.He will subdue our iniquitles.' Mlcah
Z: 10.
The language is expressive or ooy1ul
confidence. But the allusion Is military,
and we'll accords with the experience of
every partaker Of divine grace who hnds
tho spiritual life warfare. The adver-
saries to be subdued are their "inlqui-
ties" They have enemies without, but
their worst enemies are within Even the
world and the devil could do them little
hurt without the assistance of these
treacherous inmates In this sense
mans foes are they of his own mouse.
aut are not their iniquities enemies to
others as we'll as to Christians? They
are, and will be found so In the end; but
Mt present others are deluded by them
and take pleasure in them. whereas
Christians have been awakened ana en-
lightened to see their condition While lett
captive by them, and have been led to
throw off their yoke and to declare war
against them-a war that must emu IN
our victory or destruction.
But arc they not already delivered from
these enemies? Does not the apostle
thank God that they are made free from
sin and become the servants of righteous
ress?'' They are made free from Its ty-

Fthrough her splendid Interpretation.
Miss Ruth had a fine conception Of
the work before her and she presents
IL IN an intelligent manner. The
applause that was accorded her came
from The hearts Of the people.
The first part Of the program was
concluded with a violin solo by--Mr.
Paul Williams, in which he rendered
,Allegro-vivace de la Symphonic
reformation" by Mendelssohn. Mr..
Williams has been a great favorit tie
With his violin during the years

as he graduates in the college course
at this time there was general re-
greet expressed that his violin would
De heard no more within the halls,
Mr.. Williams stands out Respondent
as a voilinist of the younger school,
and the selection he played on this
occasion showed a fine mastery of
the violin. He was accompanied
on the piano and organ by Misses
Grace Conner and Irma Walker.
The second part began with a male
quintet, in which Messrs. Tanner,
Briggs, Noble, Wait and Peck sang
Garry Me Back" with good effect.
The audience was DESTROYS Of another
selection, but it had to 20 unre-
Warded. The ladies' chorus sang
The Rose" by Nevin, in a spleu-
did manner and their singing got a
very hearty acknowledgment from
the audience. The Mixed Chorus
sang "The Miller's Wooing," a very
pretty melody, with much energy and
good effect.
Perhaps n of the most attract
i've numbers Of the evening was the
wedding March and Elfin Chorus,''
by Mendelssohn : List. which was
rendered by Miss Grace Conner. A
mixture of the two selections was
wrought out by the player, each hand
carrying an intricate arrangement of
the melody. 1t was a beautiful num-
Der and inspired the fair artist to a
brilliant and highly accepted per-
Torrance. There is a strong fascina-
tion in the playing of Miss Conner.
We have listened for several years to
her growing work and this number
brought to the surface all that she
has been studying for. It was a
magnificent selection and one that
undeniably placed her high on the
pedestal OF musical fame. Her second
number was "Solostimme." Con.

The Jai1s John Howard Found.

The forward movement was every
where SO gradual that in ITO, when
John Howard began to investigate hos
pitfalls as an incidental feature of his
work in prisons, he found almost no
provision for sick criminals. Where
such existed it was frankly inadequate,
as in the castle at York, where one
small room served as infrmary, so that
when persons of one sex happened to
be in this, those Of the other were ex-
Guided" On the continent, except for
characteristic cleanliness in Flanders,
conditions showed little progress. Even
in the famous hospice OF st. Jean de
Jerusalem at Malta, with its sumptu-
GUS table service of silver, Howard tells
that patients were tended "by the
most ragged, dirty, unfeeling and in
human wretches / EVER saw. I once
found nine OF ten of them highly en-
~tertained by a delirious and dying per-
son." These attendants were chosen
from among debtors and criminals, and
as there were only twenty-five of
them for 500 patients against forty
for twenty-six horses and twenty-six
mules) they could hardly have been ex-
pected to take their employment very
seriously.-Mary Moss in Atlantic.

Influence of Advertising.

