our souls salvation. There are many other things
that seem to claim our attention, but they all
really belong to the one overshadowing purpose
serving God. This is the one affair of our lives.
The one question which each of us will have to
answer when we stand before the judgment seat
of God is, Have done well myself? not. has my
brother done we'll? We told that in olden
times people who talked about their neighbors
carried about sacks filled with the sins of them.
selves end their neghbors, and that they kept
their neghbors' sins in the front part of the sack
so they were easily come at. but their own sins
were kept hid away in the back end. Thus it is
we hold up to ridcule and scorn the faults Of
our fellow.men. but do not see own defects.
'Thou hypocrite.' exclaimed Lord, 'cast
out first the beam out of thy own eye. then shalt
thou to cast out the mote out of thy brothers
eye." Why should it concern you how other peo-
pie live? If would but attend to own affairs
we would find enough to keep us busy, and this
would be good world.

The Entertainment Given by the
Pupils of the College

At Burwell Hall, on the evening of the
18th inst, the students of the Colleg,
gave their first dubic entertainment
Owing to unfavorabIe circumstances oul
people were not generally aware of the
fact that the entertainment was to take
place at that time, but despite this dis
advantage quite a crowd was present
and beyond a doubt, the entire audience
was highly entertained.
| The program, which was well arranged
and we'll carried out, was substantially
as follows:
Opening chorus, in which the blending
| OF several full alto voices with bell-like
sopranos, flooded the house with a rich
ness Of melody and resonance seldom
heard there before.
Recitation, Feast of all Nations -
was recited chiefly by the younger stu
dents OF the College, who showed remark
able training and aptitude and whose
costumes were chosen with admirable fit
ness and pleasing effect.
The chorus from Les Huguenots was
recited in French by Miss Della Powell
with such expression and accent as re-
Elected great credit on both pupil and
teacher.
Schubert's Scherzo was rendered by
Miss Eva Fleming in manner to display
to the best advantage her uncommon
musical talent
Gefunden, gem of German literature,
was recited by Miss Theda Phillips with
such effect that though speaking in an
unknown tongue to most of her audence,
she was most appreciativey en- cored,
and at her second appearance, recited q
well known song of Heine
The esprit of Liberty pretty, pa
trlotlc poem, was recited very effectively
by Miss Halle Scott, who, most suitably
attlred IN dress spun, woven and made
by a venerable aucestress, personated
the spirit OF 1776, while Miss De Loatch,
as a fashionable young lady of 1876,
brought out in sharp contrast the changes
wrought IN century.
The 18th lmpromptu of Chopin was
most magnificently rendered by Miss
Mamie Chapman.
Mental Arithmetic was most naturally
recited by Miss Fannie Parker as teacher,
and Master Weldon Hardgrove as pupil.
The Professor and the Violets made
very attractive by the pretty, unique i'm
ltatlons OF violets encircling the faces of
the little ladies who participated, was
reclted with charming effect by Mr.. H. C.
Buchan, Miss Leona Currin and others.
The curtain now rose on the Muse of
History and eight Famous Women"
who SO perfectly personated the charac-
tiers represented that one almost believed
he beheld the originals.
Miss Chapman once more delighted the
audience, this time by her fluent, ryth-
mical rendering of Henrett's Love Song.
The Shakespearean Burlesque, an ex-
ceedingly bright comedy, was acted with
effect by Miss Jennie Shaw
as Juliet, Miss Theda Phillips as Portia,
Miss Fannie Parker as Ophelia and Miss
Eva Fleming as Lady Macbeth.
1t is safe to say this last performance
was up to the high-water mark of excel
lence attained by amateurs, and the
young ladies who participated may be |
on giving proofs of elocu- /
tionary skill rarely attained by those SO
young.
The entertainment closed with lovely /
Good Night Chorus.

Owing to the threatning weather
only 40 persons gathered at the Y. NJ.
c. A. Monday night to hear Rev. T. J
Ogburn on this subject. But they were
well repaid, for that gentleman was
thoroughly interested in his subject
and spoke with even more than his
usual vim. The points made were en-
phasized with argument and illustra-
tons. A few of them are given.
All men should attend the primaries
to assist in the selection Of proper can
didates. All should vote. and vote with
the party that most nearly represented
their ideas. unless both were entirely
wrong when one should vote independ-
emily. As the country must nave
money, it is ones duty to pay his hon
est taxes without Sinking by false val
uation. AS all citizens depend in
measure on each other, we should help
to raise those beneath us by education,
&c. AS the country's welfare depends
upon morality the citizen should sup
port those things that teach morality,
as churches. &C. AS this is a self-gov-
erning country we should remember
that we are responsible for bad laws.
The saloon men. for instance. are not
the cause Of whisky selling, but the
voters who permit it are responsible
and each iadiyidual alike.
The Sec ;tary announced that no
dates had been positively arranged for
other lectures. but that several gen.
tlemen were engaged in preparing
them, among whom were mentioned
Messrs. Zollicoffer, Henry. Pittman,
Cuninggim and others.

Eclipse of the Moon.

There was total eclipse of the
moon Sunday night, which was OBJ
served with wonder and admiration. It
occurred after sunset and was plainly
visible at this point. The eclipse was
caused by the moon passing through
the earth's shadow, and became total
at G:31 and continued so for the space
OF about one hour and half. During
that time the moon was of reddish or
copper color. 1t was a pretty vision
and attracted great attention through
out the country. The next total eclipse
Of the moon will occur in 1909.
