CHAUTAUQUA NOTES..

With the mercury ranging from 1O1 to
10 in the shade yesterday it was not to
be expected that people would be very
faithful in devotional services, but the
Chautauqua Sunday school had 1872 in
attendance. This was nearly as many as
the Sunday before when 2O6 were pres
ent. Harry Cable of the X. P. band was
superintendent and Miss Norton Of Dell
Rapids secretary.
An audience twice the size of the
school gathered to hear Rev. a. E.
Thompson at II a. m. The musical nc
compartments were the best on the
ground and the discourse, based on job.
26:l4, told OF the magnitude and sub
Unity OF nature in a truly spiritual and
edifying way.
In like manner, Prof Dana, att the
afternoon service told OF the beauties OF
the bible, which was followed by ives
pers." the grand sacred concert in the
evening had a genuine spiritual uplift
the pieces sung ind played by the best
OF talent and instrument beiLg the old
familiar hymns which appeal to the
heart.
The round table this morning Was edi-
fed a shorts time in listening to Prof.
Dana expound the argument for woman
suffrage. When a man bought a barrel OF
honr for 50 and put it into the house, he
thought he was doing all the hard work
for the FIRMLY, but when the had
baked it up into bread, pies and cakes
which would have cost $15. at, the
bakery, she had just put SO worth more
Of muscular work into the keeping of the
family than the man had done, and was
entitled to as many privileges as he was.
Tomorrow will be Recognition or
graduating day. The exercises will begin
