BRANDYwINE SUMMIT CAMP GROUND,
August l3 Yesterday was the biggest day
camp has seen since Sunday. 1t was
"Home Missionary Day." and everything
combined to make 1t u great one, Iho
weather was perfect and as result tho
visitors numbered in the hundreds.
Tho exercises OF tho aay began with tho
usual morning prayer service at $50
O'Clock which was conducted by Mr.. Max.
we'll Lucas Alrich had charge Of the S.3O
o'clock prayer meeting.
Rev. John d. G. Hanna ofUnion Church,
Wilmington preached the morning SER
mon. His text was from Corinthians 10,
20: And nowis Christ risen from the dead
and become tho first fruits OF them that
slept" Among some things said by MIR.
Hanna were that when the shafts OF sar.
casm are directed against tho doctrines OF
the resurrection they are repelled with
strong mind and spirit. Even tho most
secular and profane writer's recognize the
doctrine of the revelation, In whatever
part Of Inc Bible it Is found 1t u fully set
forth. 1t is found in the Old Testament,
but the New Testament Is bristling with
it,
Mr.. Hanna said that the docsrineis
somewhat neglected in the churc hos and
somehow it is rolegated to Easter morn.
ing. Tho doctrine of tho resurrection did
not come from, and cannot bc overturned
by ihe reasoning Of man:
Mr. Hanna made several flno arguments
in favor Of the resurrection. 1t Is especial
ly attacked By scientists, who claim That
tho body cannot again DO restored as 1t Is
against the laws Of nature.
"Who framed tho laws of natures'
asked the preacher. He then told that the
oak grow from tho small acorn, but the
scientist can't t explain the philosophy OF 1t.
1t is the same way with spear Of grass and
tho glory of the sun. The scientist can't
explain tho law Of their growth. God,
with motion of His hand, could sweep
the laws of nature and tho scientists laws
of matter aside.
He closed with an account of tho glories
of tho resurrection day, whom every Chris.
ton hoped to be restored in II spiritual
body. His description of the crucidxion
was so vivid that many in tho congroga.
tian were moved to tears. The scene was
rendered more affecting by Mrs. Mary Gee
and Miss May Taylor singing in That
City"
The I. 80 o'clock holiness meeting and
the ch.ldren's service in tho auditorium at
the same hour were both interesting.
The afternoon exercises wcre devoted to
Homo Missions, and tho audience was q
vice to great extent. Miss May Taylor.
Mrs. Mary Gee and Mary G. Morrow sang
n trio and Misj Morrow o solo. Little
Miss Nettie Baynard recitcd Our ,Boys
anl Girls.o They also sang Shining For
Jesus" Miss Catharinc Hastings read q
paper on ''rhe Benefit Of Supply Work.
Miss Josephine Corbin Of the Deaconess
Home. Philadelphia, spoke on mission
labor, touching on the need of supply work
there is the greatest need on the frontier,
'"ralk about a deaconess sacrificing"
said Miss COrbin, don't mention their
sacrifice when compared with that OF the
ministers of tho frontier" Sho was glad
the prejudice against the work was disap-
pearing. In speaking of the mission in
the South she said it was thrilling,
Sho then told of tho house TO house can
vass in Philadelphia. The nursing, fresh
air and Christmas work were also explain
cd, and startling stories Of some of those to
whom the deaconesses administer were
told.
Miss Corbin ended her fine talk by max.
ing an excellent plea for the people to aid
the mission cause in Wilmington col
lection was taken for homo missions.
Miss AnndT. Lincoln gave few ideas
concerning home missions on the Pacific
Slope. The information was CLEANED on
Miss Lincoln's recent visit to the Christian
Endeavor Convention at San Francisco
Tho interdenominatlona spirit pervaded
the evening preaching service. Rev. O.
G Buddington Of Bethany Baptist Church.
Wilmington, was the speaker and his au-
dience was II large ono. His tcxt was
from Hebrews, 8, part Of verse 27 Once
to de- but after that the Judgment His
subject was "Tho Judgment" Mr. Bud
6ington showed the greatness of death,
and also the greatness of the Judgment by
description, by experience, and tho results
from it. He also proved tho absolute cer-
tainty OF death and the judgment.
IN his closing point he assorted that just
as absolute as Is tho certainly OF death
and Judgment so is the certainty that it is
but once. II there Is one Judgment and
only one, then there Is but one trial, and
that is final. If there Is but one trial. and
one sentence there can be no change.
Mr.. Buddington exhortod as to the part
ing scenes of the Judgment day, and ho
said that i'll parting in this world we arc
relieved by tho fact that We will meet
again.
Although the Baptist divine had but a
short time to prepare his sermon it was
al excellent one.
