COOL DAY AT BETHANY.
Address of j. G. Robinson, of Spencer
Camp Notes and Arrivals.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
BETHANY PARK, Ind, Aug. AFTER
the rapid succession Of conventions.
with their full and varied programmes, a
day like this was a welcome change to the
Bethany family. The day was delightfully."-
cool and the services were well attended.
The family prayer meeting was led by
Mrs. P. R. Gibson, Of ST. Louis ]. W.
Youngs, who to give address at
3 o'clock, failed to come, and the hour was
spent in social way At 10 o'clock ]. c.
Robinson, of Spencer, gave an address that
was decidedly novel. his subject being. "A
Voice from the Pews.''
Bethany audiences have been favored with
many voices from the pulpit but for this
morning the preachers had TO listen to
some plain facts presented in a telling
manner. The speakers central thought
was, Preach the Gospel" Among other
things given as advice to ministers, he
said: "If you write pretty essay, leave 1t
at home; if you wish to deliver a lecture,
hire a hall to deliver it in; if you write a
religious novel. find a publisher, and if
you feel like plCnging into politics to set
the world right, take BATH
In his comments on the scriptural injunc-
ton, "Go we into all the world and preach
the Gospel" Mr.. Robinson paid a tribute
of respect to l.. l.. Carpenter by saying,
THE word go is sure specific for obesity.
Take, for example, the spare frame of the
patriarch of Bethany Assembly. Early in
his ministry the word go was implanted
in his heart, and he has been on the go
ever since.
This speech was greeted with much ap-
plause.
After the address President L. L. Car
penter made a stirring appeal in behalf
of Bethany Assembly rally day The 10y
atty of the Bethany family is being ex-
pressed on all sides to-day, and many
people are taking shares of stock Others
are talking of building cottages before the
next meeting of the assembly. This after

MUCH RELIGIOUS FERV0R
SOME COMPLAINT MADE OF PLAIN
TALKS OF THE SPEAKERS.
Attendance Bethany Campers
Enjoy the Cool weather.

In the forty years that Acton Park has
been occupied by a camp meeting assembly
it is probable that the old wooden taber-
nacle never witnessed such religious
thusiasm, if such it can be called, as took
place at the services of the Holiness Asso-
citation yesterday. Those who were present
far since this association commenced. The
altar services and remarks of one of the
preachers were the sole topic at the park
last evening, although the members of the
Holiness Association did not appear to
think anything out of the ordinary had hap
pened
Bright and early yesterday morning the
big bell announced the prayer meeting, and
cool breeze caused this and all the serv-
ices TO be well attended. Every meeting
yesterday was enthusiastic, but the serv-
ices of the afternoon were the most lively.
1t was at this meeting that the talk of one
of the leaders caused so much comment.
The reason for the utterances of the speak
er seems to be a lack of mourners at the
altar. After a prolonged appeal few per-
sons went forward, and it was at this time
that the leader became 80 vehement. 1t is
said that he grew exceedingly excited and
declared that those in the rear who did not
go to the altar were too proud. and if they
did not confess Jesus they were sure to go
to hell. He also hoped that before they re-
tired their pillows would be pierced with
thorns and that they would tear the bed
clothing. The speaker hoped God would
show them how wicked they were K
feature of the altar servises yesterday was
an attempt to sanctify a young Hebrew
and a young Jewish girl and to convert
them to the ideas of the Holiness Associa-
ton. This scene was a pathetic and Pc
culiar one. The young man is preparing to
be a rabbi, and while at the altar, ii is
said, he asked the preacher what proof he
had for the statements he making.
The answer of the leader could not be I'M
derstood. Later when the preacher was
asked If he had succeeded in sanctifying
the persons at the altar he said they were
not there for that purpose, but to be aided
in getting back, as they had been back
sliding.
The many scenes of the day at the park
were freely discussed by outsiders, but the
members of the Holiness Association were
at the services. In one or two instances a
leader of the church was asked if the speak
er had made a certain statement and the
inquirer was Informed that possibly he had
said something like il.
A very enjoyable feature of yesterday S
meeting was duet sung by Mr. j. NJ. Har-
ris and wife The song Long Ago" was
one of the most enjoyable of the musical
numbers during the session.

LIFE IN THE NAVY.

If you have an idea that life in the
United States navy is all roses and lemon

ii is a hard life, either. The sailors are not

because there are more TO do it. On
cruise in time of war the chances are
that they will be a very busy company.
but as war does not happen often, the
reasonable certainty is that they will have
all the sleep and play they need. The
officers are fixed for life and the men are
sure of continuous jobs so long they
behave and choose TO re-enlist. Sea duty
involves a lot of foreign travel, with OPP
portunities to buy curios that lady friends
declare to be perfectly elegant Being
away from theaters and restaurants by the
week together enables the thrifty TO store
money with the paymaster. a convenient
official, who has a safe. BY saving care
fully and remembering the maxms of his
youth, a sailor can possess enough to go
on a toot for a week whereas your usual
graceless varlet has his toot first and then
is sequestered from temptation for six
months. There too, are the items of pretty
clothes with brass buttons, gold lace,
swords and chapeaux, though the wearers'
ask, in some bitterness, what is the use of
such adornment when ones lady friends
are ten thousand miles away.
Another advantage is health. The average
navy man is of the color of old oak or Of

stands watch at night and there are no
women friends to see him. / am speaking

course, when you are second officer or any
thing like that. it wouldn't do, perhaps.
The navy man prefers a Delmonico dinner,
but will eat a cheaper one IL he has 70, and
will sleep standing in a foot of cold salt
water. There are fresh airs on the ocean,
bringing red cheeks and crimson appetites.
And when affairs go on with too much
tranquility there are special drills and
exercises TO keep the blood in circulation
and beget more appetite; yet, 20 speak
again OF eating, it is notable that your

Furnishing "A Small Room.

New York Evening Post.
In furnishing a small room two neces-
sary points must be considered-irst, that
space is gained by making things as fiat as
possible against the wall, and second, that
stiffness is prevented then by introducing
plants and breaking the lines by pulling out
a table a little or turning a chair. \ low
seat sixteen inches in height running
around a corner and along one side of the
room TO some break OF door or window
saves space and furniture and adds a
charming effect. 1t should be upholstered
and have only an occasionally rather small
and carefully selected pillow. Low book
shelves. too. built against the wall furnish
without furniture, but care must be taken
that they are not extended in too con-
tinuous a straight line. carpet of a solid
color greatly increases the effect of space.
