LECTURE OF MIR. SETON
FAMOUS AUTHOR SPOKE TWICE AT
 THE BIJOU.
Discourse on Animals and Stud les of Nafure-Leaves Mont
 ROmery Today.

Ernest Thompson Seton, author O. "Wild Animals I Have Known" and probably the greatest human friend of dumb beasts, lectured in Montgomery at the Bijou Theatre yesterday matinee and again last night to large audiences.
 Entertainment and instruction are peculiarly combined in MT. Seton's lec- ture, and his soul is far from being de- void of poetry. He himself, is intimate with the beasts of whom he speaks and he has the happy faculty of imparting this intimacy to his hearers.
 By the use of limitations, the accura- cy of which he has mastered and an ex- cellent stereopticon. he carries his au- dience with him to the moose country around Lake Winnipeg. or among the song birds of the Red River. The Colo rado coyotes nature and habits are for cibly impressed on his hearers as well as the habits and peculiarities of every other American animal and bird.
 MT Seton spoke in the afternoon es- pecially to children and his lecture was heartily enjoyed by a great crowd of the pupils of the Montgomery schools A second large audience heard him at night.
 The famous author is an Englishman who spent many years of his life as trapper in Canada.
 He will leave Montgomery today.

SOLEMN OCCASION
RENDERING OF GRAND MUSIC AT
 ST. JOHNS.
GauPs Impressive Passion Service by an Augmented Choir Heard by a Great Congregation
 Last Night.

There was very large congregation at St. Johns Episcopal Church last night. Every seat in the spacious body of the church was taken, many chairs were placed in the aisles, and the gallery was filled.
 For the first time in Montgomery the Passion service by A. R. Gaul was rendered under the direction of MT. Johnson, organist of St. Johns Church, with many of the best singers in Mont gomery and a chorus of about fifty voices taking part.
 Just before the services opened Rev. E. E. Cobbs. rector of the church, am nounced that this was in no sense of the word musical entertainment or recital, but a service. sacred, solemn and deeply spiritual. He asked all who were present to observe silence, that silence which would be in keeping with the character of the service At the close of each part there was a familiar hymn and in the singing of this he asked the congregation to join.
 That the vast congregation appreci- ated to the fullest extent the beautiful rendering of the service was shown by the deep interest that was exhibited and the close attention given to every portion of 1t.
 This work is given during Holy
 
 both in this country and in England, being, as 1t is, most beautiful and ap- propriate for this solemn season of the year. The work consists of eighty eight numbers. divided into six parts. The traitor at the table. the denial in the palace, the unjust condemnation, the mockery on Calvary, the shadow of death, the Holy Sepulchre. The diff ferent scenes are so graphic, enhanced by such dramatic music. that the awful scenes depicted are made most real istic.
 All present last night soon realized that 1t was a service, sacred, solemn, and deeply spiritual" and they will not soon forget 1t.
 MT, Johnson and those who so cap- ably assisted him are entitled to the thanks of the people of Montgomery for their successful rendering of this beautiful and impressive service. In addition to the regular choir of St. Johns there were many from other choirs of the city.
 The service today and tomorrow al St. Johns Church will be as follows: Good Friday-Morning Prayer and Litany, 9:30 a. m.: three-hour service 12 m. to p. m: prayer service, p. m Saturday. Easter Even-EveninG Prayer; address, p. m.; preparation for Easter Communion, [ D. m.
