The Picnic AT Oak Orchard
The church school OF, the Ellen
lale NJ E. Church had a wonderful
rip to Oak Orchard on August 8.
The superintendents, teachers and
scholars spent a day of extreme
pleasure at the old river resort and
home tired but ready to go
Cgain next year.
Oak Orchard is a grand place for
church schools to go. The oak grove
bordering on the river front, gives
hade from the sun at all times. The
water is shallow and suitable for
to bathe in. The inlet to
he ocean is now open and salt wa
er comes freely into the river,
making the waters pure and safe
rom a sanitary view. Many pavil-
ions have been erected which also
i've shelter to the people.
