BRAEDYwIEE SUMMIT. Aug 10-"If
this fair weather continues 70. morrow, "
remarked Superintendent 9 w Vande-
grift this morning. I'VE will have the
greatest multitude Of visitors that ever
packed into the grove here on Big
Sunday"
And II Is generally beloved that
hundreds Of country people will not even
wait to see how the weather Is going TO
deal out smiles or frowns, but will pack
up early in the morning and set out
before sunrise for the camp grounds
During big Sunday" ia 1898 when
Rev. e. l. Hubbard was preacher In
charge. there we're fully 6 600 people on
the grounds 2 600 Of whom were there
vixen the first bell rang out clearly for
morning services During that day
there were 500 vehicles on the ground,
400 Of which were provided for by the
canp-mseting association. And 10 NOR.
rows crowd will fully equal this
number.

Yesterdays Oppressive Heat
Was effective In preventing a
large attendance upon the camp meeting
exercises. Miss Boyd conducted the 8 80
mseting, and there were fewer worship
perG there than at any time during the
woods here than In any part Of lower Penn
rylvAniA or Delaware, and while the ther
monster registered a shade above 80 dc
gress about mid day. the cool Eoil and
towering trsss we're far dlffIeat from the
sun baked sidewalks and streets Of
Wilmington People who remained in
their tents with light clothing on

Yesterdays first sermon was BY Rev
J. o Syphsrd His topic WAS the
security and Perpstuity Of the church
Bis text was: 81 lay In Zion for a foun-
dation a stone, q tried stone; precious
corner atone for a sure foundation 4"
lsAsah xviii, 10 The argument OF the
preacher was based upon the thought
tnAt the security OF the church de-
psnds upon It's foundation. and It's
p,rpstulty upon the fact that the
foundations have been tried and proved
to be sure Hsrod tried them Whsp he
attempted to destroy the church By
killing the babes Of Bethlehem This
devil tried them In the temptation Of
Christ The Romans attempted It whom
they prosecuted aud exlled the early
Christians
This perpstuity OF the church Is assured
by the knowledge and experience Of
n aukind; by the precious memories
tIansmittsd by the father to their
cb' dren; by the promises Of Gsd that
have bssn verified Ia human expsrisros
wLlsh have proven that ths only founda
tion Is that laid in Jesus Christ, the
founder and guardian Of the church
Of God
Yssterday's Second Sermon

yodag New Castle minister, Vaughan 8

foundations. A vary quiet, thoughtful
discouras, which was bighly commended
by those who beard it.
The young peoples prayer meeting was
conducted by Rev. w. g Koons, As
bubstitute for Rev. J. D O Hanna, who

particularly enjoyable. The new Oh rases
