er, even though it be hot, and the grove is
one of the coolest places to be found. The
usual classes are well attended, and all
speak In praise Of the assembly Of 1890.
Rev. ]. f. Clymer, the leader Of the nor
NAL class, is an earnest, wide awake speaker
and is giving to his students lessons of much
value. The topic Of this mornings lesson
was THE Sunday School," Under the head
what the Sunday School Is Not" were the
following statements: 1st, singing school:
I'd, sunday social; 80, circulating libra
ry; 4tb, substitute for family, for preaching
service or the prayer meeting. Under the
head What the Sunday School H." were:
1st, school, a teaching place, not place

The teacher uses the blackboard, and very
graphically talks and sketches to the little
ones of the stories Of the Bible. At the
cooking school the starchy articles OF diet
were taken up, several tempting dishes were
proposed by the teacher and much plain and
practical advice given to the class.
Ate p. m. a lecture was given by the well
known temperance lecturer, John r. Clark
of Buffalo, N. Y. Mr.. Clark spoke on Nor
al Heroism Of the Temperance Movement"
The fervent and enthusiastic manner OF the
speaker was explained by the statement that
he was reclaimed from an incorporate life
seventeen years ago through the efforts Of
the w. G. L. U. His life had been one Of
varied experience to the time of his reforma-
tiop, he having been on the stage for ten
years in the character Of an lmpersonator
and variety performer. He paid high trib-
ute to the organization Of the w. G. Il. u.
and the noble woman at Its head, Miss
Frances +. Willard.
At the close Of the address, after brief
rest, came the concert by the Cecllian
Quartette of Portland miss Lizzie NJ.

worth Merrill. second soprano; Miss Nettie
May Morrison, first contralto; Mrs. Jennie

The auditorium was filed and the pro-
gramme presented proved very entertain
ing. "The Lament" from Ben Hur). as
sung by Mrs. Morrison, was especially fine,
and after hearty applause she gave as an en-
core "Swanee River" Another very pleas
| ing number was "The Lost Chord" which
was rendered with much feeling by the
0uartette. as were also the solos OF Misses
Morrison. Brown and Leach. Owing to the
intense heat, Miss Merrill was unable to
gramme. She has just recovered from a
long illness.
