Brandywine Summit Camp Ground.
Pa, Aug. IA food Of enthusiasm is
sweeping over the campmeeting and is
Increasing at every meeting. All the
services are largely attended and the
singing under the leadership OF Mrs.
Benson is fervent and hearty and far
mers a mile from the grounds say that
they can hear 1t and recognize familiar
melodies.
Dr. Adams continues TO emphasize
the fact that the tenters should not
forget the family worship In the morn
ling. The bell is rung promptly az z
O'Clock as a signal that the time for the
reading OF the family Bible and family
prayer has come. There are few to be
seen moving around the grounds at
that hour
one OF the unique features OF this
camp is the old hymns that are sung.
The melodies that stirred the hearts Of
the Christian fathers of fifty and sixty
years ago are being revived. Tears
start from the eyes Of many aged ones
as some old battle hymn that has al
most been lost in oblivion Is revived.
This is just a glorious old time, full
LOT glory, halleluiah campmeeting,
said one Of the veterans last night.
