against the parties, charging that they

was executed in fraud, the parties having

AT Mountain Lake Park for West virgInIA
Some Suggestions,

AT Mountain Lake Park for West VirgInIn
Some suggestions.
To NE Editor Of The Inteiiigaor.
SiR;-Ihers is a good deal Of quiet
talk in different sections Of the State
about tho expediency and the evident
proprieiy OF West Virginia being repre-
scented at Mountain Lake Park by Sab
bath School Assembly similar to that
which has been holding its sessions there
for several years
Mountain Lake Park is the natural head.
quarters for West Virginians In the sum
Iner soaEon; it is, in TACT, the summer
home Of many prominent citizens Of the
State. They already have their cottsges
there, The stock OF the Association is
largely owned by West Virginians, West
Virginians purchased the land, planned
tho park and have made 1t what 1t is to-
day. It is more accessible to the bulk OF
our population than any other resort, and
every year it is growing in favor, and the
number OF visitors from this State Is stead
lily increasing,
Nevertheless the only entertainment Of
the character to which ! refer, is furnish
ed from abroad, by an Organization com.
ing from Eastern Pennsylvania. West
Virginia hiss done nothing to utilizs the
advantages or to profit by the opportunity
which the pace affords for Sunday
School ASSEMBLY, yet no State nesd5 it
more. Sunday, School conventions in
West Vir. mia have been a comparative
failure. There B no unity among the peO-
pie or the churches In this cause. There
Is no active, well established organization
in the State OF the character referred TO,
Tho advantages of such an institution
with headquarters at the Park, would be
inestinablG; and 1t wOuld hayO promise
OF growth beyond anything that place has
known.
Can anybody offer reason why IL
should not he started at once, or an eX.
Cuse for 80 long negleCtiDg It?
1t has been suggested that Maryland,
which occupies about the same geographic
cal relation to the Park as West Virginia,
would have tho same reasons for cooper.
atng and uniting in the movement with
West Virginia, aud that together, the two
States could mako very formidable in
ELllUtlOu. L..
Tho movement ought to have u good
many friends in Wheeling, There ought
to be- enough men in the city, interested
in 1t, to get together at once and take the
initial steps. 0i course II should be- un-
denominaLional. Every Christian church
should unite in 1t. Why may not the
ministers Of the city who are accustomed
In hold Joint meetings, take uD this mat.
ter, consult their respective people, ap.
point q time when q general meeting shall
be held at tho Park next summer for or.
ganizltion, aud issue an invitation to all
the churches Of the State to send dele
gates.
II anybody has any better suggestion
than this for putting the enterprise on Its
tho press. / Would ike to hear from such
men as DR.. r. II, Logan, Rev. DR.. Gun.

and others. X,
