= Brandywine Summit, Aug. 17.-
brandywine Summit Campmeeting fol
the summer of 1920 is over 1t closed
a successful season last night with the
usual farewell service of a walk around
through the camp. Several hundred
campers and visitors who came to enjoy
the closing services marched in the
walk-around singing new and old time
campmeeting songs. Every part of the
ground was lighted up, every cottage was
specially decorated, and Japanese Ian
terms and lanterns of red, white, and blue
were mingled in a beautiful lighting
scheme.
The pagoda at the top of the hill was
decorated with Japanese lanterns, and
for its beautiful lighting effect. Viewed
from the hill it appeared to be one prism
of colored light but a closer view showed
every cottage had red, white and blue
lanterns hanging on the porch and the
flower beds were surrounded by number
less little wax candles. High up In the
branches of a tree which stood IN the
center of the avenue was the Knights
Templar's red illuminated cross sur
rounded by yellow crown.
1t had been planned to repeat the sur
prise Of last Saturday and show the burn
ing cross as the worshippers were gather
ed around the campfire, but rainy weather
prevented the preparation of the lights.
