PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE SQUAD.
Yesterday afternoon the Minnetonka Lake
Park management, or in other words, the
Lords anointed, repaired to ravine in
front of the hotel and there had their pic
lures taken. About dozen, of whom those
pre-eminently pious workers in the cause of
salvation at rs cents q head were adding
and foremost in the foreground, 6ered
together when the camera was pointed at
them and q picture doubtless obtained which
will embalm in living amber for future gem
erations, the phizzes of the pharisaical ex-
pOnents of pseudo Christianity who are
now diligently bartering at Lake Minneton-
ka in the religion of Jesus Christ at % cents
q head. What the picture may be worth AZ
a curiosity in future ages the GLOBE pre-
tends not to say. Suffice it that as me-
mento of the specious and deceitful charac-
ter. of the wolves in sleeps clothing, the
Lake Park association are entitled to the
belt and will nc doubt wear it as long az
Gilmore and Keith rule the helm.
The readers of the GLOBE have long been
aware that salvation at the Lake park ia a
matter of dollars and cents, and not of mere
choice or inclination to goodness. It may
not be equally we'll understood that while
the necessary prerequisite to the threading
of the paths of eternal happiness is an adj
mission fee of twenty-five cents, it is equally
necessary in order to complete the cycle Of
eternal redemption, that the stranger
who has already paid the requisite fee
for entering, should also have the per-
mission of the elect and the anointed to
leave the premises. If the admission ticket
be lost or not presented on leaving the
grounds, the unfortunate seeker after eternal
life must fork over another two shillings be-
fore he can leave the sacred precinct and
tread once again upon secular and unblessed
ground. In this respect, of all the institu-
tions, Minnetonka Lake Park is perhaps a
little singular, but as the ways of salvation
through its narrow defles are devious and
uncertain, it is perhaps carping and dole
full spirit who can find it in his heart to
cavil and find fault.
The GLOBE has not abandoned its inten-
ton as previously expressed of presenting
its readers with other pen pictures of the
leading sanity brothers, who, with the arch
leader, the kicked-out Iowa deacon, Brother
Gilmore, are seeking to establish at Mime
tonka an opposition trysting place for Iowa
and Minnesota goodness as exemplifed in
the lives and practices of Gilmore, Keith &
Co., where these patient God fearing souls
can repose and be at rest. These will be
forthcoming in due season, and will be as
true to life as that of the rebellious Iowa
deacon, who, to vent his spleen for being
kicked out of Clear Lake, has sought to get
revenge by establishing rival place in Min
nesota on the shores of Minnetonka. Until
that date the readers of the GLOBE must rest
in peace and quietness, with the assurance
that they will lose nothing by the delay
When the pictures are finished they will no
doubt be finished productions, but still will
fall far short of the accuracy and natural
truthfulness of that which has already made
its appearance in the GLOBE and been scat
tered through the length and breadth of the
land.
