SECOND DAY,

SECOND DAY,
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 18th.
Exercises for the day opened at $40
with morning prayers conducted by
H. NJ. Barker.
At 8 a. IN. the class in GLORIOUS drill
was organized with Prof. Vance con-
ductor. The conductor is an organizer
of much ability and is supplemented
by his wife at the piano. This exer-
else is certain to he one of great profit
to all that participate. And not only
that but the class will be a source Of
pleasure to all in the assistance 1t will
render in Sunday and other song SER
vices. The wisdom Of the manage.
ment in engaging Prof. Vance is this
early made evident.
Dr.. Freeman was next introduced
in "Literary R~ecreations'! for the first
study the Midsummer night dream
of Shakespeare was taken. llr. ex.
hibited a thorough knowledge Of
Shakespeare and 1t is no surprise that
the popular verdict is that in his re.
cent tilt with Ignatius Donnelly upon
the Shakespeare Bacon theory, the
DR.. taking the Shakesperian end
of the argument, he rather worsted
the versatile Ignatius. 1t may be
set down as indisputable that all hav-
ing any love for the study Of Shake
speare will mss much if they fail to
be present at 10 o'clock each day and
study their favorite with DR.. Freeman
as conductor. Those attending should
take with them their copy Of Shake
speare.
John McMullen was introduced and
gave q concert solo, accompanied by
Mrs. Prof. Vance at the piano.
Rev. P. E. Holp followed with a lee
ture upon 1.-THE Almighty Dollar The
reverend gentleman is an orator Of no
mean ability. He has filled the larg-
est halls Of Sioux Falls Sunday even
ing after Sunday evening, in fact it
that secured for him a place on the
program here. Those that know him
weraaBot disappointed yesterday.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session opened with
the chorus drill by Prof. Vance. A
very material addition had been
made to the number since morning, so
that already the class is a large one.
Prof. Vance has had much experience
in his line Of work, and is as com.
petent as any man in Nebraska. Be-
fore the close Of the assembly he will
have an immense class.

Mrs. II. NJ. Barker's school of
methods occupied the time.
Those who may not have known
what a round table was found out
this afternoon. For the benefit of
those who may not have been there
the STAR will say that the round table
is devoted to 9 discussion of G. L. S. G.
work; that is to creating an interest in
this line Of work. This may not scare
any as the subjects discussed are
general. A question box Is conven-
iently near for the use Of all. In fact
the round table is one Of the most
profitable feature Of the assembly.
