Flanked in later days by a line of resorts including Asbury Park and Bradley Beach, both developed by astute Mr. Bradley, Ocean Grove acquired in 1876 a big auditorium in which spoke not only religious leaders but Presidents of the U. S.-Grant, Garfield, McKinley, Roosevelt I, Taft, Wilson. Last week, when it reached the height of its most successful season since 1929, Ocean Grove was still a predominantly Methodist theopolis, one of a few communities left in the U.
