MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, Mp, August
26.-Mountain Lake Park is having a
prosperous season. The most popular
hotel of the Park is the Mountain Lake
Park Hotel. This hotelh apicturesque
site among the trees n short distance
from the edge of the oak forest, in which
It is pleasantly and eligibly located.
From the vcranda the visitor has full
view OF the lake, which precipitates its
now turbid waters from its damned
SITE" roaring, boiling, foaming, as it
pIunges on down into the picturesque
Youghiogheny. This Park has deserved
ly acquired an extended fame during
the past few years. One grand, undu-
lating enclosure Of about nine hundred
acres, with nearly two hundred cottages
OF architectural elegance and beauty,
peeping from their seClusion in their
outrageous retreat among the grand old
monarchs of the forest, are part ofthe
Park great glory.
In front OF the hotel, beyond u grand
clump OF oaks, is a broad prairie, or, in
the vernacutar OF this locality, glade,
whose broad acres, adorned with bloom
ing golden rod" and many other name
less fragrant blooms, extend on the
south to the railroad and depot. On the
north to the postoilice and depot on the
south-a distance OF about two furlOngs,
or a walk often minutcs-eXtends across
the glade, a board walk iloored withtwo.
inch oak plank, and near the bridge
over the "Yough," which it crosses, is
n rustic lookout, denominated by the
residents here, "Pilgrims' Rest" stud
ded with rustic seats. Here visitors
may promenade amongst the sweet per-
fume OF fragrant wild flowers or sit and
view the parks grandeur.
Among the many places OF interest in
the environments OF Mountain Lake
Park which attract the visitors atten-
ton may be mentioned the falls OF
Snowy Greek, which are the falls Of
Niagara in miniature, including the
whirlpool-the Druid Park, Allegheny
Heights, Swallow Falls, Eagle Rock and
Boiling Spring, all OF which must be
seen to be appreciated. For health and
quiet comfort Mountain Lake Park can
not be excelled anywhere on this CONT
nent. A succession OF camp.meetings
have been held ut the Park during the
summer, and one is now in progress,
Rev, DR.. Boyle, Of Pittsburgh, to-day,
August 20, preached to very large con-
gregation. Text, "In my fathers house |
are many mansions He said this is
not rendered literally-purposc, to give
the glimpse OF spirit land-the visible is
the dial plate OF the invisible world. 1t
is the residence OF God. Hear thou in
heaven, thy dwelling place. He is every
where. l will fear no evil, because thou
art with me. The King saw the fourth |
person with the three Hebrew children
in the fiery furnace. 1t is to be the res |
idence OF his people. When children go
out into the world parents are concerned
for their welfare. God being our father
has built for us Il home. Finally he will
say come home, twill be the residence
OF large lamily-many mansions-they
will come from every cline.
Migration is to obtain Monochrome
and life here are uncertain-eYery-
thing here is changeable and uncertain.
Is there nothing certain? The Christ
ian's crown OF amaranth will never fade
away. Heaven is certain. Christ is
preparing the way and the place.
