Tb owners of luterlakeu having offered to preaeiit U) tba county til bridge extending from North Asbury Park to luterlaken, Invited tb amir Board to lusot lb bridge on Haturday last, at teu o'clock, at which time fifteen member of tb Hoard aawmihh! on tb bridge and 'carefully inspected it After a drive through tba beautiful wooded grounds anil a careful inscllon of the cottages that are now being erected, tbe Board decided to bold its oMrlal meeting III tbe parlors of the Hathaway House, where tbey unanimously passed a resolution to accept tb bridge, and appointed a committee to tak charge of It After adjournment the Hoard, together wltb many others, were Invited to a luncheon by tbe owner of Iuterlaken. About thirty sat down to this table. After short iecbes by Messrs. Kiduey E.

Morse and Edward Dudley, welcoming their guest to Interlaken, numerous replies were mad by tbe Director and other, mem tiers of tb Board, congratulating them on tbeir poawaslng such a lovely and romantic spot on tbs Jersey coast, and tb artistio maimer In which they are developing it We -are happy to say that the contract for the building of tbe station has been awarded to B. W. Klrkbride, a citizen of Asbury Park, who ba already commenced wjrk. of tba church baa declared that through preaching shall tba word ba scattered. Wa do not deprecate tbe other agencies that accomplish tha work wa bless Uod tor tha inspired men through whom wa can praise Uod In song, Paul was not only a preacher, but ba preached to the wopl as ba found tbew; to tne wise ba waa wise, to the simple, simple; ba was faithful and earnest and resolute; ba was a magnificent success ss a preacher of the gospel.

Obi that tbe Lord would perpetuate such a race of preachers. Wa preach Christ crucified I This made tbe boly prophesies actual history. It was Paul's only thfine before tba cultured or tbe Ignorant; bs endeavored to draw all men unto bim and bs preached Christ crucified. This Is the great oeutral truth of all truths; from It every other truth radiate. A we look upon Christ on the tree, we wonder why It is; we know why tba thieves should have been crucified, but why Christ! Why, for our sins, not any of bis own, for be was without sin, There Is nothing like the shadow of tba Cross that can sbow men their true condition.

see the effect of sin all around us, but lift your thoughts to Calvary, It was through our sins that Ha was crucified. This great central truth reveals to us tha justice of God and when I think of the Christ crucified, I think of tba Inflexibility of God's law; tbey wbosin must die, and unless Christ bad died we must have suffered the penalty of sin. Tbe coming of Christ proved a stumbling block to the Jews. Tbey expected a Messiah, but not such a Messiah as came. When be bad lived bis brief life tbey could not accept bim a their king hence the doctrine of Christ crucified was a stumbling block to them.

But I am glad there was a class who could and did receive Him. Tbe preaching of this gospel Is tbe power of God. Bishop Taylor once said it was an easy thing to become a Christian. There were but two thin gs to da Submit to God and accept of Christ God will take tbe mountain of your trans gression and burl it Into the ocean of His forgetful nets. Ob this power to save from ln; and because it is a provision of God it is a wise provision.

I am glad it will save us from the dominion of sin. When we bear the experiences of others wa see that they all anchor at the Cross. It Is a glorious thing when we are saved in all completeness. The gospel accepted becomes a power to complete salvation. The power nf God enables us to suffer for Hlnv Turning to the ministers on tbe platform, the speaker said: "Brethren, what a privilege it is to us that we are permitted to preach this gospel of Christ crucified to the people." The Jews are not all dead there are many of us to-day to whom this truth is presented; to you who stumble over it It seems too much for you to accept this simple faith.

But in this simple faltb is the salvation of man. Accept and beUeve it EVENING BEHVICE. A Uttle smooth-faced man made the opening prayer, after the manner of Brother Watklnsah. Then 8,000 persons pulled their wraps closer and settled down for the reception of the sermon by the Rev. W.

P. George, D. of the Newark Conference. His text was from Bt John 7:16 and 17 "My doctrine is not mine but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of tbe doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself." "The unbelief which condemn and the fajtb which saves are more of tha heart than the said the preacher.

