strictly mertted, to the rendering Of 1The
Messiah the evening previous, makes a
comment upon the demonstration by the
audience that we feel In personal expert
ence, as one of that audience, can be fully
explained. AS we sat there and listened
to the heavenly symphony we felt that
handclapping was most homogeneous, and
that the people INDUCED in it because it
had been done on other occasions. The
sweetness, the purity, the perfection of
execution left sense of pleasure and rest
that was sadly shocked and dissipated
by it. Perfect stiffness on the part of that
great audience would have been the great
est compliment that could have been
given. IT, after such exquisite pleasure,
there must be demonstration let us give
the Chautauqua salute, and save to our
selves the pleasures Of rernem berina, those
sounds and symphonies, and Of holding the
impressions coming with those sacred SEN
fences, that mean so much to waiting
world, and which were rendered in such
divine harmony, SO long as possible.
It Is something for which to be deeply
grateful that we live among people that
can SO render 1.-THE Messiah
