are fruitful of more unkindly feel­ings in society than ever result from deliberate ill-nature. Hundreds of friendships have been sundered by that egotistical' sensitiveness which is ever looking for.oflence.

The Sabbath. Services.

The sermon of Rev.'S. Hv Platt, pastor of DeKalb A ve. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, from 1 Cor. 15: 57:—“ Blit thanks be to God who givoth us the violory through our Ldi’th Jesiis Christ”—at ld i a . m., was one of markcd'intellcctual ami spir­itual power. lie enchanted the vast audience for an hour with the finest an­alogies, and glowing illustrations, and thrilling eloquence, until every heart was in fullest sympathy with the speaker, and while all felt that those enemies were numerous, subtle and strong, yet they were lifted to the mount of certain victory, and the meeting ended in a burst of praise. . .

The Sabbath-school at 2 r. m., num­bered720—the - largest ever assembled it the Grove. The numbers and inter­

est increase weekly. ..' . - v ’ ’The Surf -Meeting .was largely atten­

ded—:5,353 persons being: present, by ac­tual count. Addresses' were delivered by Revs. S. H. G. Smith, J. S. Cook and A. Rittenliou.se, of the Philadelphia

■ Conference, ,T. II. Smythe, Esq., of Phil­adelphia, Dr. Chamberlain, ■ returned missionary from India, E. M. Doty, Esq., Columbus, Ohio, and Rev. Sir. Morse, of the Howard.Mission, Ne.w York. Sev­eral of the Mission children were pres­ent and sang very sweetly, Amanda Smith thrilled;all hearts by'her earnest w O i'd s and triumphant songs. “ Still

To this vast crowd Were distributed ..tickets for . the Anniversary Love-feast to.be held next SBabbatTi afternoon at 3 o’clock. '

Rev. W. J. Paxson, pastor of Union ’ M. E. - Church, Philadelphia,, preached an excellent sermon at 8 o’clock, from the words : “ Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do ?” The con­gregation was immense, and listened with profound attention. I t was a very solemn meeting, and impressions were made for good never to be forgotten. ''

Chester Heights.

The Philadelphia Annual Camp- meeting at this remarkably beautiful jblaee commenced on Tuesday July 20th. To Rev. E. I. D. Pepper was assigned the general charge of the religious ser­vices, while the managers, lay and cleivl.eal. faithfully held U p his hands in the good work. ./ . \

The services were opened on Tuesday ‘ afternoon with brief practical addresses from Revs. T. A. Fernley, W.: Major, and S. W, Th'omais. Rev. H. Sanderson.

preached in the evening, from Prov. 11: 30, and the unconverted were earnestly urged to give their hearts to \

Revs. W; Coffman, C. W. Buoy and W, W. McMichael preached or= Wed­nesday, the congregations growing larger at every service, and the social meetings well sustained.

Rev. M. Sorin discoursed grandly on Thursday morning, from. “ What think ye of Christ ?” Revs. S. W. Thomas and James Neill, also delivered earnest ser­mons, afternoon and evening.

On Friday Rev. C. P. Masden preached at 10 A. M., Dr. Clark, of Savannah, Ga., in the afternoon, and W- B. Osborn at night.

The pulpit on Saturday was filled by Bros, T. M. Griffith, G. Cummins, and J. Dyson, After each sermOn-a prayer- meeting was held, and inquiring souls pointed to. the Saviour.. The Sabbath was'a day .Of great activity. Thousands came upon the grounds to hear the gospel, which was preached by Dr. Kyne.tt, Rev. P. Coombe, and Rev. Jas. Neill, from the main stand. Sermons were also preached, in the Kensington and .Central Church"'tents, besides ■ Sunday-school, conducted' by Bros. Fernley and McConnell, a love- feast, children’s meetings, ladies’meet­ings, and prayer and experience meet­ings, filling up the entire day. Convert­ing and sanctiifying grace, was realized •by many who bowed at the altars, and believed for salvation.

