WINONA LAKE ASSEMBLY.
Church Hymns Barred from COnven-
ton. Cigarettes from Grounds.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WINONA LAKE, Ind, July 23.-The pro-
gramme at Winona Park to-day was SINH
lar TO yesterdays. In the morning DR.. w.
G. Moorehead preached his usual sermon
on Bible study. with the book of Hebrews
as his subject. The doctor is aided in some
of his morning conferences by prominent
members of the clergy who are visiting on
the grounds. The Rev. Russell Conwell
gave the second of his lectures in the after
noon.. There was a large attendance. In
the evening Mrs. Bertha Kuntz Baker gave
the comedy Nance Oldfeld." Great
preparations are being made for the ma
tiOnal convention of the Young Peoples
Christian Union. which will meet from
delegates are expected. Among the we'll
known workers are President w. i.
Nicholl, the Rev. j. Wilbur Chapman, the
Rev. j. *. McClurken, ID. D.. w. w. Whyte,
d. D.. the Rev. c. f. Wishart and the Rev
Oliver Johnson.
Only psalms will be sung at the conven-
ton. The Rev. DIR. Crooks, of Atlanta. to
day began instructing the Winona chOruses
in singing them. The taboo of hymns is one
of the doctrines of the United Presbyterian
Church. Many reasons are given for oD-
jecting to the ordinary church songs and
hymns, but the principal one is that men
to-day write such foolish words for church
music. Many of the most popular church
hymns are cited in proof OF this assertion.
The psalms, however, are rOrceful and
sound theolOgically. 1t is pointed out that
an analysis of the hymns sung in churches
many times shows that they are in direct
variance with the sect doctrines of their
users. The singing at the national conven-
ton this week will be one of its great
features. Frank Buriff. the noted PittsbuTg
director. will bring a special choir from that
city. and II. q. Smith. the New YORK leader,
will conduct the evening song services in
connection with DR.. Chapman's sermon
cites.
Delegates have already begun to arrive.
The special trains will begin to come in
tomorrow morning. President Nichol, Vf
Missouri, and other officers are here. The
tents have been put up for the campers.
The Winona Assembly rule against smok-
ing cigarettes on the grounds has been
violated this year. but notice has been is
sued that the cigarette must be dispensed
with at once.

BLUFFTON, Ind. July 23.-The sermon
preached on Sunday, July IA, by the Rev.
Clarence G.. Miller. at the funeral of ex-
Representative A. N. Martin, has given
rise to a controversy between the Session
of the First Presbyterian Church, of which
he is pastor, and the Wells county bar. The
Session, the official body of the church,
adopted resolutions Sunday declaring that
the sermon met with the hearty approval
Of the church membership and citizens
generally. and entering Il protest against
the alleged false reports sent out to the
press.
To-day the members of the Wells county
bar met and passed resolutions with SEN
timents contradictory to those expressed
by the church Session. and in which they
declare that it was a "cold-blooded, heart
less and cruel dart at the bleeding hearts
of his wife and daughter. and an insult
to his friends" They declare it improper,
unjust and unkind. They contradict the
statement that the sermon was generally
approved.

WABASH, Ind. July 23.-An employe OF

narrowly escaped a terrible death this
morning. Undertaking to clean grease from
his trousers with gasoline, he saturated a
large expanse of the garment with the
fluid. The action of the gasoline in taking
out the grease did not please him, and he
thought he could burn the stuff of the
goods without injuring them. When he APP
piled the match there was a flash and with
a shrek the victim attempted to tear the
flaming trousers from him as he ran out
the door. The presence of mind of a travel
ing man who intercepted him and wrapped
him in a coffee sack alone saved his life.
He is badly burned.
