 LYMAN BEKOHER COURSE.
 pr. Robert F. Horton Of London,
 England, Delivers His Second Lect-
 ure in Marquand Chapel.
 Dr. Robert F. Horton of London de- livered the second lecture of the Lyman Beecher course to large audience in Mar quand chapel yesterday afternoon. He spoke in part as follows:
 The whole book of Jeremiah, notwith- standing It's somewhat careless editing, fully comes up to the expectation created by its remarkable introduction. Elijah is good example of what man may be- come if he is true to the Lord, his God. Both religion and common sense forbid us to believe that all the laws of the Penta- tuch came to Moses by word of mouth from God. But whatever we know or whatever we do not know about Moses, we are certain that he did receive the word of God.
 We now come to the question of whether God speaks to his servants to-day as he did to the prophets of Israel. We have not reached 8 stage in this discussion yet in which this question can be definite ly answered. But I will read an extract from the life of O. G. Finney, who lived in the beginning of this century and reck- oned himself an atheist. "I was walking in the fields one day, my mind not being unduly excited by anything I had heard or seen, or was think ing about religion at all. Sud denly experienced a most tremendous sensation. And I heard @ voice that seemed to reach my very soul say: ''Eter- nifty, eternity, eternity" My whole man trembled and was subjected to the most intense excitement. The voice ceased and I spent the time that followed for days be- seechinR the Lord to have mercy on me. I was locking for some outward manifesto tion and my expectation was entirely of that nature" I cite this instance only to show that men to day hear the voice of God as the the men of the ages before us. tell you gentlemen the plans of the mercy of God work about the same in all nature and at all times. When you go forth among the people say to them, ssThus saith the Lord, i" whether they believe, or wheth- ] ei they forbear. pr. Horton will deliver the third lecture l of the course in Harquand chapel this af- l tssuoon at o'clock.

sTATUARY AND MUSIC.

Pleasing Entertainment Given by the Kings Daughters-Warner Hall Packed-The Empire Drill Admira- ply Executed by Sixteen Young
 Ladies.
 A delightful and interesting entertain
 ment was given last night in Warner hall
 by the Kings Daughters of the College
 street church. The hall was packed with
 @ large and brilliant audience. The enter
 tainaent consisted of groups copied from Rogers statuary, an empire drill, readings and vocal selections. It far exceeded the audiences antioipations. The groupings
 were very fine and were described by
 Mrs MeLane. The singing by the Freshman Glee club was ex- oellent and received many encores.
 Vocal selections were we'll rendered by Mrs. F. Bishop and Miss Neva Squires. The recitation by Miss M. G. Pendleton was rendered admirably and in response to an encore she sang lullaby song. The empire drill was one of the finest ever seen in New Haven, and not too much praise can be given to the leader, Miss Car rie Baldwin, for the admirable manner in which the drill was presented. The six teen young ladies who participated in the drill marched and oountermarched with WouosIIul BEaco Auo preclslon, ana Gna au- dience highly appreciated and vigorously applauded them. The costumes worn were strikingly handsome and picturesque, and each young lady who represented shepherdess carried shepherds crook which was gracefully poised and added to che attractiveness of the scene Miss Emma White accompanied the drill, and Master Thomas was drummer boy. Prof. Chandler was accompanist. The young ladies in the drill were Miss Bishop, Miss Barnes, Miss Emma Benedict, Miss Carrie Holmes, Miss Bessie Smith, Miss Jennie Hoggson, Miss Mabel Burge, Miss Bessie Bald win, Miss Annie Beck, Miss Laurence, Miss May Wadham, Miss Manwaring and Mise Kate Hofer. Taken alto gether, the entertainment was great suo- cess, and reflects much credit on those who have patiently and efficiently labored to make it worthy of the appreciation which the large and appreciative audience it. The proceeds of the enter will be used for purchasing piano for the lecture room of the church. The following was the program rendered: l
