The camp meeting came to a close
Sunday evening with one of the largest
crowds in the history of the Park. The
rain in the morning kept many away
until the afternoon, when the grounds
began filling up with automobiles and
by evening it was difficult to get through
the mass of machines near the audi
forum and streets nearby. Rev. l.. J.
Miller preached in the morning and
evening and Rev. D. F. Brooks in the
afternoon. At the evening service the
crowd was the largest that ever attend
ed meeting here IN the history of the
camp while the tabernacle was packed
to its utmost capacity at least one
thousand were unable to gain entrance
to the building. The sermon by Rev.
Miller was one of his greatest during
the meeting and while he preached one
hour and twenty minutes there was the
most perfect order, everyone desiring
to catch every word of the great
preacher. Altogether the meeting has
been a great success, and speaks we'll
for the future under the same manage
ment.
