The Both annual canpmeeting at this
popular resort began yesterday. There
was worship in tho morning and choir
rehearsal in the afternoon, but ihe
formal opening Of camp did not take
place until evening. The opening was
decidedly auspicious.
At 7.30 o'clock the tenters assembled
at the tabernacle and during the ensu-
ing half hour songs of praise assembled
from the pretty grove. whose beauty
was enhanced by vari-colored lanterns,
which adorned the exterior OF some of
the tents, and cloudless sky illuniined
by myriad stars. Jacob 7. Clymer Of
Wilmington directed the music and
Miss Nettie Lewis, also Of that city,
furnished accompaniment. A large
choir assisted in making melody. N4
The initial sermon was preached by
the Rev. John Franco OF Wilmington.
In his preface he congratulated the
people on being permitted to- attend
another camEipeetirg and said that. in
memory, he had gone back over the last
80 years and recalled many scenes that
he had witnessed here and many friends
who had gone to their reward. Doubt
less, be remarked, son desire this TO be
a good camp, the most successful ever
held here. To have this desire full.
filed, he informed the gathering, they
must be profoundly interested in the
success of the camp, and to incite them
to success he presented for their con-
sideration and imitation the example
of the Apostle Paul, as recorded in
PHILIPPIANS 8 1914: "This one thing
! do, forgetting those things that are
behind and reaching forth unto those
things which are before, / press toward
the mark for the prize of the high call
ipg Of God in Christ Jesus" He d.
vided bis theme in two parts, consider
ing first the mark and prize to which
the apostle aspired and second tho
means which the apostle employed to
win the prize. He concluded by ex-
horting protesting Christians TO follow
the example OF the Apostle Paul.
The evenings deyotions closed with
a consecration service, during which
feryent prayers were offered by the
