Third Day Of camp.

BRANDYwINE SUMMIT, Aug. D.-Thi.
| was an unusually quiet day at camp
| There was 20 religious excltelnent or moi
even breeze to create stir In the trees
| overhead.
| The heat was almost unbearable In the
morning but with the afternoon came
fresh air and while tho atmosphere was
cool 1t had Its unplcasantness. Every
avenue has Its inch of dust and this was
| blown In clouds about the grounds much
to the discomfort of the campers. Only a
shower will settle tho dust and for ii
everybody is praying
| The news OF the elcctrocution of W. H.
| Steward fell like a pail on the villagers. =
| Mr.. Steward was known by everybody
and his death caused almost as much sor-
row among the worshippers as 1t did
around tho family circle. Ministers ut
the services made reference to 1t and from
everybody could DO heard expressions of
| sympathy.
Tomorrow is big Thursday and tenters
have arranged to entertain their friends.
The Wilmington Bicycle Club was
scheduled to take run to camp tonight,
but on account of the death Of William
Steward the run was called off.

The feature of the day was the Wo-
mans Foreign Missionary meeting held
this afternoon. The address was made by
Mrs George +. Hopkins, who spent seven
years in India as a practicing physician.
II was the finest missionary talk ever
heard ON the comD grounds
Her address was mainly on her work
among the low class people of that coun-
try and while she unfolded tho real con-
ultiOn of lndih's poor not even the rustic
of a fan could be heard in the tabernacle,
which was filled to it's utmost capacity.
Unlike many missionaries she did not
tell of the large number Of converts made,
but spoke of the difficulties under which
the work Is performed. Her experience
showed it to be full of disappontments,
yet she stuck to it until forced to leave the
country on account Of her failing health
During her address she exhibited num-
Der of Indian curiosites. At the conclu.
sion of her speech her husband sang two
Hindoo songs. A collection was taken for
the benefit of foreign missionaries, MEM
he's of the society passing around the bas.
kets.

ing.
Tomorrow afternoon the meeting will
be of a temperance character. Miss Ella
Boole Of New York, will BIO the speaker
