Christian EAdeavor Day.
Special Correspondence EvREIkG journal.
BRANDYwINE SUMMIT, August -
More water fell yesterday than was
agreeable, as SO much rain already has
made camp life miserable. Yesterday was
Christian Endeavor day in camp, and
large hack loads Of Wilmington folks
came out to spend the day, but not half
as many as were expected. Dr. George
Cummings Of the Philadelphia Confer
ence preached at 10 a. m. He used oil
his text / Peter l. SO AS usual, many
listened to this eloquent speaker,
who breaches on the camp grounds
every year. As Rev. Vaughn
s. Collins, was unable to attend the
children's meeting, Rev. j. Il. Bryan of
Newport, took charge. Song service at
2 40 p. m was led by j. r. King. At
3 p. m. after scriptural reading, prayer
and singing, Rev. e. L. Barrett made an
Introductory address and introduced
Rev. ]. T. Kerr, president OF the New
Jersey Christian EndeRvor State Union
who spoke on the subject Failure in
Duty, Reasons and Remedies" Mr..
Kerr is a thorough Christian and
told the audience OF many
wrong things which are done
thoughtlessly, and remedy for them.
He is q very interesting speaker. At
6.15 q song service was held by ]. X.
King; a conservation ser vice was held at
= 80, and, as one gentleman remarked. IL
WAS nearer a Methodist meeting than
Christian Endeavor one. DR.. Green adj
dressed the audience upon "Consecra-
tion" at the evening service. He is q
very fine speaker, and so interesting was
his sermon that many were surprised
to learn thai he had preached forty
minutes. The Christian Endeavor meet
ing was grand success in spite of the
weather.
DR.. Caldwell will preach tomorrow
lbig Sunday, at 10 a. M; Rev. DR..
Spence at 3 p. M, and Rev. J. e. Bryan
at 7. As p. m.
Bishop Thoburn will preach next
Tuesday evening and Wednesday morn
ing. The bishop is fresh from the mis-
sionary fields of India and no doubt
many interesting things can be learned
in regards TO missions by hearing him.

best looking man on the emp grounds
that Poinsett Is here and SO Is his blazer

and seeing the horse trough floating
around there, got In and upset
themselves getting good wetting |
that Alexander Watson OF Washington
will be in camp Sunday that the asso-

urn; that w. ~ Mccormick will be out
