many things well, but the man who can
! do one thing supremely we'll is who we
want in this age.
A man wants to be determined to
know and do one thing. 1t is the un-
wavering and incorporating consist
ency that enables man to succeed to-
| day, what is wasted is purpose of ten
acity and tenacity of purpose.
He then referred in scathing terms
| to the French novel and other low toned
| literature and said that we have no more
| right to have knowledge of literature
or prostitute in book than we have
in reality, and the uncleanliness of
youthful mind at she present time was
not to be wondered at. The time is too
late now for man to be satisfied with
| an ordinary education for on the con
| trary he must aspire to an extraordinary
| one.
The speaker closed by saying that
| Jesus Christ is embodied in the ideal
| level best.

these exercises. Notes of the Year was
the subject of his treaties. The exer,
cises consisted mainly of general con-
versation with the members of the asso-
citation on the work of the past year, as
to how the various meetings had been
attended, what studies gave the most
trouble, and other points of the same
character. The Story of the Constitu-

THE EVENING SESSION.
The musical contest for the Sohmer
prizes drew out an unusually large crowd
of music-lovers. The contest showed an
unex expected degree of excellence in the
participants, and each and every one
gave token of having received excellent

the extreme to have attained such pro-
ficiency.

sion will be given today. AS will be

Rev. Newell then offered prayer, after
which the programme and announce
| ments were made by Rev. Charles f.
Winbigler, who then introduced Prof.
e, E. Barnard of Lick observatory. A
large screen was placed at the rear OF
| the platform on which were a number
of charts to which the speaker at times
referred, illustrating various points in
his lecture.
A stereopticon was in the center of
the hall and during the latter part of
the lecture illustrated to a surprising
| degree the features of the milky way
and numerous planets.
| The speaker fret gave brief outline
of photography as associated with
astronomy, showing clearly how the lat.
ter science was benefited by its younger
contemporary. But he said not until
the dry process had been discovered had
astronomy received much help from
photography. He then illustrated by
the charts how the Photographic plates
appeared and to an unfamiliar eye they
appeared to be a number of lines with
greater or less degree OF breadth. After
short talk on this part of the lecture,
the hall was darkened and the stereop-
ticon turned on. A number of exqui-
site views of Lick observatory and
Mount Hamilton were shown. Incl
dental to every view the speaker would
relate some pleasant connection or point
