BRANDYWINE SUMMIT CAMP,
Aug. 25.-After a blaze Of red, green
and white lights, and a walk-around
by hundreds of campers singing
Were Marching To zion,' Brandy
wine Summit Camp assembled for the
last time in the tabernacle last night.
Amid silence, Harry Husbands rang
the final bell and then the Rev.
Theodore f. Beachamp formally de-
clared the camp of 1914 closed.
OF course there was a shower, that
/ campers almost affectiOnately refer
red to as "Our annual rain" Nearly
all the visitors had started for camp
| before the downfall, so that it did not
seriously interfere with matters. Two
wasonloads of happy and cookbook
ing young folks came out from Union
/ Church.
The plan was tried this year of put
ting all the decorations on the ave-
nues, and keeping the circle clear of
/ adornment so that the meetings
would not be distracted by counter
attractions
ST. Paul's Avenue was very elabor-
ately and beautifully ornamented with
hundreds of candles and lanterns.
There were set pieces including two
ten-feet crosses of light, and the
words Farewell" outlined in fire
across the front of the st. Paul's ta-
ble-tent. Red and green fire lighted
the avenue during the professional.
Asbury and Summit Avenues, were
also ablaze with lights and colors.
] oil
were circled with candles. Many OF
the children carried sparklers.
After the closing, groups OF people pa
raded the grounds until a late hour ad-
miring the decorations The choir gave
a rousing and musical send-oif to W. n.
Thomas, who left last night for Ocean
Grove.
Dr. c. H. Woolston, who was not able
to stay for the evening owing to a
Philadelphia engagement, gave the chill
dren a last talk at noon. He brought
his little granddaughter, who sang the
hymn of his composing, Jesus Loves the
Little Children of the World" This
young lady of eight was the first to
sing the song She can do al his sleight-
of hand tracks as well as he can. The
camp children also say they are pre-
pared to do them The congregation
gave DR.. Woolston the Chautauqua sa
lutte when he left. He almost lost his
train trying TO get through the mass
children, who were unwilling to see him
depart
In the evening the Rev. Disston w
Jacobs conducted the last young peo-
pies meeting, using as his theme the
raising of the widows son by Elijah.
Tributes to camp workers took the
place of the usual evening preaching
The Rev. F. C. MacSorley, the Rev. j.
w. Colona and the Rev. w * Galloway
were visiting preachers present.
The first speaker, the Rev. 7. r
Beauchamp, said the camp had gone
on without ripple to disturb its har-
mony, there had been one conversion
and he had never heard greater ser
mons. He spoke of familiar faces
that he had missed this year. To en-
courage the young people, he refer
red to the fact that marriage pro
posal had taken placed on closing
night Is years ago.
Rev. d. W. Jacobs, the second
speaker, had joke on Mr.. Beau
champ. New to the task he had ask
