FLORAL SUNDAY At THE GROVE

SON mere advances IaYpfdDly, anu the
promenade is thronged with people, es-
pecially over Saturday and Sunday, when
there is no dearth men, young and old.
All the anusements and fakes along the
beach are in full sway, and we'll patron
| lied. This year the Park has a new and
| popular amusement. 1t consists of a dimin-
utive engine, the smallest in the world,
| and a train of cars. The engine is one
and one-half horse power, and no larger
than a good sized toy, such as is frequent
ly seen in our city streets, usually on its
side, dragged along by a cord. the motive
| power being a child of tender years. The
cars each hold one person, and are about
the size of another toy. the express
wagon. Founder Bradley is a big man at
Asbury. This does not apply to his stat
ure. But never did people realize just
how large Mr.. Bradley was until he took
a ride on the diminutive railway. The
ex-senator was larger than the whole
train, and afforded more amusement than
| even Fitzslmmons in his pony cart.
All the latter part of the week Asbury
was threatened with a northeastern. The
ocean was turbulent, the air damp, heavy
| mists. quite equal to rain in their damage
to curls. feathers and clothes, springing
up in the evening, and the weather was
| positively cold. Friday and Saturday
| evenings those who had heavy ulsters
were glad to button themselves in them
| and take a walk on the beach, while those
| prepared for their summer s%ojourn, with
nothing but clothing of light weight, had
to content themselves with an evening in
doors. Everybody prepared for a rainy
Sunday, but they were agreeably disap-
pointed. The Sabbath burst forth with
! every promise of a clear day, and though
| the ocean was still somewhat rough yes
| terday was considered a record breaker
as far as bathing was concerned. The
| water was warm, and the Asbury Park
| police have come to the conclusion that
4 they will all lave to be good swimmers
| and wear bathing suits in order to enforce
the Sabbath bathing laws. 1t was long
past the noon hour yesterday before the
last of the bathers could be enticed or
forced from the water. The crowd on the
beach was ever blacker han that in the
water.

Yesterday was floral Sunday in Ocean
Grove. and the big auditorium presented
a magnificent appearance The entire
structure was draped in flags and fes-
TONED with evergreen, carnations, roses,
lilies and asters of every variety. It
was the fifteenth anniversary of the
Young Peoples Meeting, led by the Rev.
G.. H. Yatfnan. 1t is that
about seven thousand persons We're pres

meeting, the leader should present a brief
report of that work. Permit me TO say,
fifteen active years OF soul winming py the
sea has resulted in the establishment of
one of the largest. most unique and sue
cessful gospel services to be found any
where in the world.
"a daily service in the summer months
that draws hundreds to its morning hour
of song, prayer, scripture and exhorta-
ton. results of which are to be found In
missionaries, who have gone to the end OF
the earth, preachers, that today are fore
most in extending the kingdom of Christ,
homes where Christ is the abiding guest,
and lives by the ten of thousands. bright
ened and blessed, making a dark world to
feel the sunshine and power of God, by
the renewed and regenrated soul sent

ITO bring this to pass has cost. your
leader sacrifice, toll and oftimes tears
The early years were ones of severe
/ struggle to maintain the success that
came and to keep the spiritual tone and
interest has cost in these later years
months of planning and study on land
and sea in the winter, to get ready for
the July and August days
"Bu in it all, God has been our help,
and His people. young and old, have been
generous beyond telling. with their ma

9Th late president, DR.. Stokes, was ike
a father to me and his sole aim In the
meeting was that of my own--to get
Young people converted and then help
| them to holy living. No other Thought
has ever entered the temple work In all
these years.
Christ Jesus has been the one central
theme. and He, lifted by Psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs has drawn the
multitudes.
