The campaign of the Bssington Co
operative Evangellstic Society against
drinking and vice in general In the boat
house colony at Essington Is progressing
most favorably, according to James Tay-
lor, president of the society. The cam

its chief feature a revival service held

among the townspeople and every day
brings new recruits.
1.-THE meetings have served to arouse
civic pride and have stirred the citizens
to action. After standing for the antics
and immoral actions of certain members
OF the boathouse colony for years, the
townspeople have determined to uproot
the evils,
"There was only one solution; namely,
to band the Christian people together for

Aside from the immortality In many of
the camps, Taylor charges that rum is
sold openly on Sunday and carted from a