In a restaurant some men were dis
cussing the great quantity Of cereal ad-
vertisements that have appeared in the
newspapers during the past year. They
wondered If these advertisements had
had any great effect on the public. One
of them said, "Well, I confess they
have started me to eating a cereal for
breakfast, a thing I eve used to do"
Two others said the same thing. They
numbered five, and three Of the five
had been converted to the breakfast
food habit through newspaper advertis-
ing. The waiter vas then called over,
and he was asked If he had noticed any
increase in the eating Of cereals during
the past year. 81 have, indeed" the
man replied. II should say that three
breakfasters now begin with a cereal
where only one began a year ago, and
there is furthermore a growing army Of
men and women who eat some sort Of
cereal for their lunch instead Of the pde
or d%oughnuts Of the past."-Philadea-
phia Record.

embarrassment to hamper the COM

This is a situation that is very en-
couraging to an institution that is
without an endowment, and depends

there was a marked contrast in the
two numbers Miss Conner presented
her second with none the less bril-
liancy. The largo and rondo move
ments. which characterized the Sc
lection, were executed with a prof.
cheney and a thorough understand
ing that comes through natural tai
emit. She was accompanied on the
second piano by Miss Irma Walker
and by Mr.. Williams OF the violin,
the whole forming a very happy COM
bination. Miss Walker in her accom-
paniment played her part with dis.
tjnct understanding and added that
much more prestige for her work
aside from her solo.
The excellent work Of these young
ladies is the reflection Of their in.
structor, Miss Myrtle Lee, who has
had them in training most Of the
time in the past four years. Miss
Lee is an instructor Of a high type.
Her self does not appear in the play
ng of her pupils, but she puts the
execution, the touch, the technique
into the being and the music is evol'
we'd by a constant and earnest training
on the part of the teacher. Mis-:
Lee is conscientious in her work
and her methods have found {
hearty appreciation by her pupils
She is entitled to hearty %congratula'
lions for presenting four such &C
compllshed players as the graduate
Of her department.

THE MOnERN CENSUS.

A Decenninl Snap Shot of tho Nation
For the Benefit of All Time.
Since 1890 the area of the United
States has increased from S27,S44 to
3,622,933 square miles; the number Of
counties has increased from 3O7 to
1857, and the total population has in
creased from 3,929,214 to 76,3O3,387, or
n~ineteenfold. There are four states
each possessing, in 1900, a population
greater than that Of the entire nation
in 1890, at which time two Of the four
were an untrodden wilderness. The
number of cities with q population of
5000 or over has increased from 6 to
b46, and the number with a population
Of 5000 or over from 2 to 161. There
are now 3S cities having a population
exceeding 100000, and 3 of these have
over 100000 each. In 1900 the record
of capital, wages and value OF products
of manufactures rises to figures al
most beyond comprehension. The capt.
tai invested was $9,S4G,62S,5 64; the
salaries and wages paid amounted to
So, 735, 43O, S4S, and the value Of prod
ucts was $13 81 ,279,5 In agricul-
ture the figures are almost equally i'm
prassive. The total value of farms in

A Strong Mans Feat.

Otto Peterson, physical director Of
the Danish Athletic club, Brooklyn,
was locked up e few days ago in New
York because he had attempted to drag
a Broadway car from Twenty~thtrd
street one block north with his teeth.
Peterson ran from the sidewalk and
signaled a north bound car to stop.
The motorman did, and the strong
man hitched a chain to the fender and
tugged away at the other end like a
fox terrier at a piece Of meat. There
were fifteen passengers on board. BE
had moved the car about SIX feet when
a policeman arrested him.

ATTENDED by the great composer.
The accompaniment was played on
$the second piano by Miss Marjorie
IRuth, in which she displayed a fine
liability. Miss Ewart's second num-
Sber was of an entirely different char
Racter in musical lore. 1t was Mos
#koWski's Waltz in e. She played it
brilliantly and with a precision and
concerted movement that added
smuch to the effectiveness Of the
number. Miss Ewart is a close and
painstaking student of music and
it is a delight to her to dclve into
the intricate mysteries Of the en-
chanted realm.

and with an Unborn talent her

the ear Of the listener. There is a
smoothness, and yet a power in her
playing that shows her work to be
that of the artist. The number
brought into execution a delicate
technique that has been acquired by
constant practice and which made
1t all the more impressive. Miss
Walker deserved the earnest applause
that followed the conclusion of her
number.
a double number was played by
Miss Marjorie Ruth, 10th OF which
wed with the other in opposite di-
rectlons. The first was "Fantasia

second was the "Dance of the
Elves,' by Kroeger. The combina-
tlon proved a happy one for Miss
Ruth, for the selections were of a
character that gave her full oppor;
lunlty to set forth her work as a
pianist in a brilliant manner. The
passages were difficult, but her fin.
gers gljded smoothly over the keys
producing harmony Of sounds that
were indeed pleasing. In the Mozart
