''BUTTONED UP MEN"
Rev. Robert McIntyre's Lecture
at Chautauqua.
DRAWS OUT SMILES AND TEARS.
DE-. Cherrington's Fine Discourse on
"The Literature of yndia"-The Pro-
gramme for Today.

The bright programme Of yesterday at
tracted many persons to Chautauqua from
both Seattle and Tacoma.
In the morning DR.. Cherrington lectured
on ''The Literature of India" a subject
with which the eloquent minister is thor
oughly familiar. He had q board on
which he illustrated many of his most
telling points. The pavilion was well
filled with interested listeners. At 2 p. m.
the auditorium of the assembly was
crowded to its utmost capacity by an ex-
pectant audience that was completely car
ried away by the wizard orator of Colo
RADIO, DR.. Robert Mcintyre, who held it
spellbound for two hours while he dis
coursed in his own way on "Buttoned-Up
People" The subject was divided into
two sections: The buttoned-up people
of the home and the buttoned-up people
of society. In his opening remarks the
lecturer made every bachelor without
honorable intentions" feel very uncom-
Portable by stating that the only thing
God at the creation pronounced mot
good" was the bachelor Adam,
and when he had described the
numerous grotesque monsters OF
the carboniferous ages which were all pro-
nounced good, he said that it showed the
estimation in which God held bachelor.
1t brought down the house. Buttoned-up
people in the home were described
as buttoned-up in business cares
and 'in the mad struggle to get
to the 'front.'" whereby wives and chill
dren were neglected, and the sweetest
nectar of the cup of life was untasted. In
concluding this part of his subject he
stated that 1.-The fearful wailings and awful
agony so often seen at funerals was caused
for the most part by bitter recollections OF
opportunities alas, forever part aof mani
testing love to the dear departed. The
love was there, but it was buttoned up.
The audience was often moved to tears
by the pathetic descriptions of home
scenes and home love, and just as often
this wit and humor would brighten, cheer
and convulse.
The second part of the lecture was very
rich in oratorical display, and also Iull OF
"heart thoughts" He said the tendency
of American cities toward the caste was
one of the chief dangers that threaten the
republic and was against the principles OF
the constitution. His final peroration was
word picture of the Chicago fire, showing
that not only was Chicago cleansed from
her seltishness, but the great cities of the
earth had reused in them their buttoned-
up hearts of human sympathy and gave
forth generously food and clothing and
money in vast abundance.
