Salvation at Ocoan Grove,

TH E W'ORK STILL GOING ON.

Last 8abbath was the fifteenth since religious meetings wero commenced in the Ocean.Grove Tabornacle tho pres­ent year, and there-will probably be an­other Sunday service before this conve­nient and memorable place of resort will be dosed for the season.

Not one of those fifteen SabbatliB, nor hardly an evening during tho interven­ing weeks, but has been characterized by Scriptural exposition, tha use of pleasant and precious hym ns, thr.lling testimony, and earth and heavon raov ing prayel-enough , to comprise a . fail volume, if nil were written just as they transpired. And, to a considerable ex tent, the Bame m ight bo aiiid of the ten Sabbaths in which the Auditorium has been used, besides the work -done for i5od and souls-in tho Young People's Temple. .

A better day than Inst Sabbath wo have not had the whole season, ltainy

. as was tho weather, the place could hardly hold the crowds whu poured ih So hear tho sermons of,Rev, J. S. Inskip and How J. G. Sohles, morning and evening Leavened as wore the peoplo in a “ wholo lum p" by previous adm in­istration of the “ grace that briiigeth salvation,” both preachers had eager mid attentive hearers, and “ tlio word was with power.*'

DR. PALMER'S LAST MEETING.

F or more than three-score daya, punc­tually a t the appointed radioing hour, Dr. and Mrs. I’almor have opened up tiieir peculiarly pronounced and always blessed meetings; crowding, by a wise economy of passing tim e, into, their hour -anldft half, such, variety, and yet Buch gonerai unity of purpose and de­sign, as we .believe has had and will con­tinue to have, n 'm arked and powerful effect in new-shaping tlie lives and ex­perience of scores and hundreds. In ­tending'to leav.e the Grove, on Monday, the last m eeting of this blessed aeries was' held am id the descending showers of Sunday m orning. There were enough present to claim the promise, and they did. ISven. as the rain came down from heaven, so did. the sweet sp irit of consecration, quickening and establish­ing power eome upon the people, The Doctor] when th a t , gathering often an­nounced, will bo held a thousand years hence on somo spicy hill-side of “ beau­tiful Zion,” will be satisfied to see, by the thousands ol white-robed ones who shall keep the pledge they have given, that he hns not lived or labored in vain. The editor expects to bo among them, without note-book or p en c il; for the toil of types shall be ended, and all rec­ords except the “ Lamb's Book of Life” shall be sh u t forever.

BRO. INSKIP’S SERMON.Instead of attem pting the impossible

in tho form of a report of ono of the most overwhelming discourses ever preached a t Occnn Grovo, we may in­dulge ourselves a little, and gratify the renders of T h e R e c o r d aa well, by -wri­ting of it in such a way as may bless five thousand people moro than those who consider it one of tho greatest priv­ileges of their lives to have hoard it.

TUB CIRCUMSTANCES.'Readiness of adaptation is one of tho

finest traits of any preacher. Thero is a tide in tho ebb and flow of sentim ent which, taken a t the right juncture, bears a speaker right into the inner citadel of hum an hearts, which, with all the forti- fiCiTtionfl of preconceived opinion, go down and capitulate, as did tho long defiant ilag oue day a t Vicksburg.

Bro. Inskip, as if posted by a pres­cience cz> comprehensive as it was m inute, planted him self on a subject which, ns Shakspeare once advised, gave his mind “ sea-room" in asserting the foundations of true faith, storm ing with tho hand-grenades of satire and solid rebuko, ev ery . flippant folly of atheism, every inconsistent theory of false science, and every “ refuge of lies' into which misguided men are so silly as to run, in thoir opposition to God’s accredited plan to save a world of sin ners lost,

TH E TEXTwas taken from 1 Cor. 1: 25, " Because the foolishness of God is wiser than m en ; arid the weakness of God is stronger than m en.” That is, what the world in its wisdom called weak - and foolish, the preaching of the cross, the divine m ethod to renovate and redeem ruined souls, was better than all hum an philosophy, ancient or modem.

RELIGION,tho preacher said, is no t to bo subjected to a cold, critical analysis Nobody can judge properly of its nature, define or explain it, without possessing its actual transforming power. Ho enjoyed relig ion all the better for not understanding it. Its mysteries are far too deop for finite research, and bearing as it does tho stam p of an incomprehensible God; ns its author, we may adoringly em brace it, and praise the bridge that carries us safely over.

H o had no lime to W aste on that class of fools who m ight want him to demon strate tho truth of Christianity—m e n who shut their.own eyes and then com­plain thoy have no light. Let them go on in their choson path anti see where thoy will bring up.

