EXPLODING LAMP CAUSES EXCITEMENT

ference regarding the welfare Of others.
Man is Gods custodian and he must
do the divine work. Men are saved
only by human agencies. There are
hundreds of mothers responsible for the
damnation of their boys and of their
girls"
Samuel II. Baynard followed DR.
Poulson on the platform and gave some
sound advice regarding the sanitary
conditions of the grove and pointed
out the fact that even the Almighty
was sweeping the decks clean just then
yet the people must do their part. He
also mentioned the young men who
last year seemed to think the auditor
ium a proper place for physical cul-
ture and pointed out the fact that Mr..
Johnson's wood pile would be a first
class place to strengthen and develop
the muscles.
The other speakers were Aubrey Van
dever j. W. Jordan and the Rev. A.
Judd, pastor Of the Elam NJ. E. Church.
Explosions Cause Excitement.
There was quite a stir Of excitement
last evening at o'clock. caused by the
( explosion OF a lamp in the tent Of the
Rev H. C. Turner, of the Brandywine
NJ. f. Church. Without any apparent
cause the lamp began blazing tiercely.
With remarkable courage and presence
Of mind Aubrey Vandever, Jr, the
young son of Aubrey Vandever, threw
the lamp out of the door. A boy who
saw the blaze ran for superintendent
Pyle. There was a patent chemical fire
leXtinguisher at the boarding tent and
Mr.. Pyle ran to the scene of the acci-
dent with the extinguisher, but when
: he arrived the fire had been put out
, No one was injured and no damage
DONE
There was another blaze in the new
tent of James Shaffer. at Brandywine
and Hance avenues. Mrs. Shaffer ap-
piled a match to a gasoline stove that
had been leaking, and in an instant
! there was an explosion Of the gasoline.
Immediately the interior Of the tent
was one mass Of flames, the lining
quickly catching fire and spreading
with great rapidity. Mrs. Shaffer did
not become excited, but heroically
started to tear down the lining and
then threw a mat over the burning
cloth. In this way she had no difficulty
in putting out the fire. There was com.
paratively little damage done. with the
exception to the lining Of the tent
which will have to be replaced.
