Church Service At Maranaeook
The church service, Sunday was
held at Camp Maranacook by the in
vitation of Mr.. Morgan. In spite of
the rain a dozen or so auto loads of
people went from kents Hill and
Readfield and everyone felt repaid for
the trip by the spirit of the service.
About $50 people made a good con-
gregation in the spacious new audit
oriun1. Mr.. Haywood, who has been
one Of the councillors at the camp
during the summer, spoke in a very
engaging way to the younger ones on
Talking with their feet, showing
that the way they walked and lived
now made clear their characters. Mr..
Dunlap. a Congregational minister
from Brookline Mass, preached a
useful sermon on, 1.-THE Temptations
Of Christ. Throughout the service
there was music. The quintet of
councillors sang. Mr.. Roderick sang
a solo and one of the boys played
with great excellence on a curious
piped instrument. The boys made
most creditable showing, evidently
anxious that their service should have
the spirit of reverence. The Offering
was divided between the Readfeld
and Kents Hill churches.
After the service the people looked
about the camp and could not but be
proud of such a well conducted local
institution.
