Jonah Life Reflections and Chautauqua Sermons in July

In Cuarravera Lake on July 13 a bustling Sunday program at the Assembly grounds drew a mighty crowd. Dr Harper expounded on the Story of Jonah, debating its literal, allegorical, and symbolic facets and noting the New Testament tie to Christ’s resurrection. Rev Dr McRobbie preached on knowing the love of Christ, contrasting human and divine love and praising the crucifixion sacrifice. A large audience departed to a lively amphitheater chorus, with multiple Sunday school sessions, prayers, and sermons across the day and evening, aided by leaders like Lewis Miller and Dr Duncan. A lake excursion and camp life accompanied the day, with jewelry theft reported at a nearby camp.
