 Playlnatea Teach Prayers.
 When asked if she knew a prayer to say at night, this same girl said that she knew a little of Our Father" but examination revealed that she could not get beyond the opening clause. So nightly instruction was be- gun, and as often was delayed some what in getting to this particular room, I would find upon my arrival, the other six girls in bed and this girl kneeling at hers repeating the Lords Prayer, sentence by sentence, prompt ed by her various room mates These self constituted teachers felt great satisfaction when she was able to re- peat the prayer quite correctly before time for her to leave. She and her brother had never been to church or Sunday school, so it was quite an event for them to accompany ua to church their first Sunday at camp; and since their return they have been en- rolled in one of the Sunday schools of the city. 2
 And Still it Rains.
 The first set of children consisted largely of those who were at the camp last year, which was well, as it rained steadily for three days, and the tent which was to serve as dining room was still on the ground waiting for the proper facilities for erection, so that we had to eat in various rooms in the house, including the basement, and it was not exactly easy to serve fam fly of over forty, eating on two floors; but we managed it, and the children, having been at the camp befre, knew that there were better things in store for them and made no complaint, as is indicated by the following, written by one of the boys at that time. It was addressed to his mother, but be- gins: Dear Sir, I like the camp and it rains here and we have lot of fun and we get lots of good things to eat and we play in the barn and it rains all day and we have a happy time"
 Another letter said: We eat in the cellar: it ia nico and clean down there" It was happy day for us all when our huge tent was at last erected and we could eat our doors from that time on. rain or shine.
 Grow Fat White You Wait.
 The children, almost without ex- ception, gained in weight, some gain ing several pounds during their two weeks stay, although the gain was not always quite so rapid as one girl thought hers was. She arrived on Thursday and on Friday morning wrote home. "I am growing fatter every day. Other letters contained sentences like the following: lover here we hava fun enough to drown you.'' "The nurses treat us very kind ly and give us extra blankets so we shouldn't bo cold.'' "Oh if you only knew how much fun we have you'd be surprise The daily program is we'll outlined in a letter written by a | twelve year old girl for the "New | Britain Herald at the request of the editor. This girl had serious heart l trouble and stayed at the camp for six | weeks, going home greatly improved | in health.
 | Burritt Mission Popular.
 1 There is no question but that the camp meets very great need in our city and is we'll worth all the time and [ money spent upon it. The regular lines of work are now engaging ou1 attention, although all of our clubs and classes are not yet under way. The Burritt Mission is proving as popular as ever in the neighborhood and i takes most of the time that Mrs. D'Ad darioi is able to give to our work, tt make the necessary visits in tha

 that have been started there.
