Brandywine Summit Camp, Aug. T.
Black, lowering clouds and dreary
downpour of rain, accompanied by the
dismal bowling of an almost Wintry
wind. greeted Summit camp cottagers
on arising yesterday morning. Teyulets
Of black, muddy water trickled down
the thoroughfares. making walking al
most impossible. Shortly after the
breakfast bell, however, riffs appeared
in the sombre clouds, the
rain abated in a measure, and the en-
thusiasic services which followed put
to rout all thought Of a dark, cheer
less day. The religious spirit is para
mount here, and cannot be quenched
by such a trihing thing as a rain
storm.
James Cook. the boy evangelist, con-
| Quoted the prayer meeting and love
feast in the morning, which service was
characterized by intense enthusiasm,
ending in a good, old-ashiOned rally.
Taking the weather into considera-
tiOn, the temperance meetings were
! highly successful, and the attendance
was surprising. The tabernacle was
enclosed by curtains. and while a
drenching rain beat without, inside
was al comfort and cheerfulness

The game of baseball which was Ia

Many of the cottagers have minia

pearance of the grounds.