' TAKE IT, FOR GRAFTED . th a t revelation is true. As ono man he was immensely interested th a t i t should he so. No apology for assum ing this. I f not, thero’u nothing lull for hum an liopu, and all is.chaos to the soul.

Look nt the disclosed mode, in the

word of God for righting up the ru in of the fall —the adaptation of doctrine— the doctrinfe of a suprem e -'ChM.: •' How much' better th is ''than any substitute the world ever offered; B ut the hitch is no t hero; I t to ra ther in tho method of saving by a tonem ent, and that atorie- m ent • involving so touch o f pain ; and sacrifice and blood.

H era was the stone of stumbling to the Greeks. B ut Paul brought- out the idea th a t to /

ALL TVHO BELIEVE

Christ crucified, becomes the wisdom and strength o f God. “ H e is m ade unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redem ption.” In this, aspect of the case; wo behold the love of God, who in Christ is reconciling the world unto himself.

The sweep of these doctrines take us through and beyond time, opens a glori­ous heaven, preceded by the resurrec­tion .morning, and a t every step afford solid footing; I f it is a l la hallucina­tion, he preferred it to the godless phil­osophies of those who prated about culture, somo of whom hardly knewthe moaning of their favorite word,

* •IN ITS EFFECTS

this gospol alone meets the cry of the perishing, H ere to pardon, full and free. Here, is purity and unctuous joy. H ere is power, sin-destroying, all-con- quoring.

A formal religion is about the poor­est thing going. The world to-day to living more religion than i t has got! The outside ia far in advance of the in ­ner spiritual life. Emotion, enthusi­astic fervor, the speaker contended for with all his native ingenuity and earn­estness, The . people were “ strangely warmed” whenever Bro. Inskip touched on this point, aiid the “ freedom” of tho meeting, in responsive attestation was re trashing,

SO BETTER WAY.

Again and again did the speaker take up blatailt objectors and unbelievers, and flay them alive. Head religion, ho insisted, will no t’ satisfy or save, The religion that does us any good m ust be in the heart! Tho Spirit’s awakening affectB the • heart. To be healed, the heart is first- broken and contrite, and " with the heart m an believeth unto righteousness.”

The best sensibilities of our nature m ust get on iiro. W hen the heart is cleansed and perfected; iu love, the in ­tellect, with sill its faculties, will soon fall in line, and you will seo a character complete. .

, CERTITUDE

belongs only here. Skepticism ia am ­biguous always, but.the simple believor, once saved, has all the essentials of tho system, a m atter o f consciousncss, and can then eosily get over the disputed ground. Everything after you’ are saved is merely incidental, 'Take in all God has revealed, because, he reveals his Son in us. This tinges life and labor with true glory. Tlie millehnfum has come to a soul where a living Jesus reigns. H allelujah!

W ith frequent allusions to acquaint­ances present, to his own experience, and to those enbalmed in the memory of Ocean Grove who have gone to glory, strong^:- when they died than when in life and health , the sermon merged into a scene of indescribable, and yet very enjoyable confusion. People were bap­tized, and according to varying tem per­am ent, some bowed in luxurious weep­ing, and others with shining facessbont- od aloud the praiso of God.

A closing prayer by Bro, Bancroft,- and. a rapturous song of Zion, failed to quiet the holy tum ult, as people left the place saying, "Surely the Lord is here!”

Out of th®-SepticThe evening sermon of last Sabbath

was by Rev. J . 0. Nobles, of Newark; N.-.T., on, the first three verses .o f the 40th Psalm; descriptive of the process o f a soul's conversion. ,

A large, expectant congregation filled the brilliantly-lighted Tabernacle- For h a lf an hour before tho- service com: commenced those favorite co-laborers in th e departm ent of .Christian song, Mr. and Mra, Lincoln, filled up the.in- tervening tim e moat onjoyably:.by isad- ing the congregation in vociil praise to thn Redeemer’s name.. Bros. Inskip, Evans, Bancroft, W ythe,M ead; Olin and o ther ministers to the num ber of a score or more, opcupied th o : platform and were acatteres! through the congrogfi- tion, The preacher of the evening . Was surrounded-by Bome of the old friends of his earlier ministry, and considerably affected- by the impressive circum­stances and memories, jfhich crowded upon him . B ut he- w k m aster of the situation, because ho keenly entered into the them e of his discourse.

DELIVERANCE.Passing over the supposition that

David’s poetic imagery celebrated a merely temporal event, he showed that the scope of the passage fairly implied deliverance from the greatest of all calamities, sin in the soul.. ■ .

