summer resort for the camper or
| the tourist. Two years ago marked
the beginning of this enterprise
which already gives promise Of be-
coming a great and lasting influence
in the intellectual and spiritual life
of California. At that time. Tux
edo was quiet mountain resort
whose charms were known to but
few. Today, its wonderful groves
and picturesque glens are alive with
visitors and summer residents. Cot
ages are rising on every slope, and
lots for building or camping tents
belonging to the association, are al

opened. No more beautiful spot for
a summer outing could be desired or

drones, cool, restful and inspiring.
But in the waters which abound up
on its four hundred acres. Mount
Hermon finds its most alluring
charm. Water. in streams and
pools. in springs and cascades:
water to drink. to stroll beside. to
listen to, to boat on, to swim in. to
fish in. Sparkling streams bordered
by giant ferns and shaded by mag
niticent trees: mountain trails, lead
ing to spots of exquisite beauty;
mineral springs of medicinal virtues.
These are among the many natural
attractions of this delightful place.
So much for the material things of
Mount Hermon.
A summer school modelled after
Winona of the east, has been estab-
lished at Mount Hermon under the
charge of noted instructors in litera-
ture, music, nature study and the
Bible. The important assemblies
were scheduled for the summer
season. The first of these occurred
June 1928, the subject being The
Reciprocal Relation of America and
the Orient" The conference was q
notable one. the question being
considered from evey point of view
by ministers, missionaries. business
men. labor union leaders and by rep
resentatiyes from China and Japan.
Its deliberations will be Of great
weight in all subsequent considera-
tions Of this problem.
Noted speakers and lecturers from
near and far. one coming from Lon
don, England, are to add their wis
dom to the many good things which
are offered to the intellectual visit
ors who delight in Mount Hermon.
