WHARTONG GROVE CLOSES

The last Sunday of the camp, August
30th, was an ideal day. After the long
week of rainy and cloudy weather, the
sun came out brightly, the air was cool
and bracing and the conditions were
perfect for physical and spiritual enjoy
ment. From far and near came peo-
pie bent on making the most of the
occasion, and by actual count there
were moored to the long wharf no less
than 140 gasoline launches, while six
steamers were present with loads Of
passengers, and IL sail vessels anchor
ed in the nearby waters. A large
number also came in vehicles and every
available hitching post was in use. The
crowd was estimated at at least 5000.
Old friends met and chatted, quiet
women talked oyer old times and of
their home matters, well behaved par
ties from afar strolled about the
grounds and made themselves at home.
The auditorium was crowded at both
morning and afternoon services, and no
lack of attention was shown. Indeed,
the attention at times seemed intense
as DIR. Wharton, seemingly at his best,
spoke in his clear voice His discours-
i've style seems peculiarly fitted for
holding the attention of miscellaneous
audience. and his perfect ease of man.
ner and self poise places him easily first
as an entertaining speaker. DR.. Geo.
II. Lsu sang with force and spirit. At
the afternoon service quite a osmber
showed that their hearts had been
touched, and asked for the prayers of
Christians
Next year the meeting will begin
Friday before the fourth Sunday in
August, as it did this, and will be con-
Quoted in very much the same manner,
only there will be additional features,
if possible to improve on the program.
Those who remained on the grounds all
the week unhesitatingly declare that in
their opinion the Sunday School Insti-
tute was the best thing of the kind
ever held in the Northern Neck, and
the one regret expressed was that so
many Sunday school workers were kept
away. However, blessings of the week
are expected to manifest themselves
throughout the year, and for that mat
ter, for years to come All in all it was
a glorious meeting.
Now everything is quiet at the Grove.
The hotels. cottages and booths refuse
to open and extend the hospitality of
few days ago. The cheerful voices
are not heard ringing over the hills, but
instead the stately oaks, hickories and
many other hardwood trees stand
guard, their branches spread over the
whole surroundings as if to protect
them until another season of worship
and study rolls around. r
