Last Sessions mt Pine Lake.

Correspondence of the indianapolis Journal.
LAPORTE, Ind, Aug. 5.-One of the most
successful that have ever been
held at Pine Lake closed Sunday. The
assembly lecturers this year have been re-
markably happy. both in their choice of
themes and methods of treatment. Not at
tempting to exhaust their subjects they
have succeeded in suggesting great mines
OF truth for the hearer to explore for him
self.
Saturday morning DR.. Robertson deliv-
cred his closing address on 1.-THE Life of
Jesus" considering the Sunrise or
resurrection period" IL was a fitting
climax to the studies of the week. The
Rev. DR.. Shepardson spoke on 1.-THE Sin of
Ingratitude." This is one of the great
themes of this great evangelist and proved
TO be one of the most profitable of the
many rich things of the assembly. Satur
day night the annual steam boat ride on
Pine Lake was enjoyed. A short pro-
consisting in most part of the
music under the direction OF Prof. c. r.
Parker, with a few impromtu yet timely
speeches, made the ride very pleasant.
Sunday morning the Assembly Hall was
well filled for the closing session. After a
song service and a solo by Miss Edith Stott
of Franklin, President w. Il. Stott, LII.
D.. of Franklin College, preached the as
sembly sermon from the text II know that
my Redeemer liveth." 1t was a forceful
plea for positive Christianity.
Many of the guests will return TO their
homes during the coming week. The cot
tagers will remain till the close of the
warm weather. Before assembly season
next year many changes will be made in
the grounds. Forty-four lots nave been
sold and many of the purchasers will erect
cottages Immediately. With the twenty
five cottages already here they will form
a very pleasant summer village. The grad
ing has already been done for electric cars
to run from Laporte and Michigan City.
Many improvements In the already beauti-
full grounds are by the direc-
torate, and some already are under way.

a QUIET DAY At ACTON.
The COttagers Try to Keep Cool-The
Brief Services.

Yesterday was a very quiet day at Camp
Acton; the people were tired after the
hustle and excitement of Sunday and pre-
ferred the cool and quietude of their cot
tages to the heat of the pavilion. The
services were meagerly attended and the
usual enthusiasm was not aroused. Rev.
d. G. Bacon led the s o'clock prayer serv-
ice. At 1890 o'clock Rev. c. w. Ruth de-
livered a very interesting sermon on pure
Religion" He said that men insist on
purity in all else but religion. When they
buy whisky, it must be pure. 1t is the
same with baking powder. water, air, food
and politics; but If you speak OF purity I'm
religion you are considered an extremist.
Now. there is nothing complex in purity"
he said. 1T is the natural condition as
GOD made IL, and a mans religion Is not
to be judged by the man. His religion is
pure, but the man is not and cannot be
until sanctifed by the Holy Ghost" This
was the thought he wished to bring out,
and he explained the process Of sanctifica-
ton of man in a very simple way. At 1870
o'clock Mrs. Nellie Wines conducted a chill
dren's meeting, and at 3 o'clock Rev. Geo.
Mclaughlin talked from the text: AS chill

but according TO Him that hath called you.

services. To-day Rev. c. j. Fowler, pres
