LECTURE AND SONG, ALSO

The STORY of the Reformation, or the
Life of Luther" given in Hasbrouck Hall
last night, under the management of Mrs.
H. E. Munroe and Miss l.. !. Yale, and
under the auspices of the Lutheran League
Of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of
the Holy Trinity was a success. The
singing, acting and marching of the 100
persons who took part in the allegorical
and Grammatical portions of the programme
were all that could be desired. The cos
TUNES, with the exception of those worn
by the guards in the trial scene were hiss
| torically accurate. In this scene a detail
from the Fourth Regiment and members
of Palestine Division No. ] u. r. X. of P.,i
acted as guards of honor to the Emperor
and Eleetor. Their present day uniforms
offered a strange contrast to the Sixteenth
century costumes worn by the principal
Factors in the scene.
The story was told by Mrs. Monroe in
a lucid and entertaining manner and
was Illustrated alternately by clever act
ing and good stereopticon views. h
performance began and ended with
~allegorical professions in which over 100
| persons took part. The views were ex-
| cellent, especially those OF st. Peters and
the Vatican.
Before the curtain rose, Mrs. Munroe.
explained that any Catholics who might
be present need not be offended, as the
| church would be described and pictured
as it was in the Sixteenth Century, not as
it is today. The production opened with
an allegorical procession, singing Glory
to God" The six States of Germany and
| the States of the United States were rep
rasantedln the procession in the order in
which hey accepted the reformed
| religion
