BRANpYwIEE SUMMIT CAMP, Aug.
7.--There were not many visitors in
camp to-day but all the ser vices were
well attended by the tenters.
The $50 o'clock worship, conducted
by Lewis Fox, was unusally largely at
tended for an early meeting.
The $50 o'clock prayer and expert
ence meeting, in charge of the Rev. j.
o. Sypherd, was one of the most pleas
ant services of the kind ever held here
and continued until the hour for
preaching.
There was preaching at 10 o'clock by |
the Rev. George Allcorn, q member OF |
the Philadelphia Conference and pastor
at Kennett Square. His subject was
"'rhe Valley of Trouble and Christ the
Door of Hope" and his text was:
Hosea II, Is: And will give her her
vineyards from thence, and the valley
of Achor for door of hope, and she
shall sing there, as in the days of her
youth, and as in the day when she came
up out of the land of Egypt" The ser
mon was one OF The most delightful ever
heard on the grounds and was sur
prise to everybody. 1t was wonderfully
pathetic and wrought the congregation
up to high pitch.
At the conclusion Of the disco urse the
Rev. j. b. Quigg delivered an exhorta-
tion of remarkable power.
BRANpYwINE SUMMIT CAMP, Aug. Z.
The habit Of bringing dogs to camp,
which has been permitted for years, has
assumed such gigantic proportions that
| it has become nuisance and at last the
board of trustees has determined to put
a stop TO it. Superintendent Grubb says
there are at least 3S CANNES here.
Almost every kind of breed, from the
"board yard" up, is represented. The
beasts roam all over the grounds and,
not always being in sweet humor,
they sometimes indulge in "scrapping."
They delight in romping in the straw
and take special pleasure in thrusting
their noses in the auditorium and
chasing under the benches. Occasionally
they disturb worship by yelping, snarl.
ing and barking. To-day the trustees
resolved that the brutes must either be
sent home or be tied in tents. This
official action will doubtless displease
some of the tenters, but Notwithstanding
the camp officers will insist on obedience.
An edict was issued this afternoon for
the removal of all the stables located
along the north and west boundaries of
the grove, which order is to take effect
previous to June 18th next. II is pro-
posed to group all the private stables,
to make them uniform in styleof archi-
lecture, to whitewash them and to make
their exterior appearance as attractive
as possible, 1t is also intended to erect u
club stable at the head of the grounds.
The trustees have appointed committee
to obtain plans for the club stable and
to select location for the private stables.
The latter are to be removed from the
places stated for the purpose OF making
an avenue back of ST. Paul's avenue
and west of the circle. The space thus
. secured, it is expected, will permit oil
the erection of 90 tents. Owing to in
, sufficient room all the people who ap'
piled for tents this season could not be
accommodated.
