Special Correspondence to DAILY LEADER.
LAKE HERMAN, june 17,-This being
the day observed by this people as the
Sabbath, the sound of the saw and ham
mer are not heard, and the busy
campers are transformed into a body OF
worshipers. The morning dawned
bright and clear; the sunshine cleaning
through the leafy canopy overhead, and
tinting the waters Of the lake with a
sllvery light; the chorus OF feathered
songsters fitting through the branches
OF the noble forest trees all consplre to
deepen the spirit OF devotion with which
this people approach their humble shrine
to offer prayer and songs of praise to
the Maker of the heavens and the earth.
The hours OF the day have been dill
gently employed with religious exercises.
A spirited social meeting occupied the
hour between 600 and 700 10. IN. At 8
o'clock almost the entire camp as
sembled at the auditorium for Sabbath
school. This was Immediately followed
by public worship conducted by Elder
| Warren, of Sioux Falls, taking fer his
text Let this mind be in you which was
also in Christ Jesus" Phil. 2:7. The
discourse was an impressive one, as the
moistened eyes Of many in the audience
gave evidence. At 2:30 p. m., another
discourse by Elder E. g. Olson, OF Iowa,
from Q Tim. 81, "My son, be strong In
the grace which in Christ Jesus" which
was we'll received. The audience was
then divided, the young people retiring
to the youths pavilion, and an hour or
more was spent in social service.
In the evening the lessons on church
and state were resumed. To further
show how this people have been able, by
the aid Of their understanding OF proph-
ecy, to make correct predictions
concerning the future the following was
quoted from a work published by them
early ten years ago: conscientious
obedience to the word OF God will be
treated as rebellion" As Il partial full.
fllment Of this prediction the speaker
introduced an article from the Michigan
Sabbath Waterman OF November, 1897
entitled rebellion Declared" in which
the writer, after quoting from the Amer.
lean Sentinel a statement OF the posi-,
ton of Seventh Day Adventists as tc
their right to refuse to keep Sunday
even when required by law, says 1--WE
are very much mistaken if Seventh Day
Adventists have not by the foregoing
atterances, and others equally wicked
and disloyal, placed in the hands of SO
ciety a weapon that will be used with
telling effect against them. The Ameri
can people are a patient people, but
they will not patiently bear with suct
disloyal u~tterances as those we hav'
quoted" Said the speaker, il the editol
OF the Waterman had lived inthe time
Daniel and the three Hebrews, he prob
ably would have declared them rebels
LAKE HERMAN, June 18.-At 8:15 q. m
Prof. Loughead spoke in the interests o
Union college, Lincoln, Neb. The pros

year has succeeded the most sanguin'
expectations. Although but two year
