had its outing Saturday and Secretary
Wight, Elder Jordan, III. A. Miner and
DR.. VIM. III. Crawford, each and all gays
it a grand boost. Following these
Joseph Cook took up, by request, his
lecture, "The effects of Alcohol upon the
Brain" and with the white (albumen) OF
an egg which Is almost identical with q
large portion Of the matter OF the brain,
and q little alcohol he gave . very clear
demonstration Of the manner in which
the c-oarsness, brutality and helplessness
of the inebriate is produced.
PHYSICAL.
The exhibition given by the physical
culture class was more than an ordinary
treat. It was the demonstration OF the
wonderful results attained in ten days
in one OF our summer schools. The
child's exercise, the free arm movement
to music and song were a revelation Of
the art to many and the exhibitions
we're exceedingly well received. MISS
Melons faithful work rose appreciably in
the estimation Of the public when:they
saw it exemplifed.
'sAvoNARoLA."
DR.. VIM. II. Crawford gave his
strongest of all lectures, "Savonarola,"
in the evening, to an immense audience,
and al he described the studies, life-work,
and ~martyrdom OF the Florentine monk,
the beauties OF Florence and the wicked
ness OF the age in the 18th century, he
swayed and carried his audience along
with him in absorbing interest. 1t was
one of the grandest characters Of history
in n OF the most beautiful and wicked
cities OF the world delineated by a
master orator.
SUNDAY.
SUCCESSFUL DAY.
The day was a perfect one for a large
crowd and the crowd came. The num-
Der of entries were perhaps IS large,
with n or two exceptions, as any day
in the three years history of the asso-
citation. The audience which greeted
Joseph Cook in the afternoon and Tai
mage in the evening must have number
ed $500 people. The special excursion
from the east poured in a vast number
and the city and surrounding country
supplied the balance. Perfect order
and decorum prevailed. The hotel and
dining hall supplied promptly, the
former taking care OF nearly 800 and the
latter nearly 200 for dinner. The de.
mands for suppers were greater. The
motor line did its work eSpeditlously
and well.

THE SERMON.
Singing by the choir introduced the
preaching service, prayer was made by
Rev. E. Ell. Steel, Of Mitchell, DR.. Craw-
ford read the scripture lesson and Prof.
Moody sang a solo, "The Savior will wipe
every tear" DR.. Crawford took for his
text John 1:42-"Thou art Simon which
is called Cephas, which is by ~interpre.
tation a stone" The sermon was an
aole exposition of the character OF St
Peter and the prejudice that naturally
attaches to his anne among all churches
of Professionals because of the exalted
position Peter has held in the Roman
church. This spirit Of prejudice was
aroused during the Reformation and to
this day no Protestant church is ever
named after st. Peter, no Protestant
minister scarcely eyer preachessof Peter
or Mary the mother OF Jesus; but al
laud st. Paul, ST. John, st. Mark, ths
other Marys and 50 on. The preacher
thought this narrow and wrong. and IL
his eloquent plea for . Judgment Of 81
Peter on the strength OF his thirty
years work after Christ's death and mo-
on the three years. tickle conduct befor,
it, he made many converts TO his way q
thinking. At the close Miss Lilly Runall
sang the "Ninety and Nine" with /,
sweetness, feeling and compass never
equaled on assembly platform.
