one of the unique features Of the camp
is the fact that although the services are
under AD.thodist Episcopal government
almost every denomination is represented
at the meetings. There are many camps
which are strictly denominatonai and
attended only by people who cling to the
peculiar doctrines of their religious or
ganizaton. But Bmndywino is on "a
broader base than that. One off the min
listers said: I'VE preach the gospel and
are as g'ad to see all people regardless
of their church rciations. Among the wor-
shippers yesterday were men and women
OF many denominations including Baptist.
Presbyterian, Episcopal, Lutheran, Dutch
Reformed, several Roman Catholics and
of course many Methodists. Just which
sect enjoys the service most Il would be
impossible to say. AT any rate there have
been no complaints from anyone thus far.
The services were largely attended yes

and helpful.
The children's meeting was also well
attended. Mr.. vandever is using the black

than a mere verbal lesson.
Mrs. Grace Wiser Davis delivered IN,
last talk of the day. AT one time in hei
life Mrs Davis was a rabd sceptic. Sh'
beteved chat there was God but de
nlcd the truth of the Bible. She was con
vcrtcd while hearing religious lectur
by the Rev. DR.. Willis. A short time late
she commenced her evangelisuc labor
and has done a great work i'm the twenty
one years of her efforts. Mrs. Davis spok
