LAUREL AND BETHEL CAMP
GROUNDS, August 21.-Following the
stormy weather of last week the
campers we're treated to an ideal day
yesterday. Thousands of visitors spent
the entire day in the woods. Hotel
accommodations have been inadequate
and Saturday and Sunday night scores
of visitors who had expected to stay
on the grounds over night were COM
PEELED 10 go to Laurel and Seatord Tor
accommodations.
AT the opening of the camp season
II was predicted that the increase IN
the price of admission, which was
from from five to ten cents, would
keep down the attendance. So far this
has not been evident. Considering
the fact that there are three more
camps going on within a radius OF
fifteen miles, 1000 people is a good
Sunday crowd.
The services Sunday we're very IN
teresting. At 9 o'clock love feast was
held in charge of the Rev. George G.
Williams. This was followed by an
experience meeting and preaching at
1890 o'clock by the Rev. DR.. Mckin~
ney Of Philadelphia. The Rev. r. G.
Macnichol, d. d., Of Wilmington,
preached at o'clock. DR.. Mckinney
preached again in the evening.
Hall and Mack, accompanied by the
blind composer, Giebel, arrived on the
train Saturday evening and thenr
presence is very noticeable. Undor
the leadership of those three men and
Professor J. ID. Warfel the choir takes
an important part in all the services.
On Saturday evening the Hon. l..
Irving Handy delivered his lecture,
"Did He Die and Live Again" Renters
considered It a rare treat to hear Mr..
Handy.
Today is one OF the odd" days at
camp. Cottagers visited the neighbor-
ing towns and went on fishing and
swimming trips. There will be one
service on the grounds today. The
