OCEAN GROVE N. J., July Z, 1905
The summers program Of religious serv-
ices is now In fun swing and one may 80
to church In Ocean Grove any time from
sunrise until 10 o'clock or later In the
evening. Tomorrow the Rev. DR.. Frederick
Stanley OF New York city will preach IN
the Auditorium at both services. This sun
day will be given over to the Sabbath Op-
servance Association. The topic taken by
all speakers throughout the day Will have
to do with the observance OF the Sabbath
only and Ocean Grove will be pointed out
as one Of the very few places in the country
where nobody does that which is not abso-
lutely necessary from the first day OF the
week.
Though 1t is an oft-told story. there are
still thousands of people familiar with botn
places who do not know that wheel never
turns on Sunday. There are two big
wooden gates at Broadway ana mann
streets, the only entrance by road to the
camp meeting city, which are closed al
midnight on Saturday. doctors carriage
is never allowed to enter the resort nor
even funeral to pass out on the Saopatn.
Likewise the milk men stand at the gate
while cottagers and hotel folks with ket-
ties and cans run all the way from block
to a mile to get this necessity. So the
Sabbath observance has not been chosen
with the hope Of doing any local good. II
is the great world outside of Ocean Grove
which the dominies wish to reach.
The Sunday school assembly opens on
Monday and will last for three days. On
next Wednesday night there is to be
moving picture show in the Auditorium and
Saturday of next week will see the presen-
tation of The Kingdom of Heaven. one
OF the most beautiful of the cantatas to be
given this summer. Tonight there is to be
a large popular concert.

dist shouting and singing. fireworks and
even band music to celebrate Independence
day at Ocean Grove this year. The latter
was an innovation and gave signs of arous-
ing such popularity Musical Director Nor
gan has promised TO do what he can to
get permanent band for the Grove next
season. The immense Auditorium was filled
Wednesday morning and 1t is estimated
that there were 1900 people under the one
roof. Mr.. Morgan's big chorus of 500 pieces,
playing until the volume of sound when
Joined by the big audience. rolled out In
great pillows and was easily heard In diff.
ferent parts Of Asbury Park. The Grafton
of the day was made by Mr.. Theodore R.
Burton of Cleveland. 1t was altogether
very sensible celebration of the day, al
though not a few small boys were found
who had Ideas to the contrary. The young
sters at Ocean Grove had to HE themselves
off to the beach and there fire their crackers
and shoot their pop guns.
