"THOMAS.POWELL
NIGHT" ENJOYED
spscial to THE EVENING JOURNAL.


Last night at Brandywine Summit
camp was "Thomas-Powell night,
and il proved one of the greatest
nights Of the campmeeting season. 1t
was conceded that the largest crowd
that has attended a week-night SER
vice at the grove for some time was
at the camp last night. Numerous
automobile parties came out from
Wilmington and other places in the
nearby vicinity, and the steamer
busses made several trips. After sup
per automobiles and carriages COM
menced to arrive at the grove, and by
o'clock there we're fifty machines
parked at the top of the hill. Sew
eral of the churches were represented
by large parties of young people. A
party of thirty from Union Church
came out. while Asbury and Scott
street also sent out large delegations.
Both Mrs. Powell and Professor
Thomas have splendid voices. and
their circle Of friends in this COM
munity is a wide one. They presented
an interesting program, singing many
solos and duets, while the chorus
choir never sang better. Thomas
night has been a feature Of the camp
meeting season for several years This
year, however, the presence OF Mrs.
Grace Sutton Powell made it possible
to have a team night, with the result
that "Thomas-Powell night" was OBJ
served. That both of these singers
have sung their way into the hearts
OF the Delaware and PENNSYLVANIA
people just as they have wherever
else they have sung, was proven last
night by the large and enthusiastic
congregation that attended their SER
vice Following the songfest which
these two singers, together with the
assistance Of the large chorus choir,
gave at the beginning OF the service,
Professor Thomas and DR.. Hubbard
made evangelistic talks. which made
q deep impression upon the congre-
cation. Two conversions resulted
from the forceful and vigorous ex-
hortations.
Too iAuch praise canno. be given
to the choir which did sucf effective
work last night. Never did the voices
blend more beautifully and never did
the songs sung by them have a
greater effect. Professor Thomas d.
rected the singing in a skillfCl manner
and throughout the entire evening
there was much feeling and express
sion displayed in the songs sung, Fa-
miliar hymns we're sung by the choir
and congregation in an inspiring
manner. Among Pentecostal hymns
sung were "He Is Mine" "I Want tc
See Jesus, Don't You?" "Oh. | Love
Him." "Hallelujah." "The Man Of
Gallilee." "Oh, That Message That re
Gave to Me- I'VE Shall Shine as the
Stars Of the Morning. "Sweeter as
the Years Go By" Just As I An
Without One Plea" and many others.
Mrs. Powell. with the assistance oi
the choir. sang From Every Stormy
Wind That Blows" which was such q
favorite last winter at the LVon evan
gelistic campaign in Wilmington. She
also sang THE Bird With the Broker
Pinions" and "If I Were a Voice
