Dewitt Talmage was the drawing
card, and the attendance was never
equaled before, except on one occasion.
when Bishop FOss opened the Chautau-
qua grounds at this place. His lecture
was given at $3.50 in the afternoon in
the pavilion. This was crowded to the
doors. Mr.. Talmage's subject was
big Blunders." He believes that there
never existed a man who had not made
a blunder, if there had he would have
died young. Mans plumbers began in
the garden of Eden. The first blunder
he considered was doing multiplicity
of things. One thing is all that a man
can do well, and therefore he advised
that one find his sphere and keep it.
It is only occasionally that man is
prepared for several occupations, and
then he reaches success through great
struggle. Young man." said Dr.. Tai
mage, concentrate all your energies in
one occupation. and be not afraid
to be called man OF one
idea. Every man gets cali
from GCd to do one thing. There is
not another person in the universe who
with great zeal, and when it is done it
is finished forever. Neglect it and it is
neglected forever. Ii you concentrate
all your powers upon one subject, earth
and he'll cannot prevent you from be-
coming a great power" The second
blunder he considered was indulgence
IN bad temper. In no nation is
it so ineXcusable as in this
country" continued DR.. Talmage,
"rhiS is the most attractive country
on the globe, for if it were not so we
would be going to other countries in
stead of having people coming here.
This fair earth of ours is full Of music,
and we would hear it we're our ears
acute enough. Even silence is music
asleep" The
EXCESS OF ADJUSTMENTS
was the third biunder considered. He
did not desire to say anything diSpar
aging of such sport as base ball. He
was never more happy, he said, than
when seeing other people enjoy them
selves. But still he believed that there
could be too much of amusement.
"ShOW me a man whose sole object
is fun. and | will show you man who
is going straight to ruin. There are
battles in lite which cannot be fought
=
blunder is the formation of the wrong
kind of domestic relations. A man who
is cross and Surly IS more of pest than
if dead drunk. Many man is wrecked
in business because of an uncOngenial
companion. If you find man in that
predicament tell him that | said he
should try and keep his courage up and
whistle most of the time. When
man marrieS it is either for heaven or
hell, and it is more so when a woman
marries. l have often noticed the APP
parent success or failure of some man.
If the truth were known it would be
found that there is a silent partner at
home, and she is not always silent.
There is no need of man picking up a
flint and pressing it to his heart when
there are so many polished jewels"
Mr.. Ialmage believes that there were
never SO good women living as now.
When man has a poor opinion Of
woman. that man is bad one.
Another blunder considered was at
tempting life without an abundance of
enthusiasm and enterprise. The age is
a fast one, and the slow man Will be
left. The speaker is no lover of some
of the church music. It's advancement,
he considers, is in the wrong direction.
THE EVENINGS ATTENDANCE
was almost as large as that of the after
noon. Many of those who had come out
from the city remained over and spent
the early evening hours boating on the
lake or partaking of an evening meal
beneath the trees, whose waving tops
overlook those beautiful waters, At 8
O'Clock the people were loath to repair
to the tabernacle. but shortly after the
appointed hour, fully 1000 people had
gathered to hear the second lecture of
Peter NJ. Won Finklesteln. the famous
Syrian lecturer. His lecture was on
the Homes and Haunts of Jesus, the
Fellaheen, or Farmers of Palestine"
1t was an Interesting and faithful
description of the home life of those
people, He severely criticised some of
the modern travellers who have visited
Palestine and having seen a little of
the life of those people and read less of
their customs, proceed to write his
tory of his people. Very seldom, be be-
lieves, is his country done justice. The
not the best Of the land,
and are very ignorant. Mr..
Won Finkelstein was dressed in the ma
tive costume.and had assistants dressed
in suits to correspond with the dresses
worn by the various classes of society.
The lecture was lengthy, but few, if
any noticed this as diSagreeable feat
ure.
He threw welcome and unweicome
light upon many OF the Bible stories
and incidents. His explanation Of
dancing in the Bible was perhaps not
very welcome to some of the young
ladies'. In his counting the men dance
together, as do also the women. No
where. he said, was there any mention
of a young lady dancing with all male
companion with an arm
ENCIRCLING HER WAIST.
At the close of the lecture a great
many adjourned to the club house of
the Y. NJ. G. A., where watermeIons
were served up. The services to-day
will be in keeping with the day. At
