Another Summer Home at

FRANKLIN va. May 'SS,

DEAR FRIENDS:-For the last
8 five years l have been visiting
Mountain Lake Park in Garrett
Co. Maryland. From the very
s. first felt the Lord had set apart
that place tor great work !; and I
have become more convinced of the
s fact each year. We find there a
Summer Home preserved from
q grave moral perils, in a most Salu.
brious Climate; A Summer School
with competent instructors; A
4 Summer Lyceum with able Lee
lures; A Summer Resort amid
Superb Scenery, 200 feet above
4 tide water, on the main line of the
B. & O. R. R..
There also is Summer Train
/ ing school for Christian workers,
| free from sectarianism in the various
meetings held there. The Inter
State Conference of the w. G. T. U.
is held there each year; also the
Camp Meetings, Sunday School
Assembly &c. The Lord has won
derfully blest all these meetings,
and they continue to increase in
interest and number.
Mountain Lake Park is Just
what the churches of this country
need; place where Christians
may spend the Summer, and at
the same time be better prepared
for their Masters work in their
own communities.
From the first l have felt that
Faith Home" should be establish
ed on that Mountain, and Faith
Convention held there each season.
About three years ago / built
small Cottage, called Faith
Cottage" which has been used and
blest for that and other good work.
Last Summer we found Faith Cot
tage too small to accommodate
all who wanted to come there; 30
an effort 10 being made to build
larger one. Four lots and one and
a half acres of ground have been
purchased on a beautiful site; the
foundation of the building put in
tenant house and stables built on
the grounds; about fifteen hun
dred dollars invested. The house
is to have twenty.eight rooms, well
built and nicely furnished in
every way. It will take about
ten thousand dollars to mplete
and furnish the houee. We are
now waiting on those who are
enough interested in the cause to
become stockholders, and help US
forward. We wish to have this
home for guests who may desire to
spend little season in the prayer.
full investigation of the Scriptures /;
in waiting on the Lord for spirit
ual blessings and physical healing.
Our object is to bear united testi-
mony to these great essential
truths, ofthe Gospel of Christ, viz
Salvation through Christ for all
who believe; Complete Sanctifi-
cation through Christ for all who
fully yield themselves to Him Di-
vine Healing through the name of
Jesus fer those who believe and
obey Him. To promote tina wide
diffusion of these great truths and
principles, and lead children of
God into the practical experience
OF the fullness of Jesus, this home
is needed for the coming season.
l do hope the hearts of come who
are interested may be inclined to-
ward this work and be willing to
aid by becoming stockholders.
From my past experience 1 believe
there will be no risk. The proper
ty would be kept insured, and 30
managed as to realize at least 6 per
cent interest ON the money inves-
ted. Property there is increasing
IN value. 1t will be no bad invest
ment financially, and at the same
time be doing a work for the Lord.
Faith Cottage will be open for
guests the coming Season, also
Grace Cottage, the Home of our be-
loved Jennie Smith. May the in
tuence of this Summer Resort be
felt all over the United Statesl
