lives of those whom they served,
and who know the needs and
worth of missionary effort. Among
those who appeared on the evening
programs were:
Miss Helen Brinkman, director of
religious education for the Indian
schools; Miss Esperanto Abellera,
leader of youth in the Philippines,
now attending Columbia University;
DR.. w. M. Danner, general secretary
Fof American Missions for Lepers;
Mrs. C.. K. Lippard, former mission

/ ness manager of the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
At the close of each address an open
forum was held in which the speakers
answered questions asked by those in
the audience.
Camp Clean.
The girls from Camp Clean COM
posed the choir for each evening SER
vice, and the music for all sessions
was directed by Mrs. w. E. Beall,
of Laurel, Md, and Mrs. E. W. Yates,
of Cumberland, Md, was the piano
accompanies. Mrs. johnson presided
at all meetings.
| Camp Clean, which provided such a
delightful home for the girls, was IN
charge of Miss Anna F. Shaw, an ex-
perienced camp leader, of Round Bay,
Md, and her assistants were Miss
Sarah Evans and Miss Katherine
Jones, of Fairmont, w. Va, who have
been regular members of the camp for
the past several years.
While the camp is conducted in con-
nection with the school, and the girls
assisted in every way possible in max
ing the school success, they had
their own classes and discussion
groups at camp which were adapted
to their own ages and needs. They
also had recreational periods that pro-
vided happy social times during their
stay at the Park and friendships were
formed that were wholesome and
may prove to be of lasting duration.
/ The theme of the camp this year
was Christ in Every Life" and the
camp song each year is "Fo,low the
Gleam."
Many girls, through the years that
the camp has been in existence, have
caught their first vision of service to
God and others during their stay at
Camp Clean, and have given their
lives to definite Christian work be-
cause of the impressions received
while there.
Filling A Need
While the purpose of the school and
camp is achieved through the pro-
grams that are so carefully and pray
erfully planned and executed, back of
them all must be the consideration Of
and arranging for the ways and
means whereby they may be furnished
and the working out of the many de-
tails that must be attended to during
the course of the year TO make the
school possible. For all these credit
is due Mrs. B. H. Sincell, of Oakland,
Nd, who is general chairman, and
Mrs. J. L. Stratton, treasurer, of New
Castle, Pa, both of whom have served
as officers of the school over long
period of years, and through whose
tireless efforts the school has been
continued from year to year, and at
times in the face of difficulties and
discouragements.
The registrar for this year was Mrs.
A. A. Richards, of Mountain Lake
| Park, and the literature room was in
charge of Miss Della Sherman, of Bal
timore, who had as her assistant Mrs.
G. E. Hoffman, of Fairmont, W. Va.
Miss Sherman has served long and
faithfully in the capacity of literature
secretary.
The need of the Mountain Lake
Park Interdenominational School of
Missions and the benefits to be de-
rived from attending it have become
established facts and the leaders in
charge of the movement feel that the
prospects for future growth. and de-
velopment are brighter today than
ever before.
Banquet and Pageant
The closing of the school for this
year was marked by two events of
more than passing interest, when the
girls of Camp Clean rendered ban
quet to the instructors and workers
of the school, with Miss Anna Shaw,
assisted by Miss Evnas, as hostesses,
in charge, where a feast of good
things, prepared by Miss Hicks, in
charge of the Deaconess Home, was
served in the large dining hall of the
camp, and the presentation of a pag-
cant by the Women's Missionary So
ciety of st. Paul's church of Oakland,
at the auditorium.
At the camp gorgeous rainbow
formed at one end of the dining hall
and from it ribbons of purple and yell
low, the camp colors, met at the CEN
ter and branched out to the corners
with the subject to be talked upon by
the various speakers of the evening:
Sunshine" by Mrs. Johnson; "Shad-
ows," by Mrs. Dan Brummitt; Miss
Roby gave one of her readings and
Miss Shaw opened the pot of gold at
