CHAUTAUQUA MATTERS.

The sixth and last lecture in the Chau- tauqua Extension course was read We'd nesday evening, by Rev w. F. White. The lecture consisted of comprehensive review of preceding lectures and of 8 prophecy of the society of the future. It was shown that that society would be: |: l, scientific; }, democratic; 3, economi- cal; 4, social; ,, religious. The greater part of the lecture was given to the prop CT emphasis on the religious character of future society. It is the good man that must make that society. It was frankly admitted that the Bible furnished in sub stance, if not in detail, the best teachings on social questions, but that the church had not been alive to it's teachings. The church had lived too much in the next world and not enough in this. Christi anity was designed to help us better our condition here in this life. There is wrong, discord, friction and waste of en- ergy going on that Christianity can and should remove as speedily as possible. It is .our duty to be thoroughly Christian and to apply as fast as possible the truths of Christianity to life. To do this soci- ety must be studied to know when and | where to apply truth. People who cry loudly for better times and complain of wrongs will never have justice done them with a world full of immoral, irreligious men. This is the honest conviction of | the best students of society, and should cause every thoughtful man to stand l faithfully by the church of his choice,
 making it's power intelligently felt in les 1 sening the wrongs of this life. The pro. ceeds from these lectures amounted to | $22.