• Preaching services were continued on Monday by Revs. M, D. Kurtz, W. Mul­lin'- and A. Wallace, and the prospect was good, at latest accounts, for one of the best meetings ever yet held at Ches­ter Heights. „• • ' .

The Holiness. Meeting,■ Report Continued.

The last day of th e . feast, Sabbath July 18th, was emphatically, a great day in Zion—a high festival of spiritual en­joyment.

The morning dawned radiantly, and soon the joyful songs of-the worshipers in Dr. W ard’s tefttj were heard. People entered on their, holy duties,, with glad heart and voice, for.it would seem .that every soul could say :

“ The opening heavens around me shine, ,' With beams of sacred bliss."

Rev, John Thompson proposed, and all with alacrity accept ed the idea, that a sweet, saving, and sanctifying baptism of the Spirit, would be the best qualifi­cation for a full day’s service. . Asking the Father, in simple,,earnest faith, it fell upon them, and. with one accord

: they glorified God the Father, Son, aii.d Holy Ghost.

THE EXPERIENCE MEETING, .at 9 a . m ., was conducted by Dr. Palmer in his inimitable manner—so simple and yet searching, that the lingering re­mains of unbelief and carnality were exposed, and a “highway” presented for all to walk in, where they could obtain joy and gladness. The testimonies off­ered were varied, affecting, and con­clusive on the point, that Christ can save to the'uttermost. “ And the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.”

' , DR. HODGSON*was the preacher of the morning. He came to the Grove a " suffering invalid, 'and was in poor physical condition for such a pulpit effort as .the .circum­stances.seemed to demand. The,largest congregation, it .is supposed that ever assembled before the stand at Ocean

Grove, waited axpectaiitly the gospel message. It came to them, in demon­stration of the spirit and with power,

; fromthat grand unfolding- of God’s re­deeming purpose given in the prophecy of Ezekiel, 36 : 25, 26, 27—“ Then .will I sprinkle clean water upon you,” &c.

“ MORE TO FOLLOW.” :The Doctor had been preaching some

time, and feeling weary called for a chair on which lie sat down to rest, asking sister Amanda Smith, hieaiiwhilc to sing. Amanda was ready. With a voice resonant as a bugle note, pathetic and sweet as the strains of an ./Eolian harp she commenced: .

- “Have you on tlie Lord believed?Still there’s more to follow,

More and more, more and more, ;. Always more to follow.Oh His matchless, boundless love!

Still there’s more to follow.’.’

As the singing proceeded, the vast multitude taking up the chorus, preach- ers and people, wept, shouted, and' made the grove resound with “glory to God!”

AN ARGUMENT WITH SATAN.The preacher,, again rose, and for half

an hour held a kind of parley with the Devil, who comes to the anxious, soul determined to make him discredit the testimony of the Bible.

“ You are so impure in your nature— so filthy, how can you hope to be any better?”

“ True, I airi unclean.; hut; the Al­mighty God declares ‘ I will , sprinkle you—from a ir your filthiness I will cleanse you !” . .

“ That may be; but what a perverse '.•will.-yoii have; what an obdurate heart.”

‘Y es; hut he proposes to give me a new spirit to take away the,stony heart and give me adieart .of llesh.y

‘‘ But,'.remember how your love is centered on earthly things; what can sever the tie?”' , '

“ The word says, ‘from all your idols- will I cleanse you/ and I ’ll trust God to do it.”

Thus the Doctor proceeded, vanquish­ing the deceiver at every step, and with a great glow of. personal victory, declar­ing that what had been pr-ornised in the text, had really been done for himself! His experience was the . fatting climax of a most remarkable discourse,..--which those who listened- to it, will never forget. . •

Dr. Kytiett took- up the, theme, and by a few remarks deepened the general impression; until the whole, audience rising to their feet, joined in the coro­nation hymn:

. “ All hail the power of Jesus nn ine!Let angels prostrate, fall,",;,;

An invocation and ^benediction was then pronounced by tlie president Rev.E. H. Stokes.

