1888 SESSION SCHOOL OF
MISSIONS INTERESTING
Well Attended And Excellent
Program Carried Out

The Summer School of Missions at
Mountain Lake Park for 1888 opened
on Monday evening, July IS, with a
large group of girls from Camp Clean
and women and men from many places
with a praise service, followed by a
splendid musical program. After this
part of the service introductions and
short speeches were in order. The gen
eral chairman, Mrs. J. NJ. Knight, of
Charleston, West Va, presided in a
pleasing manner, making all to feel
welcome.
Camp Clean girls were fine, es-
pecially in the devotions under. the
able leadership of Miss Janet Gilbert,
of Dayton, O.; in music under Mrs.
Edna Carter, a teacher from Brown
ing Home for Negroes in the South
land. Mrs. Carter has full rich voice
and led in spirituals to the joy of all;
also Miss Ruth Murray, of Baltimore,
who has assisted in other years as we'll
as this year, to the delight of the girls
in the Camp.
Mrs. Irene Easter Lovett, as leader
of Camp Clean, won the hearts of the
girls. Mrs. Lovett came in place OF
| Miss Anna S. Shaw, who is on Eu-
ropean tonr this summer, and who has
been camp leader for a number of
years and so much loved by the many
girls who have felt her Christian in
fuence and given their lives to Chris
| tan service.
Those assisting in many programs
of song were Misses Emily Morgan
Miller, Frances Elson Miller, Helen
Louise Knight and Edna Carter and
Mr.. George Neadham. These young
folks were artists indeed.
The violin and harp were great adj
| ditions to the program. Miss Frances
| Miller and her work on the ha1=, as
well as Miss Emily Miller on the VIC
lin, and Miss Knight at the piano, rem
dered great service. Of the musicale
of Saturday evening too much could
not be said. We just recommend them
to anyone desiring such an evening of
| pleasure. Miss Norma Dayton, Pied
mont, assisted at the piano. Much tai
ent was displayed along musical lines
in the camp as well as in the school.
Little Miss Tony Dayton, who recited
and sang for us last year, was heard
on Sunday evening in her clear, sweet
voice of song.
Mrs. Yates, chairman of music, was
busy, suggesting, assisting and d.
recting. Mrs. Lovett, head of Camp
Clean, was ever engaged. New with
us this year, but so well liked that
she was elected to be with US again.
The addresses by DR.. j. E. HartZle1
on Trends of the World, who was also
our Bible teacher each morning at 81
o'clock, gave such an understanding
and clear vision of the "Word" that
even a child could grasp the meaning.
Such inspiration and knowledge came
from hearing him that we hope we
may have the pleasure of having him
with us again. Also the addresses of
DR.. Anna White, on High Lights OF
an Oriental Trip; Mrs. F. l. Johnson,
on "Fascism"; Mrs. Dorothy Robinson,
on Peace; Miss Ruth Pope, on "Alas-
ka," and things taught in Home and
Foreign Mission work by Mrs. c. E.
Timberlake and Miss Mary Johnson,
returned missionary from China,
filled all note books to overlooking.
Mrs. Patience Williams Grant, of
Oakland, delighted with her story hour
as did Miss Janet Gilbert, of Dayton,
O., with devotions and methods.
A delightful tea was given Thurs
day afternoon at the home Of DR.. and
Mrs. L. L. Carr. Mrs. Carr is our cour-
tesy lady, and she with her assistants
gave members of Camp Clean and the
adult school, with other friends, a
cordial welcome which will be remem-
bered as a very enjoyable occasion.
Mrs. j. M. Knight resigned as pro-
gram chairman. She had many good
reasons, but we know that though we
are losing Mrs. Knights activities
from the school, her interest will al
ways be with us.
After much persuasion, Mrs. F. l.
johnson, of St. Cloud, Florida, con-
scented to accept the general chairman
ship Mrs. Johnson is not new to US,
for she had promoted the school for
many years and was chairman for sew
eral years previous to the chairman
ship of Mrs. Rebecca Dodge, of New
York.
