ing to illness in his family
Wash Monday" was generally OBJ
served or at least housewives found
tasks that kept them busily employed
during the morning around their ten1s.
Life in the woods is ideal and IL is
a pleasure to be in close touch with
nature in the very heart Of August.
The camp was somewhat isolated yes
terday. The telephones We're out Of
commission and an accident to tho
passenger auto practically cut of
communication with the city.
While the services during the day
were cut down there was a good at
tendance at the evening services and
an excellent sermon was preached by
the Rev. Mr.. Atkins. His text was
Mark 10.17, And when He was gone
forth into the way there came one run
ming and kneeled TO Him and asked
Him good Master what shall do that
! shall inherit eternal life?"
Dr. Hanna assisted with the services
which had something Of old camp
meeting enthusiasm about them At
the song service, which preceded tho
regular preaching hour. Mrs. Money
sang I'm a Child of the King Or.

theme at the twilight service when

expected. After the serenaders had
sung several hymns. speeches were
made by DR. MacSorley and Dr. Hanna |
with Mr. Vandever responding in a
happy vein. Each one shook hands and |
extended congratulations. Prof Muel- |
Ter led the singing. The little serenade
proved a pleasant feature of the days |
proceedings. With the serenaders were
"a number of the little folk who attend
the children's services.
The Rev. E. A. Gillespie was not |
present for the afternoon service and |
DIT MacSorley gave a brief talk on
Jesus and Nicodemus. At the child |
ren's service, Mr.. Vandever was given
a surprise when all the children arose
and said 1--WE wish you happy birth

day was Man Cured and his black
board illustration was a banner.

Camp Notes.
The new summer pavilion has been
completed and the entire camp popu-
lation feels very proud OF It, especial
ly Dr. Hanna, who has done the great
er part OF the work. Yesterday
flowers and vines were planted around
the border OF the center rockery, and
several bright red benches add much
to its appearance. Tnat section Of
the ground now looks like a park.
The new box light signs also add
greatly to the appearance Of the sur
roundings.
Every evening after service a
general promenade starts in the di-
rection of the hill, the destination
usually being Mr.. Alexander's ice
cream store.
Both the st. Paul's and Union
boarding tables are prettily decorated
this year. The tables are screened in.
eliminating all flies and bugs. A
visitor at camp remarked that better
food Is served at this camp than any
they had ever attended.
DR.. Hanna received a wound yester-
day afternoon while in bathing. In
some manner his arm caught in a
nail on an old raft and the flesh on
his wrist was lacerated. The wound
was dressed by his son, Dr. j. Marvin
