FIRST or LECTURE COURSE
The Wesleyan Quartet and Miss
Boynton Gave the Initial En-
tertainment Tuesday Night.

The Lecture and Concert Course
under the direction OF the University
seems to be a permanent institution
In, Mitchell, and the opening attrac.
tion OF what portends to be a very
successful year was given at the opera
house Tuesday evening to an audi
ence OF such proportions as to cheer
the hearts OF the promoters and to
show that Mitchell people believe in
patronizing entertainments Of a high
class.
The Wesleyans and Miss Roynton
made good all the fine words that
have been said of them. Messrs.
Ireland, Farmer, Kenagy and Tues
dale sing their quartet numbers with
as fine effect as any quartet that has
appeared in Mitchell. Their voices
harmonize sweetly and every number
received a generous encore. and when
they Sang their plantation melodies
the quartet was encored twice. The
people were highly appreciative Of
the qdartet's singing and there were
enough humorous selections to break
the monotony OF a straight face.
These men sing with the true spirit
and with fine taste, bringing into
effect many little ideas that round
out their work all the better. Messrs.
Kenagy and Farmer both appeared
in solos and their singing received
merited applause. Mr.. Ireland
caught the crowd with his fancy
whistling, although a vocal solo
would have been appreciated.
Miss Boynton, the reader, was a
favorite with the audience, and from
her strong numter of the first until
her last appearance she held her list
eners thoroughly. She gave a series
OF Grecian poses that brought into
reauisition her delsartean movements
and these we're given gracefully and
with a charm that caught the fancy
Of all. She has had some strong pre-.
'decessors in her line Of work here but
Miss Boynton's reading did not suffer
to any great extent. She received
two hearty on the musical
number she gave and responded gen.
.erously. -
The opening attraction was a splen-
did success and it augurs we'll for a
good season, and DIR. Nicholson in
his opening remarks congratulated
the citizens on their strong patronage
Of the lecture and concert course.
The next attraction will be the
Lulu Tyler-Gates Concert Co., which
wilt appear on the evening Of Novem-
Der 2.

A NEW SUPERINTENDENT
The Anti-Saloon League Work il
State Will be in the Hands
of Rev. H. FrOhock.

Since last spring the work of the
Anti-Saloon League in the state has
been allowed to lapse or account of
the absence Of a superintendent. At
that time a gentleman came out here
from Indiana to take charge Of the
league work, but was forced to give
it up after a short time by reason of
sickness in his family. The execu-
tive committee has been ir CORES
pondence for some time TO secure a
suitable leader for the work and yes
terday Rev. Herbert E. Frohock, Of
New York, arrived in the city to as
sumo the duties of state superinten-
dent. MI. FrohOck ONE by ap-
pointment Of Howard E. Russell,
superintendent OF the American
National League, mt with his high
endorsement as to the fitness for the
work required Of him. The state ex-
ecutive committee accepted the ap-
pointment Of MIR. Frohock and he
will begin his work at once.
He will make his headquarters in
Mitchell and has secured rooms in
the Champeny block. The new sup
e%rintendent has been introduced to
a humber Of the leaders Of the anti
saloon league in the city and his ap-
pearance and conversation on the
work in hand has made a very favor
able Impression. He seems to have
the business qualifications and eneI-
~ to handle the situation in this
state IN a capable manner. Among
the first things to be done is the is
suance Of the monthly publication,
which at one time was under the
management Of Rev. a. E. Carhart,
which will be sent out by the middle
OF next week. Although it has not
been thoroughly been decided upon
it is likely that Mr.. Carhart will be
associated with Mr.. Frohock in the
a%nti-saloon league work over the
state. He is we'll acquainted with
the conditions in all parts Of the
state and bis aid and counsel will be
valuable to the~new superintendent.

give him victory. With Goliath
there was simply bold self-assertion.
With David there was a calm rel-
ance upon his unseen God which led
him to predict the defeat of his
antagonist before a blow was struck.
The Fall of a Giant.-The story OF
Goliath's fall is familiar to us all.
Checked in his onward rush by the
stone from David's sling which
found, perhaps, the one vulnerable
spot in his armor, the giant falls
headlong, and soon his head is cut
off, and the Philistines, seeing their
champion dead, rush backward IN
ignoble fight. SauI's army immedi-
ately follow up this advantage, and
thus a mighty victory is won.
The Symbolism of Our Lesson
This incident of David's victory over
Goliath may well serve as the symbol
of the victory of Christianity over
the forces of evil. Goliath represents
the world with all it's power for evil,
while David represents the Church
of Christ, which, if faithful to the
trust committed to it's care, will, In
the end, win as glorious a victory
over all the hosts of evil as did David
when he slew Goliath.

NOTES ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR AUGUST 9.
David and Goliath.
q Samuel II :38-49.)

Golden Text: If God be for us,
who can be against US. (Romans
9:31.)
In order to a full understanding
of the lesson before us the whole of
the seventeenth chapter of the First
Book of Samuel should be read. The
early part of the chapter tells us of
the gathering of the Philistine army
against Saul. We see the host of
Israel assembled to resist the Philis-
tine invasion. The two armies face
each other on opposite mountains
with a valley between them. Each
army occupies an advantageous posi-
ton, but both of them hesitate to
eros the intervening valley and be-
gin the assault. Meanwhile Goliath,
the huge Philistine giant, daily pa
rades before IsraePs army and dares
any one to come and fight him in
single combat.
David's three eldest brothers are in
IsraePs host, and David is sent by
his father Jesse to carry them some
provisions. While performing this
errand David hears of Goliath, and
stirred by the shameful plight of
his countrymen, offers himself to
fight the Philistine champion.
Useless Armour.-Saul who at first
was unwilling to allow such a strip
ling as David to attack Goliath, at
length consents and offers his coat
of armour to the brave youth. But
for David it is worse than useless,
and in courteous terms he declines
it, and proceeds armed only with the
simple arms which he was accus-
toned to use in his shepherd life.
Efficient Weapons.-With a staff
in his hands and his sling in his hand
five smooth stones out of the brook,
in his shepherds bag, David was
fully equipped to meet his giant foe.
The dexterity which is attained by
the shepherds of Palestine in the use
of the sling is one of the striking
features of Eastern life. David
seems to have been an adept in the
use of this weapon, and now the
skill with which he had formerly de-
Tended his fathers focks from the
attacks of a loin and a bear finds
opportunity for service in the de-
Tense of his country.
The Secret of David's Courage
David's confidence was in marked
contrast to the boastful spirit of the
giant whom he opposed. Goliath
came to the combat, full of arrogant
s~elf-assertion, and relying upon his
superior physical strength for vic
tory.
David went forward, knowing full
well his skill with the sling, yet not
depending upon this alone, but trust
ing rather in the God of Israel to
