was Rev. ., w. Conley's subject and he
treated it ia most vigorous fashion.
He ID not agreat platform orator though
amost earnest and powerful speaker.
He pictured in strong language the evils
or crowded cities, the depth of degrada-
tl0n existing and the cold, glittering
tinsel OF selfishness on the part OF the
rich. This age is characteristic Of great
Icities, increasing at fearful rate and draw
ling their increase from the country.
This results from the social instincts of
man, aided by the steam engine and
facilities for travel, for work in mechan-
ical lines In the city, also by the adyer-
tising of tho press This rapid develop
liag OF cities produces poverty and
wealth he siums and bouleyards. Here
are the extfemes OF physical manhood
and wretchedness and degradation.
Also the extremes oe politics produced
By four factors-the press, leadership,
Organization and money-all concentrat-
ing in the cities. Corruption 10. every
form originates in the cities ard on the
whole municipal government IN this
country costs six times as much as in
England. Law is not enforced. Our
mayors instead Of having spinal col.
umn have spinal collapse. What is
the hope? Permeate the masses with
Influences which will lift them mp, re-
strict the building Of huge tenement
houses, drive party politics out of the
city government, push Christian work
in country and city.
Il. ''ovR COUNTRY"
Before the lecture of. w. Conley on
"Our Country" at Ii a. m. today the
Misses Evelyn Cooper and Cornelia
Meinhardt, of Burlington, Wis, played a
duet on the violin which was rendered
with such ease, grace and harmony in
tone and action as to call forth hearty
and prolonged encore, to which the
ladies responded with an equally sweet
number. These two young ladies are
going to be favorites with Chautauqua
audiences.
