quiet of the island grove. All connection

down of Saturday. Sunday was beautiful
| and fair, and the Chautauqua visitors and
| the residents OF the island gave themselves
| to a round of Sabbath services such as it
| was the privilege of few anywhere to en-
| JOY. The days programme was as follows:

| led by Rev. Thomas Filben, of San Fran
| cisco. Rev. Mr.. Pomeroy, of Vashon.
| made the opening prayer. The sermon of
| DIR. Hirst WIS model of its kind. His
| text was John, $40 II, ITO whom shall
we go? thou hast the words of eternal
| life." and his theme "The problem Of the
| age" No outline could convey proper
| impression of the sermons beauty and
| look of every age for redemption, and the
| cutlery OF universal man for God in every
| age, and by master strokes indicated the
unique place of Jesus as Gods answer to
this cry and Gods great provision for this
demand. He analysed the place and work
| of Jesus to show how it met ali the require
ments of these conditions, and carried the
| application of this power into human ex-
| perience and with rare pathos pictured its
| splendid victory with man in the harder
| places of his souls life. 1t was a sermon
| few who heard it will ever forget.
The evening sermon was by Rev.
| Thomas Filben, pastor of the California
| Street NJ. +. church, San Francisco. His
| text was, Il am not ashamed of the Cos
| pei of Christ" 1t was a presentation of
| the essential excellency of the Gospel and
demonstration of the practical efficacy
| of its work.
The new hotel, under the Chautauqua
