MUSIC FESTIVAL A SUCCESS.

1t will be a source of pleasure TO
every music lover and to the people
of the city in general to know that
the music festival which closed last
night was a success financially. When
the scheme was first talked of, there
was some doubts in the minds of the
promoters even as to whether or not
it could be made a success. The
effort was largely an experiment. But
those who were behind the organiza-
ton were willing to shoulder the re-
sponsibility of even a financial loss
in order that the city might take front
rank in the musical circles of the
northwest. They believed that the
making of an educational, and conse-
quently musical centre, of the city
would be promoted BY such scheme
and they were willing to make the
effort.
The response of the public has been
truly gratifying. While the cost of
the oratorio was something near two
thousand dollars, the receipts have
been more than twenty-four hundred
dollars, so that neat balance re-
mains for beginning next year,
should the society decide to use it in
that way. Prof. and Mrs. Stout have
contributed their services in the train
ing of the splendid chorus which was
largely responsible for the success Of
the festival, and it may be possible
that some remuneration will be made
them. This is nothing more than JUS
tice. They do not ask it and prob
ably find their highest reward in the
magnificent success which attended
their efforts.
1t is pleasing to those who have
been shouldering the responsibility to
part of any one to knock. In fact
a knocker of the enterprise would
have been considered a freak. The
press refused the usual compliment
aries SO that the seats could be sold
by the management, and nearly ev-
cry one connected with the city press
purchased tickets.
The possibility of festival next
year is assured. The magnificent
success which has attended this one,
and the exceptionally high character
OF the work has already made posi-
BILE even on larger and more COM
prehensive scale the festival for next
year. The patrons realizing that there
is something greater than is usually
to be found in cities of the size of
Grand Forks, will appreciate the eff
forts of the promoters to bring the
best in the musical world to their
doors, and the sale of seats at this
time, were such thing possible,
would be sufficient to make sure the
financial end Of the enterprise next
year.
Grand Forks has proven it's right
to the claim of the musical centre
of the northwest and Wesley college
has made good in its every promise
to the city.

it can be easily seen that his faith
is strongly and deeply theistic, that
the universe is moral one, that the
christian religion is the perfect re-
ligion," that man in the on-goings
and movements of the world is CON-
ing into his best estate, and that the
ultimate goal for him and the pur-
pose for which he was created, is
likeness to his Maker and fitness and
capacity to enjoy Him forever. This
may be said to be the essence of the
brilliant professors moral philosophy.
And surely this is worthy end!
Optimism is, therefore, in DR..
Bowne's thought, the only true his
torical ultimate.
As theologian he is also an au-
thority. This is apparent from his
books on theological subjects His
three little treatises on, "The Atone
ment," The Christian Revelation"
and Christian Experience" are be-
coming classics, and are being trans
lated into Norwegian, japanese and
other languages. The readiness,
clearness and authority with which
he has solved some of the perplexing
problems that have haunted religious
thought in recent years have put
many young men ON their feet again
and settled and established their
moorings. He possesses sublime
and an intelligent faith in the great
fundamentals of christianity, and
cleaves to them with all the ten
acity and strength of great sail.
During his long and useful career
in Boston university he has come into
contact with thousands of young men
who since have scattered all over the
world. A score of his former stu
dents are in this growing and pros
porous state of North, Dakota.
If like master, like pupil" pos
sesses any validity, then the Metho-
dist Episcopal church of this state
need have no anxiety as to the fu-
ture. With such men as, Revs. DR..
Powell, of Minot; Professor Halfyard,
of Wesley college; Asher, of Grafton;
Mccoy, of Darlington; Grimes, of Ca
thay, Vermilyea, Of Park River; Ma
gin, of Bismarck, and others, who
have all come under DR.. Bowne's
teaching and influence and imbibed
his spirit, the interests of the Metho-
dist church and the kingdom of God
are safe in their hands. Association
with such master will produce
type of minister possessing a faith
intelligent, inspirational, devoted and
true. But this may not only be said
of Boston university men but of all

seek to understand the great prob
lens of life and thought and find a
satisfactory solution and explanation.
1t is to be devotedly hoped that Wes-
ley college, under the benign and
friendly relationship of afiliation
with the state university will be able
to turn out men and women COM
parable as any within the bounds
of this great northwest. The active
and sympathetic part taken by the
university in connection with this lee
tureship BODIES hopefully and we'll for
future years.
