Splendid Exercites Sunday and Monday
speakers and Their Subjects.

EAST FAIRFIELD, July (SpeciaD -
Each day presents some new and interest
ing feature. On Saturday afternoon, a
large company, old and young, met under
the apple trees and listened with great in
terest to Rev. W. 2. Chapman as he read
one of his stories entitled, THE Hero of
| Prudence Island" Saturday evening was
spent in devotional service. 1t was an
hour that will be long remembered because
/, of its spiritual blessing.
Sunday was proclaimed day of rest and
worship. In spite of the heat from which
many in other localities suffered. it was I'M
usually cool and comfortable. The morn
| ing devotional hour was under the leader
| ship of Rev. I. B. Mower of South Ber-
wick. At half past ten o'clock, Rev. Har-
Ian Page Beech of Springfield, Mass,
delivered a very impressive and instructive
adore S, upon EMISSION Work in China"
This address was made more effective be-
cause it was the outcome of an actual
experience in this work.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Rev. G.
| II. Spsulding delivered the annual encamp-
ment sermon. A very large audience as
sembled, composed not only of the regular
members of the encampment, but also
many from the surrounding neighborhood.
1t was an address of thrilling interest, the
speaker taking for his theme "The Re
sources of Youth for Christ" Old and
young were stimulated to better living.
| In the evening a Y. 2. S. G. f. meeting
was held in the tent, led by Supervisor
| Hinckley. This was meeting of deep in
terest and of rich blessing. A severe wind
storm cut short the exercises, but the meet
ing was continued in Christian Endeavor
cottage. 1t seemed fitting that this first re-
| ligious service should be conducted under
thu Sc circumstances, and several young peo-
| pie present decided here to lead a Christian
! life. 1t was meeting never to be forgot
ten by many.
Monday morning the regular work of the
encampment was again taken up. Mr.. W.
| II. Hall led the morning devotional hour,
and after service of prayer and song he
introduced Mr.. Chiba, who appeared in his
native costume (Japanese) and delivered
an interesting address.
At 10 o'clock Rev |. B. Mower renewed
the delightful acquaintance of last year, as
he gave one of his interesting talks on
corals, illustrating with fac collection.
! The boys gladly welcome Mr.. Mower, re-
memb5ring his work one year ago. Mr..
| Chas. Chapman followed in the last of his
series of talks to the boys on Philately.
These addresses of Mr.. Chipman's will
awaken a more intelligent interest in stamp
| gathering than many of these boys have
| hitherto had. Rev. II. Z. Beech continued
his personal "reminiscences Of life IN China,
and made the boys feel grateful for birth
and home life in America.
| Physical Instructor G. L. Meylan con-
: tinued his profitable talks to the boys on
1.-The Human Body using to illustrate his
teaching, the body of a cat which had been
! specially prepared for this purpose. This
! instruction had been made decidedly real
isttc.
