The fertile brains of those Siamese twins
of ospel-selling salvation at Lake Mime
tonka must devise new schemes and new
lodges whereby to draw the dear people and
their shillings. The "denomlnational day.
plan don't work worth cent and some 9th
or catch must be concocted to enable them
% raise the wind. Yesterday was ''Congre-
gational day. and although the GLOBE had
spread abroad the intelligence that the boss
soul-saver at IS cents head was partially of
that faith, and IN point of fact aspired to The
ton in his city, yet in spite of all this, the
was perceptible falling off in
numbers from the previous day. Still
with the aid of local accessions and that of
the morning trains, a congregation of some.
two hundred and fifty persons had been got
ten together by IL o'clock within the sacred
precincts, about one-half of whom attended
the exercises, while the balance lounged
about the hotel or sauntered around the
grounds, regardless of the splendid oppor-
tunity for salvation through the instrument
tality of that dual embodiment of all earthly
piety, Bros. Gilmore and Keith, which they
were SO recklessly throwing away.
ORDER OF EXERCISES YESTERDAY.
The morning lecture was entitled, ssWork-
ers together with God,'' and was delivered
by Bishop Samuel Fallows, of the Reformed
Episcopal church of New York. Dinner was
then had, and at o'clock the Hon. Geo. r.
Vending, of St. Louis, delivered his lecture,
"Reply to Ingersoll from Secular Stand
point" Mr.. Weddings audience was by
far the largest of any which has yet been
in attendance, and was drawn thither dur
ing the afternoon by the fame of the
speaker, which had!spread abroad in the sur
rounding region and had attracted large
number of Southern tourists, who were To-
Gated at Excelsior and other points along the
lake. The lecture occupied upwards of two
hours in it's delivery, and was frequently ap-
plauded, but as it will be delivered in St.
Paul some night next week, the GLOBE re-
Trains from attempting even the briefest
summary of its contents. just before the
delivery of the lecture, Rev. P. G. Robert,
rector of the Church of the Holy Commun-
ion, of st. Louis, delivered an eloquent and
affecting prayer, and was followed by the
audience singing, "All Hail the Power of
Jesus Name" The evening exercises con-
sisted of a lecture by Prof. w. c. Richards,
of Chicago, entitled: ''The Matter Queen, or
Wonders of the Water.''
DIR. TowNsEND's PAY.
The officers of the association still persist
in strenuously denying the allegation of the
GLOBE that any trouble has ever arisen or
delay occurred on account of the non-pay-
ment of their lecturers and employees. The
GLOBE has heretofore published the facts in
reference to the Townsend matter, and again
seiterates all essential statements of that
tffair were substantially correct as published.
The pious fraud Deacon Gilmore emphati-
cally denies that Townsend was kept waiting
tor his money, and claims that there was at
the time in the treasury enough money to
defray all liabilities, and that the necessary
sum was borrowed of Hutchinson, the hotel
keeper, only because the key of the safe had
been mslaid and was not forthcoming when
wanted. But that pretense is rather too thin.
Deacon Gilmore himself was heard to say to
Townsend that there was no money in the
treasury, but now he comes forth and stul.
titles himself by pleading that he at
the time was speaking of the
Lake Park treasury and not of that of tie
Sunday school assembly, which is an entirely
different affair. But just what Mr.. Town
send had to do with the Park treasury, the
pious and truth loving deacon does not con
descend to explain. He was asking II his
money, and when Deacon Gilmore explained
that the treasury was empty, he meant, be-
yond all doubt, to signify the condition of
that treasury which was to defray the debt.
It was the Sunday school assembly which
nad engaged the lecturer, and notwithstand-
ing the evident bubble on words. it is cor
tain and positive that he meant there was no
money in the Assembly treasury to pay any
thing or anybody. But the pious old soul
who thinks it no harm to go into divvy with
| the steamboats, and take his share of the pro-
ceeds of
