MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, July 25.-The
scene at the Mountain Lake Park station
on the arrival Of the trains to-day, indicate
that the literary, religious and social world
is tending this way. -t..
Doctors of Divinity with their budgets OF
manuscript, big orators with distingue air,
editors, authors and the literat gem
erally. looking through their spectacles,
steps stpazr fha plafform into The hEldk of a
reception committee, and are slowed away
in the cool, fresh apartments which have
been prepared in so short q time that it is
impossible that any suspicion OF dirt Tor OF
bugs should prey upon the most morbid
imagination. .
Although the preparations are not as
complete as might be desired, for accom-.
modating the crowds who will be in at
tendance, vet wonders have been accom-
plished in Transforming this wild spot into
a splendid summer resort. 1t is all the
more ENJOYABLE because the hand of man
has not yet had time to interfere very
largely with the plans and fashion OF
natures own artist.
But whateyer it, may lack Il the matter
of incompleteness of preparation for liy-
ing, for eating and sleeping, it is quite sure
the programme provided for the ensuing
week lacks nothing that the most exacting
could suggest. and will go far toward max
ing every body forget any slight inconveni-
ences that may have to be endured by the
crowd.
The Association has spared no expense
in providing literary entertainment that
will be as rare and as choice as was ever
listened to upon an occasion OF this
kind. Some of the most notable lecturers
in the country are down on the list
Some of these are already on the ground.
DR.. Harman, who was formerly professor
in the West Virginia University, is here,
which many of his friends in West Vir-
ginia will be glad to hear, as we'll as to hear
him again from the platform. Among
other distinguished men on the grounds
are DR.. Simms, of Syracuse, DR.. Mosser,
President of the Assembly Association, DR..
Frysinger, Secretary, and others.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, W. ho will open the
Lectures, tomorrow, and who is one OF the
most forcible men on the platform, will
probably arrive this evening.
This evening preliminary platform
meeting was held in the large auditorium.
Informal addresses were made by Doctors
Mosser, Frysinger, Simms and Harman. 1t
was very delightful occasion, giving a
foretaste Of the great literary treat in re-
serve ..-...
Tomorrow the crowds of listeners will
begin to flock in, and the regular program:
me of the Sunday School Assembly will
open. 1t is confidently expected that not
less than five thousand auditors will be in
attendance, and there is no reason to be-
lieve that any body who comes will be dis
appointed-the disappointed ones will be
those who stay away.
