4 RICH FEAST.
At Ohautaugna-Ambross NOurse and
Iaymsn-Eduoational Work
Dominant.

liz his lecture, sGiye Inn a Lift" yes
terday afternoon, James Clement Am
brose took OCCASION TO say some very
plain truthsin a very pungent way. He
ridicnled il bis biting sarcasm the idea
OF making wealth instead OF culture the
aim OF life. Such maxims rs, "Live
within your means" Large ~heartedness
liftsahumanity, = Cleanliness is next to
godliness,n were exemplified in q way
that must have made thu. richssthe spend
thrift and the lazy vince. His plea for
industrial education was strong and his
arraignment of c~apitalistic trust was
pleasing 10 the populist a while his
structures on organized labor were no
less severe. MIR. Ambrose, after an
hours talking was just fairly launched
into a fine panegyric Of populism and
farm life when the heavy rain storm
drowned his voice and the audience
broke up.
CHORUS ROUNDUP.
About sixty singers joined Prof.
Kratz's assembly chorus last evening
and received athorough drill in first prin-
ciples. The chorus, however, il short on
tenors. The professorlwants q number
more OF tenor singers TO preserve the
balance and harmony OF the chorus. He
intends also to select q dozen gentlemen
and drill them in the singing or several
war songs for G. A. r. day, and will have
several realistic campfire M in con
nection with the occasion which promises
to be very fine.
THE GoNcERT.
The playing OF the Collins band was
more highly appreciated than ever last
evening and the audience was 10th to let
them go at the close OF their perform
ance. The .Anvil Chorus" and Rail
road Gallopr were especially realistic
and entertaining.
ROBERT NoURsE AGAIN,
but what shall we say or Robert Nourse
in his presentation OF that wierd romance,
''Dr. Jeykil and Mr.. Hyde He drama
tized it with terrible earnestness and il
10 terribly earnest without dramatization.
But taking the story as . text, he elaboi-
ated Q lecture on the dual nature of man
with apower, vlvidness and analysis that
was startling. Not an auditor moved
except when convulsed with laughter,
until the very last word OF the lecture
had been said. Man as the embodiment
OF philanthrophy and murder, OF good
ness and crime, Of divine and human,
was dissected and made to stand out az
two personalities in marvellous distinct
ness. The horrors OF opium eating,
drunkenness, hypocrisy and ~6endishness
we're strikingly depicted, and the human
being turned inside out. The moral
nature Of the individual should most
concern mankind as il determines beau
ty. According to bis morals viii . man
become q DIR. Jeykil Or q Mr.. Hyde. The
characteristics of all our literature is
based upon this duality OF man. Each
man has the making OF himself, and re-
ligion which 10 mo Christianity by any
means 10 necessary and possible in each
man as each man has good and bad in
him. This has been the greatest treat
or the lecture platform.
EDUCATIONAL WORK.
The educational work OF the assembly
is its most promising feature. Supt.
Kratz informs q DAILY LEADER re-
porter that seventy-five studeLts are al
ready enrolled in the different classes.
There are classes OF from ten TO fifteen
in d majority Of the studies and about
five hours OF each days time 10 occupied
in this kind of work. tt crowds the
students to do this and attend the popu
lar lectures also. In addition to the
regular curriculum OF the higher ednca-
tion OF the schools, have been started de
partments OF Normal Sunday school,
Bible and Christian training Institutes.
We have visited many of these and lind
the members OF the classes intensely
earnest.
today Hon. n. N. Kratz took charge
OF the s. 8. normal work with a large
class and will do likewise tomorrow, in
discussing the Land OF Palestine and it's
People.
The greatest novelty is the kinder
garten work OF Miss Lloyd where a
dozen 81 fifteen little "tads" with az
many mothers and teachers around TAX
ing lessons, r bnsily engaged watching
the ingenuity OF the teacher in entertain
ing and instructing the restless little
LAYMEN's CONGRESS-.
This gathering fell into q very inter-
ested discussion of the saloon problem.
Hon. r.. b. Hassell OF Redtield, presiding,
Prof. Walsh gave hia personal views of
the situation which slmmered down were
that prohibition cannot DO enforced nm
