Arranged for Today.
The Chautauquans at Long Beach and
the many visitors there enjoyed one OF
the best programmes yesterday that has
been given during the assembly. A par
ticularly interesting and instructive ses-
sion was held when the star entertainers
OF the assembly took part. The attend
ance is gradually increasing.
MORNING SESSION.
The morning session was opened with
devotional services. led by the Rev. A.
j. Frost. At O'Clock the normal Bible
class resumed its studies. under the
direction of DR.. Charles Kent. The sub
ject was Micah, the Countryman. DR..
Kent is winning much admiration for
his ability in the teaching of the
scriptures. ~enf.
The remainder of the morning was
taken up by the various departments,
which met in their respective places,
pursuing the studies taken up on the
opening day.
Probably the most enthusiastic, and
one OF the most important departments
of the assembly is the school Of cookery.
1t is indeed an attractive spectacle to
witness the students who 80 earnestly
endeavor to learn the mysteries of the
culinary art as they should be learned.
The menus prepared under the direction
of Miss Whitaker are we'll worthy of
emulation in maDya household. The
menu to be prepared tomorrow consists
of Victoria cornbread, apple rolls, cold
meat patties, rough puff pastry, "eggs'
nest" and other pslatable dishes. This
menu will be the perfect delight OF the
40 eager culinary students. rs
The other departments have progress
sed equally well under their very able
leaders. An especial feature OF these is
the well-drilled chorus in charge of 0.
Stewart Taylor. The music is unaxcel-
led.
MR. MILLER's LECTURE.
In the afternoon a most interesting
lecture was given by Jahu De Witt Mil
Ter. His subject was Our Country; Its
Possibilities and Its Perils.
As this was Mr.. Miller's last lecture
the tabernacle was crowded with eager
listeners. He prefaced his farewell ad-
dress by saying that should the govern
ment fall in the future it will be tho
fault of the people. This country Is
valuable for what has been put into it.
Note the cost of the late war; to defend
an idea 1t cost the country many mil
lions. The war took the best men,
physical and mental material in the
country and cost blood and brains.
Three hundred thousand men it cost to
maintain one idea-the idea OF repub-
lie. ttstf
Our geographical location is matter
OF hopefulneHs for the future Of our
country we are hopeful on account of
our territorial extent; hopeful on &C.
count of progress. Oar condition now
has put unrest in the breast of every
monarchical nation. We are hopeful on
account of progress; on account of the
love of the north for the south, and of
the south fer the north.
Here Mr.. Miller attempted solution
Of the race problem, asking as to what
shall be done for the negro. The south
will never, he said, accept the black
man as social equal; we cannot live
with the colored race on equality, either
in the north or south. He favored
colonization of the negroes as the only
solution OF the race problem.
AS to the ballot, almost everybody
may vote, but every voter who leaves
home to deposit the ballot should con-
scientiously realize why, how and for
what purpose he disposits the ballot.
The peril of our county depends ON the
manner in which our law is enforced.
1t should be dealt to each who needs it
regardless of sex. In after years will be
known by our successors by the work we
have done and the history we have
made.
Following the lecture came the round
table exercises at o'clock. These were
probably the most enjoyable OF any dur
ing the assembly, and were led by Prof.
Josiah Keep, director of conchology
study. The afternoon programme was
most heartily appreciated.
