Pitman Grove, Chester Heights and
Brandywine Springs are in session.
A somewhat unusual but interesting and
legitimate use of the talking machines is
for camp-meetings. The records of which
the catalogues list a rich variety, are rev
erently made by celebrated artists, many
OF them prominent soloists in the best
church choirs of the country.
The phonograph records afford an admir-
able medium of accompaniment for con-
gregatlonal singing at love feasts and other
services. as well as an appropriate form
Of edfying entertainment for the long eve
nings in camp.
Those who are not fortunate enough TO
be able to "go to camp" this summer can
have camp-meetng right at home with
their photographs.