This is a religious . experience; which told by one- man; o f himself, suits all men everywhere, the world over. 'There is endless diversity in the m inor partic­ulars, bu t wonderful unity in the essen­tial features of an evangelical conver­sion. -

DIVERSITY IN UNITY.

Even under plenary inspiration every writer of tho. Biblo retains a marked individuality. Moses wonid hardly havo been a Methodist in these days. Jere­m iah m ight he a good Baptist deacon. Peter and Paul would be of tho intense o rder of itinerants, and tho latter vould probably suit for a Methodist bishop with the “ regions beyond ;l as well as the; care o f all the churches, upon his great earnest heart. David would pass for a “ shotitihg M ethodist," In telling his experience he is understood exactly by all who have come to a true knowl­edge of God.

Analyzing the text, the preacher pre­sented the" following points for rem ark and application:

1. Whore tho Psalmist foundhiiiisolf. In a “ horrible p it,” &c. ,

2. W hat ha did in the emergency. “ W aited patiently,” &c. Cried unto God.

8, W hat God did for him .The object of all this in its reflex'in­

fluence .-on others. W hore one poor struggling soul has been reached and saved, there is guarantee of help, and hope for every, m an, ,

The sinner finding himaelf in this ''h o rrib le p it,” and unable to extricate himself, has a friend .near when lie “ cries,’: «2od ind ines—leans over, sym- pathizingly, to listen and to save.

Tho several points of the text were here amplified and applied to porsonal salvation, with its outcome of song8, its new life of joy, its directguidance under the hand of Almighty power and love.

“ W hat Ged had done, for David,” said Bro. Nobles, " H e has done for me. Ho can save a man after ho has been ruinod. I stand a living m onum ent of the mercy so far-reaching and the grace ao free, that I am perm itted to offer you to-night. 0 taste and see that the Lord is good!”

Ilev. Bro. Mead, tho evangelist, here took the platform, singing:

" W hut can wash away my sin?Nothing but the blood o f JeHUS?” ,

W ith tha preacher of the evening he said he could rejoice over his own sal­vation Ho was another brand plucked from the lire ; a sinnor saved by grace. W ith telling instances of an awakening character ho appealed to the uncon­verted, until a num ber rose at the invi­tation, requesting prayer. For some time, those wlio >vere seeking were directed to tlio Saviour arid encouraged by supplication and singing., 'f ho day’s devotion ended iii holy fellowship and dovout thankBgiving. •

To the Lot Holdere'ef Ocean'Grove,

H aving attended to our duty..relating to the corporation, perm it us to m ake a few suggestions, relating personally to yourselves,■'' . .’v:;

Ocean Groye ns a watering-place was an accident. Its government is a clone corporation, principally o f absentees, and chosen for life a t th a t... Its streets are wood-paths widened: Its roads made of clay brought twenty' miles, while its lawns are made of aod brought forty. Its soil is only beach sand-and gravel, more barren than the “‘stony places” of the Scripture way, and its native trees, mostly scrubs, which per­ish when brought in' contact with m an; or do not flourish even if they survive, Ite lote a re only ten6 lots; which, afford, little privacy as. to each other, and less its to ,the street. The coast storm s are absolutely terrific and the sandy surface bound to run into the. lake unless pro­tected by. sod. The lake itself has a habit of departing a t pleasure, and after nine years of effort to control it, still continues to go out a t ita own sweet will. Nevertheless, the place is abso­lutely heal thy ,• picturesque, unique and .immenaely popular^ and it can be rhade as beautiful*as :you seq fit-. to m ake .it. I t has woods without mosquitoes, stand­ing water with out m al aria, salt atul fresh water bathing scarcely twenty feet a p a r t ; • the safest" boating for women; and children in the world,'witli relig­ious instruction and am oral atm osphere thrown in. Everybody comes here, or propo-vea to come, n ))ieli %Wc3 the place a trem endous growth. I t is.yours, and you m u st perfect and protect it; The corporation assumes its m unicipal gov­ernm ent while you alone are responsi­ble for its beauty. If your places havo a careless, scabby, mangy look (aud many of thom have), no.am ount of a t­tention to the strectii and. parks will redeem the place. Io n should lead the corporation in landscape im provement, which, perm it us to say you have here­tofore only followed, non piussibus eqitix. The smallness of your, lota ena­bles you to sod and mow them , besides planting some vines, and flowers and. trees. The example of each will react on the other, and a general m ovem ent stim ulate the tardy, and m ake Ocean Grove the most uniquely beautiful spot on the continent. As an illustration, every inch of terrace was built in emu lation of one man.

