staff Correspondence of Every Evening


Little Sunday" to describe Brandy
wine Summit Camp, yesterday, proved
to be very much of a misnomer. On the
contrary, the day developed into quite a
big Sunday, indeed. What with excellent
services, good attendance, numerous vlsi-
tors, and flag raising, 1t proved enough
for one Sunday and some to spare
The camp suddenly changed from Its
humdrum routine during the week TO a
thoroughly alive and bustling little city
over Saturday and Sunday. All services
were well attended, the auditorium beng
filed to capacity with an overflow,
crowding the seats arranged outside OF the
big tent. Eight persons professed Chris
tianity at the afternoon and evening
meetings, which were principally evan
gelistic in character.
Rev. G.. T. Wyatt was the preacher at
the morning and evening services. Rev.
E. l.. Hubbard offered prayer and read
the Scriptures, and there were solos by
Miss Edith Sartin of Philadelphia and
W n. Thomas, the camp chorister.
j. R. Bicking talked to the children at
$50 o'clock, using colored inks and
brushes to illustrate his lessons. The chli-
dren were fascinated and many of the
older people who attended were interested
and amused at the quaint figures and
teacher.
AFTERNOON AUDIENCE WAS Big
The largest meeting of the day was the
afternoon service at 3 o clock. The KEY
Carlisle L. Hubbard of st. Pauis Nj. f.
Church preached and his efforts were re-
warded by six trail-hltters.
The Summit Sing, the Young people $
meeting at o'clock, was well attended
III Il
Guthrie, secretary of the Board of Edu-
cation, Wilmington, led the music and
Rev f. H. Collins, as usual, was IN charge
Rev J. w. Fogle, a retired minister OF the
Wilmington Conference, now located IN
Seaford, made short talk, In addition
to which there was an excellent program
There were solos by Miss Nettle Lamborn
of Avondale, Pa, daughter of Wesley
Ewing. who was well known TO many
Summit campers; Miss Annabel Groves
of Wilmington and a piano solo by Mrs
Howard Bartenslager, from Hanover
Presbyterian Church, Wilmington.
DR.. G. t. Wyatt was again the preacher
at the evening services, and took for his
text the 9th verse of the third chapter
of Lamentations: at is good for man
that he bear the yoke in his youth. As
: the text suggests DR. Wyatt's address was
his audience, and his remarks emphasized
that the acceptance of the yoke OF Chris
tianity was not taking on any new obi
cations but was merely the assumption
OF obligations that already existed. As IN
all services throughout the dav, the ser
mon was principally evsngellstic In charac-
ter.
As usual. Dr.. Hubbard was in charge
of the service with William y. Thomas
leading the music There was also solo
given by Mrs Edith Sartin Of Philadel-
phia, and also one by ". \. Thomas. DIR.
Hubbard made the prayer.
DR. Hubbard asked for SIS at this
service and got it. This made Sl75 that
has been collected during the day In sub
scriptions of So each. Announcement WAS
made that tomorrow mornings service
will be omitted because Monday Is wash
and cleanup day at camp. All other
services will be as usual at the same time
as today's services.
At one time there were more than 3OO
automobiles on the grounds, and, due
to an efficient parking system introduced
at the camp, they were brought IN and
out without any OF the chaos usually
made on those occasions. A small
charge was made for this service, all of
which goes toward camp expenses. The
bus that runs from camp during the busy
seasons of past years has been missing
until yesterday, when regular trips were
made between Wilmington and the
camp.

Just to keep Asbury avenue on the
camp map, cottagers IN that locality
participated in hag-raising, Sunday

with the usual ceremonies and festivities.
