The seventh days services of the four
teenth annual session of the Ocean Grove
Sunday School and Chautauqua Assembly
were made especially interesting and note

venerable and beloved master mind, Rev.
DR.. Elwood H. Stokes, who had been
president of tine Ocean Grove Camp Meet

places of worship were well attended, and

congregation became so wrought up that
the entire assemblage began a great
clapping Of the hands. while one or two
others 50 far forgot themselves as to
send up a mighty cheer.
At this juncture Mr.. Yatman jumped
to his feet and rehuked the congregation
for this lack of observance of the rules
of the grounds that no applause should