Again : Ocean Grove represents Meth odiam. Ita taste m arks the aesthetics of your Cliurch, your homes, of yourselves; while the want of it enrries its own in ­ference,; but to come down to details, greensward is the only connecting link between a house which is a work of a r t anti the rough surface of the adjacent earth. Many of your cottages stuck down in the dirty sand look like a pearl in a swine's snout. .Why? B ecauseofthe striking contrast between the artistio character of the house aud the shock­ingly rude condition of the adjacent soil. The only- remedy is to graduate the one to the other by means of a well-kept sod, and so prevent th a t shock to the taste caused by the immediate union of the artistic and the rude. Therefore, wo ask you to plant sod, and after you have planted, protect it. I f you sub-let your premises leave them protected with barbed wire, so th a t ill- bred tenants may not destroy the work of the cultured owner. Tenants here are powerless in the presence of their guests, and landlords in the presence of their tenants, but barbed wire is an argum ent whose potni i s a n d re­respected by all concerned. May. the blessing of. Ocean Orove rest on tho in ­ventor of barbed wire.

Moreover, p lan t nursery trees. Trees, like m en, flourish be?t when trans­planted. The native growth here is m ainly srrub , which, like other aborig­ines, retires, before - civilization. Im ­ported irees cost )e?s than fifty cents a piece. A country house without trees is like utility without bt-auty,;tho.belter p art warning, l'hint honeysuckles, which iii lord perfume as well as beauty, thus killing two Birds with ono stone. Pleusc remove tho uativo trees as fast

as they dio. There is Scripture for that a t least. . W o ask you to snub the sense­less talk of strangers about drainage. Tell them that all garbage is carted off the precinct d a ily ; th a t all excrementi-; tions m atter is drained into water-tight vaults, and taken out in. the w inter to fertilize tho p a rk s ; that this system is v perfect if properly carried out, and to; carry it out only requires peat m uck (of which we have an abundance), to pre­vent fermentation, and the m uck in tu rn becomes valuable as m anure. In this way air, earth and water aro perfectly protected, therefore we again urge you to silence tha t foolish criticism based on • rudim entary ignorance of a subject al- . ready mastered by those who have it in charge../ •

Wo implore you not to endure a nui- ’ sance for.one moment, either on your own or your neighbor’s premises. F irs t notify the chief of. the health board, a n d if’notatttinded to im mediately then notify us. Sod tho triangles in your neighborhood and plant a bunch of begonias in the centre, and so com pen-: sate the public for the stupidity of the original' survey. P u t tho sweepings from your houses where they are no longer dirt. Do not try to . cure one smell by m aking another, but remove the cause of tho first. Do not rely on disinfectants, th a t is only a stay of pro­ceedings. Better m ake a . motion to quash the writ. Fill your vaults with dry m uck in tlio Spring., This’is a per­fect remedy for the chief o f Ocean Grove nuisances:^ smells. If you will have a vat on your premises to gen­erate nitrogenous odora throw in cop­peras, which will destroy ono cla>sa of themi a t least. ** .

Finally, spend your.m oneyin beauti­fying ybur Ocean Grove property. I t wns ii social epoch in your lives when ■ you built a country house. Now put out’m pney enough to carry out the id^a ! and it will be a better investm ent for your children than pouring it into the wasteful coflers o f m ost of our corpora­tions. . ; ■ J. K.

The Watered L ilie s ; .On, ONLY AN EAHTHEN VESSEL.

The Master stood in IIU garden . . Among the lilies fair,W hich His own right hand had planted , And tra ined with tenderest care.

Ho looked a t th e ir snowy blossoms, .. And m arked w ith observant eye,

T h a t H is flowcra wero sudly drooping,For th eir leaves wero parched and dry.

• • “ My lilies need to bo watered,”• ' Tho Heavenly Maater said; '

•' Whorein shall 1 draw ’It for them ,And raise each drooping head T,;.

Close to His feet; on the pathway,Empty, and frail, and Bmall,

• An earthen vessel was lying, ' ’ ‘W'hlch seemed of no \iso a t a l l . ,

lin t the Mnster paw, and raised It From the dust In which It lay ,

And smiied as He gently whispered, " .• " ThU shall ilo my work to-day,” . ‘ .

" I t is but an earthen vessel, . 'B u tlt lay so clo«e to M e;

It Is 6malI, bu t i t Is empty.And th a t Is all it needs to be.’.'

So to tho fountain He took It, ,And filled it full to the brim ;

How glad was the earthen vessel . To be of gome use to Him. , ' - .,

H e poured forth the living water Over His lilies fair.

