sub-treasury, and no one has ever
been punished therefor. On the
other hand.the sub-treasurer dur
ing whose administration the theft
was committed by an underling has
been promoted, made post-master
of st. Louis. Then why should
poor Runder have been sent to
prison? l cannot tell you why.
1t is significant, however, that
Runder is a Democrat. The thief
in the sub-treasury is a Republic
can. That makes vast difference
under Republican rule.
To-day Wednesday, closes the
First Annual Session of the Bap-
fist Assembly at Arcadia Heights,
after a most propitious week. The
weather man was in fine humor
and for six succeeding days gave
US the ideal summer resort article,
the seventh browning them with a
good old-time Baptist rain! This
last discovered to our visitors the
beauty of the Valley and it's
mountains new-risen and re-
freshed from the bath. Elsewhere
we copy from the Globe Democrat
an article written by a special cor-
respondent, giving in detail the
incidents attending the Assembly,
its manner of formation and it's
purposes. Therein are correctly
set down the proceedings on the
Heights up to Saturday evening.
But Sunday was the day of the
session, in attendance, in exercis-
es, and in interest. At an early
hour, hacks, Surveys, buggies and
wagons began to run, and until
noon the stream of visitors was
without intermission. 1t is esti-
mated that fully fifteen hundred
souls were gathered on the Heights
in time for the morning service.
This was conducted by DR.. j. P.
Greene and attended by excellent
song service. After that, the
MONDAY lunch. The hotel and
restaurant were taxed to provide
for their hungry guests, and scores
of families and parties spread
their ham and chicken-flled bas-
kets under the outrageous trees.
The mountain breezes sang to
them a. they lunched, and their
eyes Toasted on the beauties of hill
and vale, of rock and gorge, of
forest and field-a moving picture
simple and sublime under the ev-
exchanging light of the onward
sun-as they picked the wing and
pulled the wish-bone. The aes-
thetic and gastronomic are close
akin, and favored indeed the guest
by them jointly entertained. AT
three o'clock the dedication of the
Tabernacle to divine purposes
took place, Rev. w j. Williamson,
pastor of the Third Baptist Church,
st. Louis, preached the sermon.
He is an eloquent speaker, and the
big congregation followed his
sermon intently, with inward re-
gret that its termination came so
soon. The exercises concluded, a
call was made for contributions
to the Assembly. The responses
were numerous and liberal, rang
ing from S. to 500, and when
summed up aggregated about
S2,035. But the most gratifying
attendant to the meetings, to the
local mind, was the enthusiastic
approval of the grounds and their
surroundings. DR.. Williamson
seemed to express the views of all
the visitors in his unstinted praise
of the Heights. He predicted a
glorious future for the Assembly.
The details of Sundays exercises
are given in 'Uncle Isaac's" letter
from Des Arc this week, and it's
reading is commended to the
REGISTER readers. May unbound,
ed success attend the Assembly,
future!
