OCEAN PARK.
Seventh Day-Muslcal Convention
Afternoon and Evening.

The Park residents note with regret that
this is the last week of the assembly. The
population has been very largely increased
by the advent of the members of the musi-
cal convention which began yesterday. The
hotels have all the guests they can accommo-
date and new arrivals are obliged to lodge in
the neighboring cottages.
At II a. M, Rev. Dr. Dunn gave the fifth
lecture in the course on "The Philosophy
and Conditions Of Revivals.'' He said:
"The philosophy of reviYals briefly stated Is
God The revival forces are conspicuous in Gods
plan everywhere In all organic matter there is
revival. Most trees make their annual growth In
the short space Of thirty days. Everything in ma
ture indicates that there will be times Of refresh
ing. So in religion there must need be these peri
DDS of revival emotion to enable men to sepa-
rate themselves to the Lord" Attention, anxiety,
faith and works are the conditions. 1t Is neces-
saTy at first to gain the attention. There are none
Of the methods of the Salvation Army so ridicu-
lous but they gain the attention and save some

very oddty will attract some. He who can win
the best attention by the best methods Is the most
successful.
The matinee and grand concert in the eye-
ming swere eminently successful. A very
high order of talent has been engaged and
the choruses show careful training. The
following programme was given with great
acceptance;

Mr.. Fred Gardiner, sooist.
Miss Eta F. Kileski has voice of rare
sweetness which was heard to especial ad
vantage i'll the second number.
The other soloists were well received being
obliged to respond TO encores for the audi
ence, though SMALL was appreciative.
We recommend to the committee that the
tower and vicinity, be made the parquette,
and extra price charged for reserved seats
under the windows.
Small as the admission fee is even COM
mon place entertainment should receive a
more liberal patronage. This concert is one
that would command dollar tickets in the
concert season.
Our Portland lovers of music are advised
that the entertainment this afternoon and
evening is one Of rare merit which it will
richly repay them to attend An entirely
new programme will be presented.
Mr.. H. K. Clark, musical director, is con-
fined to his bed with a severe attack of
rheumatism. His place was supplied by
Mr.. Frank S. Pierce who welded the baton
gracefully.