It Is the loyalty or disloyalty to God which condemns or saves. If a man permits his will to be constantly overcome by temptation he will believe In fatalism; a man who resists temptation will believe in the divine will. It is the heart that rules the Intellect Backsliders do not believe the Bible. The great object in the reception of truth Is the resisting will The will of man is one thing in man with which the om nlpotence of God can not interfere. "Christ's delight in doing God's wUl is our model.

When you have that wUl you are satisfied as Christ was. Our bope for the fu ture is In the success of camp meetings and churches. The hope of the nation is in con version. We must purify the heart Get religion in your heart and you'll get it in your head afterward. "The missionary enterprise of the church Is the cause of its great success in these times.

We have been doing missionary work and adding more chapters to the Acts of the Apostles. You say, 'convince me of the truth of Christianity and I'll do It' I an swer, do It first and then you'U be convinced, One act of charity will teach you more than a thousand sermons. "The converted man cannot explain his change of heart, but he knows that his redeemer liveth. He cannot unravel the mysteries of life and death, but he does know that he Is a child of God and that he shall see him as he is." The preacher concluded with an exhortation, followed by a hymn by the Rev. J.

The Froeaadlni of Yesterday la the Various MMlmcA llast of in brmi lb Three Important Ivtalon. Tb morning sermon wa prvacbwl by Dr. Hanlon yesterday, and though Monday 1 usually a dull day. even in camp nieetlng, tba Auditorium waa filled with Interested llsten-r. Tba arvio waa opened with toug and tba loading In prayer by Dr.

Senior, of London. Dr. Hanlon took for bli text tb lath vere of tba 8th chapter of Bt John. "I am tba light of the world ba that followeth ma ball uot walk lu darkuass, but aliall bava tba light of Ufa." 1 one asked on of the moat learned ministers In Uia church to glva ma a deflultion of Ufa. Ha aatd it waa a bard thing to do, but finally aald: "Ita tba agent of nature, tba medium of natura, that through which wa see." Among tba kinds of light with which wa bava to do bora is tha physical Ufa.

Wa coma to a state hereafter where there is no need for this light. I am Inclined to thiuk that after our ayes does In death, wa shall never again see this Ught of tha sun, It is but a fort of scaffolding to something better. And as I believe that at one time there was a beginning of this material world, there is to be an ending to it Thus another light the light of reason. I am not sure that what we call the Ught of reason is going to endure. I belleYe that It Is a temporary thing.

There ootnes a time In our destiny when this light shall give way and we shall see through another Ught face to face; the light of reason never see face to face, but through a long, many-colored glass. One of the biggest devils In the world la the pride of human Intellect, it is bard to drive this out. Don't lay too much stress on reason; don't deify the intellect, though we cant get along without It, it is but a flickering lamp. There are not many smart people In the world, thank God. Bless the sinners of this audience.

He that knowethhe most of divine things bare is going to carry the greatest knowledge on tb other aide. Tha definition of the right life here Is the assurance of a spiritual life with God. Now the same idea of Ught is carried out in tba religious world; It gives certainty and assurance. In tha realm of religion I do not always guage peopje by the amount of joy they exhibit. The man who Is sick at sea knows just as well where be is as the man who is joyful; but he doesn't feel very jubilant We should use common sense In this thing; It is a wonderful thing and the most Important thing to have except religion.

On the question of religious asm ranee we can all stand on the same plane; we may have the blessed assurance whether we Uve in aa ice-bouse or a hot-bouse. The following of Christ.ln order to get this light of the life is a self-denying obedience to Christ tha backbone of tba Christian religion Is the self-denying obedience to Christ The doctor then spoke of Bishop Taylor's great work in Africa, and said: "I have never found the was working for Christ complain of the leanness of soul; a man that gives his life to God, a Bishop Taylor does, doesnt have any time to complain of the darkness of life. Wa don't need a great many Bishop Taylors; it Deeded but one Grant to put down the rebellion, but it took millions of privates. The moat of the work that Christ wants done here Is for the privates to da Will you do Itf Tour answer is at your door. My brother and sister, you don't need to hallelujah to much as you do to take up your cross.

