BRANDYWINE SUMMIT CAMP
GROUNDS. Aug. 1.-For many
years It has been the custom Of many
tenters on the Summit Camp
grounds to sit on the outside OF the
tabernacie rather than sit on the
front rows Of the place of worship.
This was done because OF the
crowded conditions and the heat on
the inside of the tabernacle. An ex-
ccption to this mode Of worship was
take last evening when the Rev
Craience NJ Keen scored the camp
srs who had refused upon request
TO come up front He characterized
them as "wishy- -washy Christians" "
Mr.. Keen's comment has caused
quite a stir among the tenters. as
some of the most active members Of
Brandywine Summit have occupied
seats outside the tabernacle for
years.
Mr.. Keen further scored church
mem bers who do not strictly observe
the Sabbath. He said that II the
church members would not come
out openly for God and work for
him they had better stay away from
the place Of worship. He also scored
the man who stays at home and
reads the Sunday papers while he
sends his children 10 sunday School.
The man who spends his Sundays
on the golf links also came in for
condemnation.
He concluded by warning young
men against marrying Jesebels, say
ing that a man should not wait until
he was on the point Of marrying
before considering a girls Christi
anity. but should consider Il before
he took her out the first time He
said that the same thing applied 10
young women. This he claimed
would be the cure for the divorces
evil.

morning service. taking as his sub
ject. "The Holy Spirit" At one time
Mr.. Keen was connected with the
religious work Of the local Y. NJ.