• Until tho vessel was empty,And again Ho filled it thero,

He wutcrcd tho drooping lilies .Until they revived again,

And tho Master saw with pleasure That Ills labor had not been in vain. .

His own band had draw n tbe water \Vhlch refreshed th e thirsty flowers,

But He m od the earthen vessel To convey the living showers.

And to Itself i t whispered, .As He laid It aside once more,

“ Still w ill I lie In H is pathw ay.Ju st where I d id before."

Tho congregation a t St. PauVs M. E. Church is now increasing. The pastor preniched m orning and evening on Sab­bath Inst, and somo professed to be grcntly profited by tho word.

Mr. George W . Evans, Secretary, took charge of all the meetings on tho de partu jo of Dr. Stokes for a week’s vaca­tion imd rest, nnd was relieved by the retu rn of tho Doctor, on Thursday.

Rev. Bro. Bancroft’s sermon in the Tabernacle on Inst Tuesday evening, on the tex t , “ W atchm an, what of the n ight?" was a fine exposition of the passage, and presented somo very hope­ful views as to tho ultim ate success of the G ospel.. -

Officer Tantuni reports no less than twelve new cottages already commenced in Ocean Grove. In some cases the formor cottages are being repaired nnd enlarged. This itidi cates an early com moncemont of work on the line of im­provement.

‘"H ere, brother,” snid one of the “ good” sisters, after reading nn intim ation th a t the editor m et with ft finan­cial reverse, ." here’s my subscription for ft couplo of yenre ahead. I t may help you on.” The Lord bless her, and all such kindly-disposed people!

Seabright will bo highly honored in a fow weeks from this date by the as­sembling of the entire bench of Bishops of the M. E. Church, who will hold their Fall m eeting ftt the house of Gen. Clinton B. FiBk. They will all proba­bly take a trip to Ocenn Grove.

The woods m eeting now in progress near Elberon, under charge of Rev. R. J. Andrews, is attended with a large m easure of success. Five persons were converted there on W ednesday eve­ning. Rev. J. S. Inskip is to preach at tlio meeting next Sabbath m orning and afternoon.

During the week there has been a general clearing up in and around the Auditorium. The m atting has been shaken and folded, tho settees and benches have been piled away, and the tents have almost entirely vanished. Somebody suggests that the Camp hns fallen into tlie hands of the Assyrians, b u t we hardly give credit to the sug­gestion.

Mrs. A. M.-French, widow of the lato• Chaplain French, who took such a

p rom inent part in the moral and relig- . ions culture of tho Freedmen, nnd was

so highly esteemed by the chief officers o f tho government, ho served so effi­ciently, is at present enjoying a visit to Ocean Grove. W e hear thnt a memoir of her late husband is to be published.

ould want to include Mr. Fulton.T hat beautiful poem entitled “ W at­

Lot Owners—Attention.

The/address'-we publish on our first page, signed by a responsible name, with high authority behind it, to the entire body of property owners in Ocean Grove, we have no hesitation in de­claring to be ono of the moat timely, practical, valuable and comprehensive papers evor prin ted in this sheet. I t will be our in terest and care to bob th a t every lot owner shall havo the oppor­tunity to read it, and if they only heed ita obvious suggestions, tho good that shall grow ou t of thiB single appeal may be incalculable. ■ I t iB not unlikely that some of the particulars to which Mr. Hayward directs attention may elicit a difference of jud g m en t I f so, the committee, we assume to say, will take it kindly, if gentlemen raising any ques­tion of fact or expediency will candidly make their sentim ents known, nnd our columns are open to them, for this p u r­pose. The highest prosperity of Ocean Grove, we believe, is the object of the lot owners organization, and: as th a t is in exact harm ony with all our efforts, T h e R e c o r d is a t their disposal as a medium of communication, and a oo- worker in the general design.

The. Tabernacle Meetings.

SIXGIKG THE OLD HYMNS.

For a month or so in iho early part of the season, a perceptible increase is noticed in num bers 0 11 every occasion of worship, until the uncounted m ulti­tude reaches its culmination on Camp meeting S unday .... Then the ebb sets in and for. several ' w eeks; the .evening congregations grow small by degrees, until the last doxology is sung in tho Grove, and St. Paul's church becomes the rallying spot for religiously inclined people. Should the Septomber equinox occur one of these days it will close the Tabernacle as well as term inate tent life, but m eanwhile, tho best u b o is being made of otherwise unoccupied timo, nnd evening after evening the people are found in their acciiBtomed sente, taking a now inlorest in every turn of the exercises, and enjoying very highly tho informal character given to these gatherings. •

Sometimes a brief sermon is preached by a passing stranger, but most gener­ally the, hour i s : devoted to prayer, reading the.Scriptures, singing and the narration ot experience. Bro. Evans, who had charge for over- a week, was prom pt and punctual as the evening bell to open his meetings, but very rarely could he close them on time, such a tide of in terest continued to rise the longer peoplo “ spake one to ano­ther.” In these testimonies, some of the 'most tenderly affecting incidents came out, as illustrations of the faith­fulness o fa covenant keeping God, a n ­swers to prayer, comfort in tribulation, help, when earthly remedies failed, and joy intermingling with every, cup of sorrow .'