“ STAND THE STORM.”Hardly had tlie people reached their"

respective homes, when a' thunder­storm burst upon the camp, and the rain poured down in torrents. I t was an hour of wilcl warring of the elements; but the clouds cleared away, a ra'in-bow came put in .th e sky, and soon, the ground, which had been covered With water, was dry as before.

THE SABBATH-SCHOOL assembled as usual at 2 p. m.« and the activities of the afternoon were kept up in varied religious services. A little before the. sun disappeared in gorgeous drapery, in the West, abou tfour thousand- people gathered around the flag-staff at the foot, of Ocean Pathway, to attend the. Surf1 Meeting. This, according to

f age, was opened with singing and ityei. dhd improved by excellent ad- essesfrom Sen ator-Lathrop, of Newark

Dr. Ohenowith, of Waahingtqnj D. O.,-

and Rev, T. B.)Neel^yji A^ M., Of Phila­delphia. • • ‘

Lame, -pastor" • ofFitzwater St, ~M.' • E .: Oharch. Philadelphia ^preached .the ’ evening sermon" The lessons' of 'truth, duty, arid privilege it unfolded were drawn from the history of Jacob, who wrestled with the Angel, and prevailed.

JESUS OF NAZARETH. ''" rAt the close of the sermon, Sister.

Smith was called forward, and taking the stand, sang, “ Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” Again the congregation felt ■ ; ;• ; - •' ■

n. “ The rapturoas beight .'. 'Of a holy delight,”

and under the appeals of- the speaker,. came in large nuinbei’s arotind the altai‘> to consecrate themselves to the service and love of Christ “forever.”

CLOSE OF THE MEETING.This ten day's service closed, with a

general experience meeting on Monday morning July.TOth; and was considered by those in attendance to have been one of the most useful and fruitful they had ever known. A vast amount Of good was.gained by hundreds who, enlight­ened by the Spirit, encouraged by the preached word, and stimulated by per: sonal, contact with zealous followers of Jesus, entered on a higher pfeano of ex­perience, and have found,

“ What noth ing earthly gives, or enn destroy,: . The soul’s calm sunshine and the heart-felt -

j0y.” . ■>of a complete rest in the merits of an al 1-suiiicient Saviour. \

For the manifold blessings received during these days of grace and power the final doxology was.sung with hearty zest, and those who had to leave the ground to attend to duty’s call elsewhere, left with the doxology still and. ever somidirig through their souls—“ Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”

' Q l d O r c h a r d .B e a c h .— Rev. D: C. Babcock, of Philadelphia, is making ar­rangements for an excursion from New York to the National Temperance Camp- meeting to .be held at Old Orchard Beach, Maine, August 1.7-26. Further particulars will be given hereafter.

Local, and- Personal.;

—The sanitary condition pf the Grove was never so good as at present.

—It is-th^ united sentiment that the meetings were never more blessed.

—rPresident. Grant is to be present at our Anniversary exercise, on next Sat­urday; July olst. ' ■

—Frank Cookman, son of .the late Rev, Alfred Cookniiui, will deliver an address at the Ocean.Grove Anni versary.

—The choir of St. Paul’s Church will conduct the' singing-at the Ocean Grove Annniversary on Saturday and -Sabbath next. "

—Multitudes pf persons are here this year for the first-time, and we have yet to learn of any who are hot pleased with the place.

—Bishop Scott will lay the corner­stone of St. Paul’s M. E. Church, for Ocean Grove and vicinity, next Satur­day afternoon at 4 o clock. .

—A number of distinguished persons are upon the ground—-professors, jurists, ihinisters, authors, &c. The time fails even to mention many of their names,

—Vast crowds of people came • in on last Saturday night, so that ill the boarding-houses were full. But as num­bers leave every day, there is generally but littlo difficulty iii getting- rooms.

— I n the hottest weather, there is al­ways a: fine, refreshing sea-breeze at the Ocean View House, Aaburv Park—the pekreSt boarding-house 'to the surf—and as for the proprietor and his accommo­dations, a!; who haye. tried them speak highly ofboith. . ' ..