You say there Is a great difference between religion years ago and now; then you served God rem day to night, and from night to day. Why dont you do it now! Oh I you have made money and are content to be a trustee-to serve God by proxy. You want Christian service, and if you will make up your mind to take up some cross for Christ's sake, seek some brother out and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ save him. There is only one Ocean Grove, but there is danger of our getting religious dyspepsia even here. There is feast after feast in the Temple, Auditorium and Tabernacle; and unless we go to work for Christ we are going away from here worse than when we came.

You have got to fight self right along; self is the biggest devil I have to fight; self-abnegation Is necessary all the way through. We must put aside all thought of self and work, work, work for the saving of souls and the glory of our Lord. IN THE AFTERNOON. Rev. E.

Richardson, pastor of the Centenary Church, Camden, N. preached the sermon at three o'clock before a good sized audience; he took for his text part of the 23rd verse Of the 1st chapter of Corin- thans reading, "But we preach Christ crucified." There is no impossible gulf this side of tbe grave that prevents you from en tering into divine elory. The apostle placed tne material and spirit MR. JULIAN RALPH WRITES A LETTER TO THE PRESS. II Tells of hi Voyage anil (live hi Im-prasalon of IhaOoean-Not Prepoauiaai la ll Favor, and Unkindly Call It a "Oraat Big Bora." Bhiohtun, Knolani, August 11.

I hav aeeii the two greatest watering place In the world. Tbey are tb ocean, which is th father of all summer renort, and tbe place I now write from. Tba ocean dls- appointeJ me aa summer resort To ba sura I had often been upon It in croaawiaa journeys, but as I wa always certain to catch occasional glliiiui of land, I never realized what tbe thing really wa, though I upioed I did. But when I cam to cross over to England on tbe Alaska, of tb Gulon line, tbe other day, I Hattoml myself that I found out all tber is to this greatuat and moat frequented of all tbe salt water resort. After this I shall never see a ship without remembering my experience.

It will not be difficult to do tills for all there is to remember Is a long drawn out spell of tbe most utter monotony and tedlouiuiea that ever a man fell victim to. Day after day, for eight days that seemed so many weeks, the mammoth ship ploughed steadily on amid ber miserable surroundings of sea and sky, varied only three times be tween America and England. The first time waswbentwo sharks kept company for half an hour, the second time wa when we faintly spied a sailing ship, and the third most interesting of all, was when we passed close beside a beautiful Iron steamer whose engines bad broken down In mid-ocean. Unfortunately, she signalled us that she needed no assistance, so we passed on aad left ber rolling and pitching in the trough of the sea. I cannot give you a better idea of tbe state of mind we were all reduced to than by saying that there was not a man or woman on tbe Alaska who would not have given ten dollars to have stopped an hour and either gone aboard that steamer or had ber people board ours.

It would bave been worth a great deal more than that to all of us. We did not have a smooth hour from shore to shore. At first we enjoyed a gale, and then we followed Ip the wake of what must bave been a terrible storm. I kept well throughout, and If tbe other had done so I might hav bad a different account to give of an ocean voyage. But, as it was, what I shall always tbluk of is tbe dally spectacle of 700 souls, 680 of whom were in absolute and unbroken misery all the time.

Some never left tbeir berths, the majority missed half their meals. The womeu, who were not iU abed, crawled to their steamer chairs on deck every morning and did not dare to move until tbey crawled back at night In tbe interval tbe deck stewards brought them beef broth and tea. Tbey all talked of their illness aud discussed its symptoms and tbey all dwelt on tbeir dread of having to cross again in order to get home. Half a dozen old travellers stuck to the smoke room and gambled and drank from daylight until midnight. The others who were weU aud did not gamble drank with snuoying frequency, there being nothing else to da There was less sickness among tbe steerage folk and as they had a genuine land like barroom on their deck they formed a constant procession to and from it with glasses and bottles and kept a bartender and a cask of gin both on tbe move without cessation except between midnight and daylight There was much tbat was interesting and pretty on the voyage, though one hour of it would bave done as well as eight days.