Ono evening the them e incidentally became absorbing, on tho power and sweetness of the old hym ns. Brethren and sisters being enoouraged to pro­ceed, rose and sung the stanzas of their childhood, the melodieis of their grand­mothers. I t was one of the m ost-ex­citing hour's we ever experienced in that place., Those of. the M ethodist persuasion appeared to claim all these old lyrics as the heritage, of their own denom ination, u n ti l Mre, Dr, Ward, a Presbyterian of the Presbyterians, rose and informed us th a t they were the common property of the general assem­bly and church of the living God. “ W hy," said Sister W ard, “ I nursed m y little children on these very hy mns.” She gave a ntim ber of reminisences of the fariiily tra in ing school of, a genera­tion gone by. arid.could herself lead off in the quaint and stirring strains of

VI am bound for tho kingdom , '■ Wlll-you p o to g lo ry w ith m e, ■. O halle lu jah!praiso 'yc*theL ord ."

• This m eeting was adjourned oyer to the next, evening, and . whenever one of the old hymns' was started, it was won­derful to flee the brightening eyes, the next instant filled with tears, an the holy meinbries o f the past rushed in upon the soul. ) .; :■

Bros. Mullen,. Noble,. Page, a blind brother from Trenton, Weston, of New York, and Sisters Nixon, of W est Phil­adelphia, Miller, of Vineland, • and a dozen others,'seemed to have an inex­haustible store of this almost forgotten wealth in sentim ent and song, and we note it as a significant fact that Ocean Grove has revived and will keep alive the early hym ns of the cliurch militant.

Wonders of Providence and Grace.

Toward the close of the m eeting in the Tahernacle Inst Monday evening, after a succession of thrilling insta.nce8 had been given of God’s power and love, a brother roso, saying, if all these simple narratives cou ld . be collected, with the heart history o f eaoh, and its back ground of circum stances to con­stitute the warp and woof o f a connect­ed story, tha t single m eeting would make one of the most interesting books that had ever been printed. In the old Arminian. Magazine, fam iliar to his childhood, he said there was always a departm ent entitled “ The wonders of Providence nnd Grace.” Wesley h im ­self had pltmned the publication and started that particular collection of re ­m arkableevenis bearing on.the Conver­sion, sanctification, and preservation of souls : yet, continued the speaker, I never, m et with a-nything more strik ­ing than I have hoard here to-night. H ere is one case : A very unassum ing little woman cam e to this ground five years ago, and in language with a slight­ly foreign accent, began to pray that sho-m ightbe converted. She waa soon saved. The next year she appeared among ub- again, b u t with) -sadness stamped upon h er face. H er h U B b a n d

was going to ru in by the infatuation of drink. She couldn’t help it, and knew not what to do. B ut th a t year Bhe got wholly sanctified, and went to hor wretched hom e with new purpose in heart and hope. She took hold on God like"Jacob a t Peniel. The third year she returned, and I heard her-tell, of a saved husband, rescued as from the m outh of hell. A nother year and her two daughters had been brought to the foot of the cross. Last season she was rejoicing th a t hor sonB-in-law had also been converted, and here to-night she simply givos all this History, iis a reason why sheshould praise God and why we all should help her in offering such a tribute to Infinite Love. Look a t this little story of domestic life running ■through five years. A besotted slave of of rum and tobacco completely redeem­ed. P rayer heard in heaven and answered in o ther respects, and the hom e that, was so hopeless and sad, now rad ian tw ith light and love I

This, lie added, was b u t one of per­haps a hundred instances, in which a wonder-working God, had directed tho feeblest.hum an agency in the accom­plishm ent of results th a t thrilled three words ; and how little account we take o f such things as-they transpire and are forgotten. W hen the speaker sa t down, there w ere.half a dozen ready in a m om ent to launch out on the line of reflection ju st opened, but-ono brother became eloquent to an unwonted degree in the utterance of great thoughts, en­kindled by such a train of providence as had been referred to. Instead of closing a t 9, the mooting ran until nearly 10 o'clock, and th en 'peop le re luctantly went home, and longed for the nex t evening to hear m ore on tho same subject This is why the services are always so engaging; and. every suc­cessive meeting, a m eans o f unfolding more anil more the secret of Christ’s redeeming power.

