SKA CLIFF Grove, L. L, July 23, 1874. The great camp mecting at Sea Olttr Tabernacle opened this morning at eleven o'clock. The con- gregation, if gathered in an ordinary church, would be large, but in this immense butlding, capa- ble of holding 6,000 people, the few hundreds who came upon the morning boat and the few scores who have been on the ground looked but a mere handful. It was hoped and intended that the Southern Mothodist Bishops would have been pres- ent this morning and that the service should cor? sist of an introduction Of those brethren to the as- sembied friends. They did not reach the ground, however, until near the close of the service, and then they repaired to the hotel for rest and quiet. The Rev. William Ross, who is pastor of the few | ' permanent dwellers on the ground and has charge of the religious services, had, at the last moment, to improvise asermon. He was enabled to do this by the willingness of DR, FP. BOTTOME, OF NEW YORK, to preachd. The topic of bis discourse was a good one, but it was evident from its treatment that it lacked preparation. Alter an earnest prayer by Brother Ross and the singing of hymn 236, Dr. Bottome confessed to a feeling of embarrassment in baving thas to supply a need which it was intended the Bishops should meet, His text was Isaiah Hx., 19—“When the enemy shail come in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord shall ft up a standard against him.’ The Doctor treated his subject under three aspects:— The condict suggested by the text; the time and manner of the enemy’s coming; and the power and means by which he is to be overcome. Im his description of the conflict he pictured the spread of religious {ndiference and senttmentalism tn the land, and the Church of Christ lying helpless in the midst of a godiess generation. We build fine churches, thoroughly equipped, furnished with | magnificent music and eloquent preachers, and yet, he sald, we can’t get more than a FEW SCORES OF UNCONVERTED PEOPLE d rvices teenth precinot, while dispersing a gang of rowdics Meare bth lad Pee Seuey ce euceumisne. ee in all our charches. We have all the forms and ceremonies and rites of religion among us, but we have lost its power—the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He was glad that Colenso and Darwin and such men had published their semt-infidel notions. They did more than anything else to call attention to the Bible, 80 that we understand the Old Testa- ment to-day better than the fathers understood tt. | The Doctor dwelt on the promise of the text, that the Spirit should lift up the standard against the enemy. He indicated the methods by which tuls flow of iniquity might be stopped—namely, by those financial crises which we call panios, and which come to us we know not howor why, but yet we re convinced tt is of Divine origin and order. And (t ts thus that God often makes sin its own punishment, Unjast rulers are another means; and @ revival of the old methods of redeeming men, such as the camp meetings and the “Prayer Test,” which has brought the Church to consider the matter of prayer from a just standpoint.

The application of the Doctor's sé1 therefore, was that if the people at this camp gath- ering wanted the Divine blessing to come upon and frequent! in eee both in their private places and in their public assembiios. The Rev. W. H.
