Finally he came to this country aud devoted his life to gospel work. The result Is that today he is clear and polished speaker, with much fire and convincing force and is doing splendid work in the Masters service.
 A VeritabIe Daniel
 The Rev G. NJ. Brown of Bridgeport, has been one of the strong factors in the success of the Pine Grove camp this year, With enthusiasm and zeal he has taken hold of many discouraging prob lems and has brought them to a suc- cessful issue. His associates in the as- sociation have leIrned to appreciate his splendid work and he has been modern Daniel in the cause that is so near and dear to his heart. He hopes to See Pine Grove at no distant day take the place that 1t ought to occupy as one of the grandest camp grounds to be found in all New England. All 1t needs is a little developemtnt along practical lines to make it such and this is bound to come. A Week of Service
 ! TAe past week has been one of inter- estlng services. The camp meeting proper began last Sunday. Prior to that was the Ohautauqua, leading up to 1t. The sermon that morning was by the Rev R. l.. Forman and was on the text, Follow me-" It was a sermon on self-denial and was logical, convincing and practical.
 The Sunday school was led by that splendid tactician, B. Reynolds, Bridge port, than whom there are few equal, and rarely is he excelled as Sunday school superintendent. It was 8 service of genuine inspiration.
 Fanny Crosby Thrills
 In the afternoon Fannie Crosby, the worlds. grandest writer of Gospel songs, made short address, emphasizing the searching of the scriptures. She impro- vised poem on the pines which thrilled | all who heard it, but unfortunately could not reproduce it later, as it was entirely the product of inspiration. The vesper service was one that will long be remembered. Fanny Crosby songs were sung and it was veritable penticostal night of inspiration to many hearts. Keep in Touch With Christ
 Monday saw goodly company gath cred in the grove. Sunday had wit messed every seat taken, scores of people driving in from distance to be present at the camp meeting opening. Monday showed continuation of Sundays in- terest on the part of those present. Thomas Dodd spoke on keeping in touch with Christ, and made a good impress sion. Rev Harry J. Lee, Liverpool, Eng, spoke on "The Way God Deals With us in Detail" It was stirring, searching sermon. The Rev George Brown has led the praise services with masterly skill and enthusiasm.
 Is Life Worth Living
 Tuesday morning Rev David Hughes preached a very forceful sermon on the above text. He quoted Buddah, Scheller, Byron, Carlisle and other noted char acters of the past and their words and writings, in which they held up life as anything but worth while. Even Solo, mon in Ecclesiastes refers to life as all vanity. After spending some time in viewing the negative side of the ques- tion he discussed its affirmative phase, that Q life lived for service and for Christ is worth the living. It all depends on the kind of life one leads. If it is to be life devoted entirely to worldliness it Is not worth the living. He only has learned to live who has the Christ force within his heart and is ready to sacrifice and live this life that other lives may be touched and blessed and the divine grace working through his life may prove blessing to those with whom such life is associated.
 Tuesday afternoon Rev E. H. Burnes delivered very practical and telling sermon. Rev David Hughes followed up his morning sermon by one in the evening of equally stirring quality.
 Wednesday the closing day of the camp meeting was one of service. It began with the service of song, followed by a sermon by Rev Harry Lee and in the afternoon by the Rev. David Hughes, and closed in the evening in the manner already outlined.
 A Successful Camp Meeting
 The meeting just closed has been a successful one. It has had a tendency to revive interest in the modern Pine Grove Camp meeting, an institution imbibing largely the Chautauquan idea and which is bound to grow and the News predicts that next year will see an attendance many times larger than that of the present season. All it needs is a trolley line out to the grove to make it accessible to the Sunday crowd, and a little more developing and the spreading of the tidings broadcast throughout the
