THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY

At the 50th anniversary celebration, one of the most interesting items that occurred was the request for a compilation of the old songs liked most by most of the people who attended the camp. As a result of this, Mrs. F. C. Benson was asked to compile a list of these songs.

The writer found the song book which was used at that time and the list of songs which Mrs. Benson compiled as being the most requested. The list was as follows:

1. Honey in the Rock

2. Where the Healing Waters Flow

3. Sweeter Than All

4. Thou Thinkest, Lord, of Me

5. Sweet Will of God

6. The Cloud and the Fire

7. Lord, I'm Coming Home

8. Feasting With My Lord

9. Christ Is All

A special song book was compiled for this occasion, which included not only these songs but many others which had been sung throughout the fifty years of the camp meeting, but particularly including Amazing Grace and There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood. (See A Tabernacle Scene, #35.)

This is a tabernacle scene taken while Dr. Morrison was preaching. It shows the choir group in the old choir loft before it was redecorated by the Ladies Auxiliary.

One can also see the piano and orchestra pit on a level with the floor, which in the last few years has bee nraised to the level of the pulpit, which makes for much more efficiency in the music.

Note the list of workers for the next year, 1942. They are listed as: Bishop Arthur J. Moore, Dr. H. C. Morrison, Dr. Lloyd Nixon, and Dr. E. R. Overly. (Picture #35.)
