their hearts.
At 3 80 was begun one Of the
most splendid cantatas that has ever
been heard in this city, the eantata
"Pillar of Fire. by the St. John 5
Lutheran Chorus Choir of Dayton,
Ohio. The chorus, a very large one,
numbering o. voices in all, filed
the stage to overlooking. The wonder
full music, rising and falling at the
guidance of the leader was listened
to with eagerness by all. and was
heard all over the grounds, so loud
and strong was it. The "a voices
sang in perfect unison, showing ex-
cellent training and long practice, and
the cantata was carried to a trium-
plant close. The cantata symbolized
the pillar Of fire that led the Israelites
away from Egypt, with the pursuit
Of Pharaoh and the final triumph Of
the Hebrews when Pharaoh s army
was swallowed in the sea. The canta-
ia work, both solo and chorus, was
exceptionally fine, and the applause
was loud and prolonged at the close.
Sunday Evening.
"Russia and the Russians'' was
the subject of an hours address by
Mrs. j. A. Logan last evening. this
being her last address at this Chau-
tauqua. Mrs. Logan illustrated her
address with anecdotes, personally
gathered in the land of the "great
white STAR and her facts were
based on personal observations. The
address dealt a great deal with the
religious side of the Russians and
their religious practices and beliefs,
in which was found one great reason
for several of the weaknesses Of the
empire. Mrs. Logan's address was
a very fine one.
Quite apropos of the day, as it
seemed, the address following Mrs.
Logan's by Herbert Leon Cope was
called "The Religion of Laughter
and Mr. Cope spoke in his usual
pleasing manner, mixing humor with
pathos. 'Lau9hter really is sort
of religion, and does great deal for
those who profess it, he said. His
humorous stories and many jokes
kept the large crowd in a merry mood
during his talk, which was followed
at 900 O'Clock by a concert bss the
Ladies Concert Company, of Chicago,
the numbers being well rendered