pointed the people to their higher in ­terests in seeking first the kingdom of God, and following alter his righteous­ness. The service closed with the faniil- iar parting Bong so often repeated by the side o f those restless waves,

Another Surf Meeting.T h e w eather having cleared up on

last Sunday afternoon, a num ber of Ocean Grove -visitors were found as usual taking their evening stroll along the beaoh, and occupying seats ' in the paviliion a t the foot o f Ocean Pathway,' watching the huge billows as they rolled in arid spent their force and fury on the sandy beach. : ■■ About 6 P. M. one of the preachers

came along, and securing the services of Bro. O. L . Gardner, to conduct the singing, there was speedily collected a good congregation, w ho entered very heartily into the informal and unex­pected services of the occasion.

One. of the speakers referred to a brother who at tha t identical Bpot, juB t a year ago, made his first publio p r o ­fession o f dovotement-’to the service of Christ, he having been converted from infidelity.only a few days before. -That brother, said the speaker, went home full o f the new sensations of his new life| and began to work for Jesus in the neighborhood where he resided. As a result, the Cause of God began to revive and hundreds were awakened and con­verted. W e m eet here once more, he continued, and for th e last tim e this yetir, the last tinie,'(Tbuhtless w ith some of us, on earth. Let ua again, amid these hallowing and never-to-be-forgot­ten associations, pray for help and grace to be useful through life, and all m eet in heaven.

M iss Lizzie Miller, an evangelist from W est Virginia, being- in the audience, delivered a very appropriate nnd earn­est religious address, recommending religion to all, as an unfailing well- spring of peacoand undying pleasure. She was followed by Rev. G. S; Broad- bent, of Hestonville, Phila., who ulso

This morning, as I stood waiting for th e glorious sunrise over the sea, in perfect certainty that I should not bo disappointed,:it seemed Lto‘me(that for tho first tim e iii my life, I could see a l­most beyond the horizon; that it re ­quired but little; if any:stretch of the imagination to discover that the sun was shining brightly ;on th o jlarkocean just beyond the point where tbe sky and the waters m et.- Then; when- th a t indesoribable brightness, ..so quietly,' surely, resolutely, rose above the. wa­ter's edge, the thought came to me like one of the sun’s rays, “ why thero it has been all the time, you have oply turned so far toward it that its rays are able to reach you,” This grandest of object lessons always seems to illustrate (iome precious religious tru th ;,o ld , yet over new, according to the differing phases under which i t is presented. Ani| so, like a new invitation to my 80.ul,c)ime the thought ' that, just so the Son .,f Righteousness is there.in, the beavciiB, waiting for'us only to turn our souls to­ward him, that; his rays may penetrate to the darkest corners, illum ine, our whole -being, s.nd m ake what was , .be­fore so dark, and cold, and forbidding, —bright, warm, and nttractiye. Are not many who would be Christians, "too much like one who would resolutely close his eyes and gjo about determined to grope his own way, tiil, with bruised head and limbs, lie gladly lifts bis eye­lids to see the “ straight gate and .the narrow way.” all illumined, nnd he learns for the first tim e that every ono of God's commands is also a promise. W hen God says "believo,” he ‘knows that he lias given us faith, when ho says “ behold the Lamb,”, he knows tha t we may “ look and live."

I thought too, how much we are like those who accustom themselves to live in darkened ' rooms, shutting out..the full rays of the sun, lest tlie bright coi- ore in our carpet should .fads ;-never thinking, that in the henutifulnesS find bubyancy his brightness would awaken, the faded' carpet would be forgotten; and homely things would be gilded with the zest and glory of keen enjoy­m ent. Then I thought o f those dark, cold, dam p cellars in our large cities, into which the light of day can ’never penetrate, crowded with hum an beings who never see the sun, and m any of whom would start back in dismay if one burst of sunlight should, disclose tho cobwebs and the dam p and mould upon the walls. The first im pulse of theso poor, weakened, and diseased denizens would bo to shu t out forever th e 1 light th a t not only revealed the hidcouaneBS of their abodes, bu t would a t the sam e time give healthfulness and ambition to sweep away the cobwebs, and would, by its own cleansing, sweet­ening power, dry tbe dam pened' walls, destroy the mould, scatter the poisoned vapore, arid purify the air; ,Tjs t so are Christians afraid to welcom e-the full blaze of God’s precious truth into their souls, not remembering .'that' the same power that reveals the heart's deceitful- ness and corruption can cleanse and purify it, and mako it a fitting temple for the Holy S p irit

Renting Cottages.

