A Monteagle Sabbath. No trains; no mails; no wagons; no carriages; no selling; no buying; no pleasure parties; no bustle; no "toggery." But-quietude; peace; bracing breeze; blue sky; clear air; billowy clouds; sacred song: Sabbath school; grand services; crowds of worshipers made thoughtful by the serene, the peaceful, the worshipful around; everywhere, rest, and praise, in the hearts, and in the faces of the goodly company. Such are the recollections of the Monteagle Sabbath; what divine strength they gave; Heaven on earth. they seem in my memory. And, Monteagle is bringing Heaven to our earth. through the host of beneficent influences she is gathering for purifying and uplifting body and soul. Religious Life. Each day is closed with Twilight Prayers, a beautiful service, into which old and young throng in a manner delightful to see. "The moral and religious atmosphere of Monteagle is all that the Christian can desire. God, his Christ, his Word, and his religion are honored in everything, in the purposes and conduct of Monteagle Assembly," says President Loos, of the Kentucky University. "The result is, the ennui of most summer resorts is here happily forestalled by the literary and religious privileges enjoyed during a large portion of the summer, of which each visitor may avail himself at his own pleasure," observes Dr. B. M. Palmer, of New Orleans. The Reception Room and Library. The common center of the social life is the Reading and Reception Room which attracts crowds of guests with its cool rooms and broad verandas, that look out over the great garden of flowers. The public receptions of each week, with their music and recitals, are free, and highly enjoyable. Under the direction of a committee of ladies, a Library is entering upon a prosperous career; books, daily papers, magazines, for the summer provided for every guest-all free to all. "The atmosphere up here is a great thing, the water is fine, the homes are good, and the mountain is a big thing, but the best thing of all is the hearty handshakes of the big-hearted Monteagleans. Everybody does something to make things pleasant.-Prof. Chas. Lane. Free from Vice. There are no saloons in all the region round about. All forms of vice are rigidly forbidden on the grounds. The people, old and young, give themselves up wholly to the enjoyment of the healthful exercises and entertainment provided for all. Consequence. "Everybody is happy. It is the pleasantest resort, according to my estimate, to be found anywhere in the country. I would not take anything for my part of Monteagle, though I do not own a dollar's worth on the mountain."-Chancellor Green. Prophecy. "Monteagle, where weary toilers come to rest, is destined to be the annual meeting place of a select, but ever-increasing, company of Christian men and women as long as the healthful breezes stir the forests on the Cumberland hills."- Bishop O. P. Fitzgerald. Board of Trustees Monteagle Assembly. R. W. MILLSAPS, Jackson, Miss. R. W. Millsaps, Jackson, Miss. .President. Treasurer. .Secretary. A. D. Wharton, Nashville, Tenn. The Platform. J. I. D. Hinds, Superintendent. Each summer the program of lectures, concerts, recitals, conferences, receptions, Round Tables, vespers, Sunday-school exercises, Twilight Prayers and Sabbath Services demonstrate that audiences can be entertained, delighted, and at the same time refined. and elevated. To the guests these furnish daily opportunities for rare and profitable enjoyment thus combining with the other attractions of the place to make Monteagle a summer home of the highest worth. During July and August, 1894, the following entertainments and exercises were actually given: Lectures and Entertainments.. .120. 36. 12. 50. 7. 13 4. 2. 7. Numerous. .....248.

LEADERS DURING SUMMER OF 1894: Dr. H. F. Fisher, Tennessee; Rev. Mr. Hawkins, Florida; Dr. J. T. Gwathmey, Vanderbilt University; Mr. E. W. Murphy, Alabama; Rev. I. D. Steele, Tennessee; Rev. C. B. Ames, Florida; Mr. A. D. Gunning, Mississippi; Capt. M. B. Pilcher, Tennessee; Rev. Mr. Carré, Louisiana. The mean temperature at Monteagle for July and August is about 70 degrees. At night the temperature frequently falls below 60 degrees; and, at midday, is seldom above 85 degrees. It is always pleasant in the shade, and the cool nights induce refreshing sleep and invigorating rest. It is particularly helpful to those whose nervous system is debilitated by disease, by the press of business cares, or by mental overwork. Dr. Atchison, who was for several years the resident physician of the Assembly, says: "I observed with surprise the rapid upbuilding of wasted strength and shattered constitutions. Sound sleep takes the place of insomnia, appetite waits on digestion, and cheerfulness rapidly chases away the shadows of care. You will find in the pure, cool mountain breezes a tonic far more invigorating than physic." THE MONTEAGLE OPENING OF 1894. SIX HUNDRED WERE PRESENT. THEY CAME FROM Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, Nebraska; fifteen States.
