August, 2
When Uncle Sam recently made
temporary bargain with American Wal
thams and Big Bens TO the effect that an
hour of daylight should be saved daily by
advancing our time an hour, he evidently
did not take into consideration certain
conditions climatic, lazy and otherwise -
nj Brandywinc Summit Camp At least
SO said Rev. r. L. Hubbard, commander
in chief ut the camp, last night and he
straight-away set about making changes
To suit the camp Not that the camp
harbors anv anarchists or other citizens
Of n law-opposing order. but simply that
whenever body Of people so thoroughly
renounce the world rs To take mp their
abode at the Summit campground, they
feel they are privileged to sci their own
time For this purpose DIR Hubbard
announced last night hat meeting would
be called today for the purpose OF changing
the time of the regular services rather
than revising our new time order
So it is highly probable that the hour
OF the early morning prayer will be Z
o'clock instead Of Is 20; the regular morn
ing service AT II, instead OF 1910 and all
the other services mTde later accordingly.
Although the programs, which are expect
ed daily. have not arrived. DIR Hubbard
limited AZ the possibility Of getting them
before the end Of camp Steps will
probably now be taken to have the time Of
service announced on the programs
changed before they are printed.
Good weather brought number 81
transient visitors To the camp yesterday
and all the services were enthusiastic AMI
well-attended There was no early morn
ing PRAYER Rev. Paul II. Sloan of

SUMMIT SING.
A long and widely advertised feature
of the camp was the Young people 3
song service nj & 70 o clock IN the evening
Someone called IT the summit Sing
and the, name will probably stick. II Is
under the enthusiastic and magnetic
leadership Of Prof William Thomas, and
gives promise OF being one of the
best things offered Mt the camp this year
Rev T. II Collins otlieiated last night
and will probably do SO III the future.
DR. Sloan was again the preacher at
the evening services. Prayer was offer
ed by Rev J. ID G. Hanna and several
solos were sung by Mrs. Edith Sartln
OF Philadelphia.
The camp is getting better every dav

DR.. Hubbard said last night that the
absence of programs makes II difficult 10
announce tomorrow's meetings as the
printer has all the data However he
promised that the Rev l.. ". Laytield,
member of the Wilmington Conference,
will preach in the afternoon and that Rev
