The camp meeting, which closed al
the old auditorium on Sunday evening
was the best attended and most inter
esting that has been held here in q
long term of years. The meetings were
all well attended by people from near
ly every eastern state as well as some
from the middle and far west. The
sermons delivered by the preachers
were strong in doctrine, deep in the
word and every man who appeared on
the platform brought amessage Of hope
and cheer to all who heard them.
In addition to the large crowds who
attended the meeting regularly, the
attendance on Saturday night and
again at the Sunday morning. after
noon and evening services, filled the
tabernacle to the doors.
One of the strongest preachers in
Methodism, in the person of Bishop
Joseph F. Berry, of Philadelphia, will
be hire on Sunday and will preach at
the morning service, 1920, and again
in the afternoon at 2:30. Bishop Ber-
RVS sermons are wonderful for their
diction, sound facts and doctrine. All
who can, should hear at least one of
the sermons Sunday; two of them will
fill you.
During the latter days of last week
the national convention of the Centen-
airy Cadets was held at the Park, the
headquarters having been established
at Thoburn Inn where the meetings
were held and at which the program
for the encampment of this organi-
cation at this point next year, was ar
ranged. Delegates from a large num-
Der OF the states We're present, Ma
tional officers of the Cadets organiza-
ton were elected and the meeting ad-
journed on Friday night.
Beginning on Monday evening of
this week the Pittsburgh Conference
EpWorth League Institute, held it's
first session, the meeting being get
together affair and was held in the am
phitheatre. Addresses were made by
members of the faculty followed by
the presentation of the picture reel
entitled "The World at Columbus"
This picture is said to be a wonderful
piece of photography, but unfortu-
nately by the breaking down of the
electric plant which furnishes power
to operate the machines, hut a small
portion of the picture had been pro-
jected when the building was plunged
into darkness. The picture will be
shown later, however, and free to all
who had paid their admission fee Mon
day evening.
The number attending the f. L. In
stitute from Pittsburgh and the com
munity nearby is more than six hun
dred, the majority of whom arrived in
the Park on a special train which left
Pittsburgh Monday morning. Others
motored through. The Institute, with
hourly classes for instruction and de-
votions, will last until the 10Th inst.
On Monday of next week the Balti-
more-Washington Epworth League In
stitute will have the right of way at
the Park. Several hundred delegates
are expected to be present from these
two cities. The speakers will be men
prominently identified with church and
state, among them being Bishop w.
F. Mcdowell of Washington; Hon.
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
United States Navy; DR.. Clarence
True Wilson and DR.. John r. Mott.
The material for the eXtention and
Improvement of the water system in
the Park, which was purchased many
months ago, has at last been received
and is being placed in position, which
will relieves the conditions surround
ing shortage of the water supply at
many points in the Park.
Since the improvement of the Park
buildings have been completed, these
properties all present very
attractive appearance. In another
year it has been predicted by some of
the knowing ones, the improvement of
the entire Park will be so marked that
those who are accustomed to visit
here will think they are in another
place. So mote it be.
The taxi service between the Park
and Oakland has been greatly helped
in recent days by the addition of a bus
which leaves and arrives at the two
points named upon schedule time. The
men who operate the taxis have come
to an understanding also with the
Park authorities that hereafter the
rate charged for conveying a single
fare from any point in the Park will
be 35 cents, while the rate from Oak
land to the Park or vice versa will be
one dollar either for one or four pas
sengers, this rate being for the round
trip.
The cafeteria, which has been estab-
llshed at Thoburn Inn and managed by
Mr.. Howard W. Hamilton, has met
with the approval and has the patron
age of hundreds of people daily. The
regularly conducted hotels are also
well patronized and on Tuesday night
rooms in private homes were requisi-
toned by the Park management to
accommodate the large crowds which
came in for the Epworth League In
stitute.
The establishment in the centre of
the Park of store by Judge Cuppett
has filled a long felt want for those
who are residing in that section of the
grounds and are in a hurry for pro-
visions of any kind. The store is well
stocked and is neat and clean in every
department and as a result the pro
prietor is enjoying a splendid trade
The other stores, operated in the
Loeb Lynn section of the Park are
also well patronized and the aim of
the owners is to cater to the wants of
all, and they do it by having on hand
everything needed for the table OF
other portions of the home.