Cottage owners in Ocean Grove are adm onished to bp careful as to -who m ay occupy their houses (luring the w inter to on thB.;:;’ Before riitak ing any arrangem ent o f this*. kind it would be advisable for them , to confer witli the authorities of the Grove, who reserve, the right to grant o r withhold perniie* sion to live inside the gates between the months of October and May of each year. As there will be hundreds of cot­tages vacant during the W inter, i t is of the greatest im portance tha t none blit persons . of good character should be perm itted1 to rem ain in the place. The Association is determined to exorcise a very, strict ..oversight in th is regard. Property interests are too sncred to be jeopardized by careless or vicious neigh­bors, and it will require a good record on the part of any p ereo ri apply in g th is year to gaih permission to reside here,

Agents are only interested in accom­m odating owners and tenants, .and making their usual com m ission^ The merely nom inal sum for which houses are rented, even if it is. ever collected by the agent br owner, is poor compen­sation1 : for abuse o f premises during seven or eight months; ;a::d‘i t • wouId be fouivd in the m ajorityiof instances, far more satisfactory io closbthese cottages and leave them under the direct charge of the Association and its watchmen, than' allow uncertain perflons to occupy them: All appliqatiorifl for leaivei to oc­cupy cottages in W inter m.Ubt be made to the'Association a t its .meeting* in Oc­tober, an d ' tha t body has very { wisely reserved 'the right to grant or’ reject cuch applications; as the. -nature of the case m ay seem to dem and;

Our 8uggestiori is th a t friends leaving the grounds, carefully close their cot­tages, and leave the 'keys, in every case, a t the Association; Office, where they will always he;fniiiid when Called for;.

BY JOHN M. HOWE, M. I).

Declining health has driven tho wri­ter from his honie iri quest of restorVir tion. A beautiful Sum m er’s Snbbnth morning in 3833 found him in City 3oml Chhpei in London, England. Tlie Chur cl), Ihe pulpit, tlio chancel;, the tablets on tho wall to tho memory of Rov. John and Charles Wesley, Dr.

Tho sing­ing, the prayers, the serm on by tho

H enry Moore, then in very advanced age and v.ery feeble, the contem porary or Mr. Wesley and liis biographer; Tho whole service, with tho surroundings, seemed quite bn the .verge of heaven. After the service, on being introduced by the, lato Janies Rtrfuial, one of the stewards of the Chiir/h, in the vostry, to the pas­tor and Mr. Moore, Mr. i i . rem arked tlm t I was in poor health. Mr. Moore took hold of my hand with both of his, arid, giving me a hearty grasp, said, " I wish, air, I could give you tho reception you deserve.” I replied, “ Sir, you givo iiioii better recoption than I deserve.” H o then added, " W hen I first began to preach I broke down in tlireo years, and it waa thought that I waa in adeep decline; but I wanted to do it all in my own strength; b u t I havo lived to preach tho gospol sixty years since that time. I speak this for your encour­agem ent;” and, wonderful to tell, tlio Writor, though then in pulm onary de­cline, and prospects for living and use­fulness all blighted, though more than forty years have passed away, still not only lives, but enjoys. comfortahlo health. Tho means used for his restor­ation being ns simple, but not less efli- cacious, than was the clay with which thi! blind mail’s eyes were anointed, followed by washing in tho pool of Si­loam; by which, means he received sight..

Somebody's boy ia said to get intoxi­cated in the neighborhood of Ocean Grove gates f t is whispered that thero are other localities plagued with , the' infernal stuff, hand that ' there.w5U be business for the Grand Jury and'Courts that e-ill not be very funny for those implicated; Blest be those who rally around tlio tem perance banner. -

Signs and wonders, but she greatest wonder of the day is the large and im ­posing sign oo the roof of Barber & H en d erso n 's lum ber shed; m easuring 121 feet long.

I t is a pity that, we could not havo published those article* on the “ Piy- unouth Rock”: and -Long Branch Pier imposition earlier in the season, so as to " forewarn" tbe m any who have be- "so ld” by .taking this route to o r from Oceari Grove, This locality has had no connection w hatever with the Pier ax- cursior boats. Every, .overture snd effort made, to secure' the co-operation of our authorities y/an em phatically de­clined. Wo assumed responsibility, in the case. One of our greatest .dangers, now, as in the future, is tbe incoming tide o f worldliness and sin, which if not restrained, will speedily obliterate the sacred character which the Grovo is seeking to maintain.