For instance, tbe packing of nearly three hundred men and women in a close huddle on the sunny side of the deck in steamer chairs and wrapped up in rugs, ww as pretty a sight as one could wish. To tell the truth, its beauty was more than tempered by the certain knowledge that all the people thus disposed were In a state of semi-lethargy and were talking of nothing in the wide world but seasickness. A large portion could not talk at all. Tbey only groaned as tbeir share of whatever dialogue they took part lu. The scenes on entertainment nights hen a band of Irish vocalists, headed by Ludwig, the tenor of the deceased American opera troupe, bad the bad taste to sing Irish rebel songs, was pretty, because the dining saloon was a beautiful room and one forgot all about the eternal sea and the still greater waste of sky while in there.

As we neared Ireland some of tbe ladies began to get their sea legs (if ladies have legs), and a sailor boy who could play tbe concertina was called up and paid to play waltzes to which tbe young girls and men danced for hours at a time in that strange and mysterious twilight which they enjoy in Europe and which we Americans know nothing at all about So much for the ocean, greatest of all resorts. It has been sung by poets, but they were all landsmen whose ballads were based on such views of the great diluted monster as one gets from the beach at Asbury Park. It has been praised by sailors, but they are a superstitious lot and do not dare to tell the trut i about It. I ask no odds of it. I was paid cross It instead having to pay.

I can afford to speak tbe truth which is that it is a great big nuisance and bore. Julian Ralph. lug pier yesterday afternoon.

And the Visiter to the Twin Cities Gas at tbe raaclnatlng Sight. Comparatively few ware found to brave tbe heavy winds at the beach yesterday after noon, but those that did so saw tb heaviest and most beautiful surf that has thundered on our coast this Mason. Tbe water wa dashing high over the end of the fishing pier and wa scattering it spray over the board walk. Tbe tremendous force of tbe water seemed to be undermininlng tbe new portion of the board walk at tbe foot of Sixth avenue. Flood tide was reached at seven o'clock, at which time tbe waves was breaking with terrific power.

Bathiag was an Impossibility during tbe entire afternoon, danger being heightened by tbe timber and logs that were brought in by the tide. The scene In the evening was an animated and lnterwting.one. There were a great many people out, and the pier was a wonderful source of attraction. Tbe curious tight-seers, many of whom had never beheld the ocean except in a tranquil mood, looked and exclaimed, and could hardly see enough. Tbe attractions were Increased by the floating wreckage from up the coast, which strewed the beach, and thumped tbe pier with considerable force.

Advices from Long Branch state that the waves there were breaking as far out as the eye could reach. The vessels of the Iron Steamboat Company were unable to bind then- passengers and were compelled to go to Sandy Hook, and transfer tbe passengers thence by'rall. THE TREACHEROUS CATSPAW. Bow the Wave Catch the Napping Pll- grlms Along the Sea, There was much fun yesterday at tbe Ross Pavilion, a cut of which was given in The Daily Press yesterday morning. The crowd on the beach waa of good size all day and early evening and sunset saw no changes In the appearance of the beach.

There were about the same number of people clamoring for pop-corn, lolling on the beach or gazing abstractedly from the paviUon on the panorama about them. But in tbe afternoon, when many persons were enjoying a siesta on tbe sands, the fun began. The first uproar was created by a wave which caught a young couple napping in a sand pit partially under the paviliop. Tbe wave filled the hole and the couple got wet The young woman was a blonde and wore a becoming white flannel suit It was thorough ly drenched and it seems the young fellow left her to bustle for herself when the wave came swashing about them. Hence she gave him a piece of her mind which highly edified tbe mirthful spectators.

Next in order was the appearance, but a few minutes later, of a man who had apparently been sitting in a tub of water or else bad fallen into a shallow stream. His trousers were wet and they stuck to his fleeting limbs more closely than a bro The laughter of the multitude drowned the swash of tbe waves. The poor fellow carried along with bim several pecks of sand which closely adhered to his wet closing. He, too, had a comrade in 'distress, butihls masculine friend escaped with but little damage. The common practice of the unwary is to build little sand barriers near tbe surf, and then sitting in the hollow thus formed go to sleep, or sink into a reverie.

Silently the old ocean reaches up and then retreats. Another time his long finger is extended, the barrier swept away, the hollow flllled, and the inmates drenched. And with what mirthful spirit the old sea seems to do It all, too, Steinbach Bros, are closing out several of then lines of fine goods at cut prices, to make room for fall Unas now arriving.
