LARGE CROWDS ARE
ATTENDING DEL-MAR.VA CAMP

One of the largest crowds that
ever attended a camp was at Del
Mar-Va Camp on Sunday to hear the
well known evangelist, DR.. George
w. Cooke. The official report is that
close to II 900 were on the grounds.
The roads leading from Laurel and
SeafOrd were at one time strung for
mile each way with machines.
The crowd not only came from the
Eastern Shore, but also from the
Western Shore as well as Baltimore
and Washington and Virginia.
1t was announced that instead of
closing the camp on Tuesday night
it would run over next Sunday,
closing Sunday night. This decision
was arrived at owing to the incle-
ment weather of last week, and the
popular demand of the cottagers
and people. While DR.. Cooke was
scheduled to go at once to another
appointment, he consented to stay
over until next Sunday at the de-
mand of the people. He at once ar
ranged for Baron Won Gallo, of
Moscow, Russia, to return to the
camp and he will be at the camp
to the close. Baron Won Gallo plays
thirty-six instruments and is bring
ing them with him. He will also
give several addresses. DR.. Cooke
and Professor Vigneulle have ar
ranged full program and the pros
poets are clear for a splendid close
next Sunday.
Dr. Cooke preached three great |
sermons last Sunday. In the morn
ing his subject was "The Form of |
the Fourth" in the afternoon "a
Better World Or An Underworld" !
and at night to a crowd that COM
pletely filled the grounds he drew |
a vivid picture of the "Prodigal |
SON."
The musical program was excep-
ional. In addition to the program
arranged by Professor Vigneulle,
Dr.. J. H. Carpenter. of Salisbury
by bringing the Welles
Male Quartet which captiyated the
rowd.
The Bible School closed with its
argest attendance, 400 being pres
mt each day. The cottagers are all
ubilent at the prolonging of the
amp.
At the close of the camp DIR.
'Ooke with his party are fastening
D Western New York for the Cen
see Conference sessions, and then
n the 27th of September start
