Brandywine Summit Camp Ground,
Aug. This tented village is settling
down 10 the routine Of camp life and Is
per~adcd by an air Of contentment and
peace. Here among the first temples the
people are satisfied for at least a time 70
live a life of simple worship.
The grove Is ideally situated and well
laid cut The visitor first secs the woods,
and then sudden curve In the rocky
road reveals the village OF cottages With
the exception of the preachers tent, in
the rear of the tabernacle. the cottages
are one-story, but vary as to size. And
II is surprising how dainty and attractive
they are and how comfortably a family
can live in these limited quarters. Most
Of them have porchcs in front Of suff-
cient size to accommodate n couple of
rockers. 1t is noticed that the names Of
the occupants are not placed upon the
tents. as is customary at down State
camps.
Weather Was Cold.
Yesterday was decidedly a cool day At
Brandywine Summit. The day was 'part-
ly cloudy to fair" as the weather man
had predicted. and occasionally few
out of the north about $50 o'clock and
heavy wraps were not only acceptable,
but a positive necessity. At about $50
o'clock a thermometer registered Ga de-
grees.
The first sermon Of the camp was
preached by Presiding Elder Robert

that the sermon was a mastery one.

ing and unique sermon. Ills topic wal

that the parts should be well-balanced
He drew comparisons by analogy and 81

The first young peoples meeting begaI
at $50 O'Clock in charge of the Rev. As
bury Burke. There was a song service fo
twenty-five minutes and then Mr.. Burk
gave chatty talk. outlining the worl
he hoped TO accomplish. There are not 81
many young people i'm camp as I'm forme

social side of camp life.
An interesting feature is the childreni
meetings. They are held at 1. 80 p. M bl

grown ups as well as the tots It is her
that a very sweet side of child nature 4
