The OPENING OF
1908 ASSEMBLY
The Early Sessions of the Chau.
tauqua and Dedication of
the New Auditorium.

The Chautauqua Assembly which
began its session last week on it's
permanent grounds by Green lake,
has been a general surprise to the
visitors and other faithful patrons
since the opening day. The man
agement is to be congratulated on
the splendid talent procured for the
season and one cannot we'll be too
lavish in praising the push and en-
ergy which made possible the ac-
commodations such as they are.
The grounds are conveniently sit
uated on the western part Of Cot
tonWood Beach nearest to the viii
lage. Along the beach are the
tents of the campers. The only
thing wanting seems to be a sum-
mer hotel. This will be forth-com-
ing. 1t must be remembered that
this is but the second season Of the
assembly. 1t is truly remarkable
that after only year from its or
ganization the management is in
possession of what was pronounced
by DR.. LoWther to be the finest
Chautauqua auditorium he had
seen, save the mother assembly in
New York. AS for the lake, no
part of the country could show one
more beautiful had not Yellowstone
Park it's Mirror Lake.
The assembly began last Wednes-
day afternoon, and this first day
gave fair promise of the good
things to come. There was the
Minnesota Ladies' Symphony Or
chestra. which with its diversified
talent and it's fine ensemble playing
has been indispensable to all pro-
grams. There, too, on the opening
day was Wirth Lowther, whose
three mastery lectures comprised
perhaps the most thoughtful and
helpful asset to the program thus
far. Neither was the figure which
every day has been most familiar,
Director P. C. Tonning. absent
from the opening session longer
than to be fifty introduced by Presi-
dent Russell Spicer. Both Of these
gentlemen spoke briefly Of the
Chautauqua movement in general
and of the sacrifice and enterprise
which had given to Kandiyohi coun-
ty the privilege OF sharing in it
and Of making the best possible
use Of the material advantages
which a beauty spot like Green lake
offers.
After the concert by the orches-
ira which followed, Mr.. Tonning
introduced Mr.. Geo. F. James OF
the State University, who bad beer
selected to give the address which
was to dedicate the auditorium
DR.. James spoke Of the purpose OF

''But the Chautauqua movement
is no less important as being the
means of great moral uplifting.
After all, the great object of life is
to know God. Why should that
which is nearest our heart be so as
siduously avoided? Might we not
hear of our duty toward God and
our fellow men from some other
place than the pulpit? The future

ARCHAEOLOGY
Rev. Gates Paper on His 0bser.
vati0nS in kandiy0hi County
in The Above Subjects.

There is a very delightful and
entertaining book by Canon Kings
ley entitled "Town Geology" which
should be read by every seeker af-
ter knowledge. In it by a series
of bright and chatty chapters under
various appropriate captions one is
brought face to face with the fact
that very much Of interest and in
struction lies always ready to our
hand and that there is no spot on
earth that may not be made to
speak of some great nature force or
bear witness to or aid in elucidat-
ing the past. In my pedestrian ex-
cursions over our beautiful county
| have often been thankful that l
was early a reader of Kingsley's
book and thus acquired a love of
Geology, for its study has made an
open book of the fair domain
spreading about one and the story
Of the ancient days is ever full of
suggestion and instruction.
For instance, where we are gath
cred today was once the site of
quite a different structure. In
place of this pleasant and comfort
able auditorium there lowered sky
ward a vast ice palace. Its innum-
cradle minarets of ice rose in gilt
tering sierras, pinnacle above pin
nacle, until they pierced the pale
ether of an arctic armament at an
altitude of over twenty thousand
feet.
While this vast lobe Of the great
ice sheet abode here it was busy
carving out the greatest of it's ex-
cavations in our county-the cavity
now filled by this attractive lake,
and while thru the hundreds of
years it was doing this it left an
everlasting record Of it's eroding
force in its vast dump heaps or ter
minal moraine which. is the range
Of now wooded hills rising some
$50 feet above the lake at it's north
end. The so-called reef and stony
point tell US that there existed in
this glacier vast crevass down
whose abysmal depths poured in the
brief summers torrents of turbid
waters with their freight OF sand
and boulders from far off lateral
moraines.
When we go over to sections 80
and 81 of New London township we
see where this ice lobe retreated
after many centuries, and where it
was climatically held stationary for
many more, advancing and retreat
ing as the seasons dictated, and
leaving it's diary Of the centuries
of ebb and flow in the affairs of
glaciers, writ plain and unmistak-
ably in that charming range of hills
called the Dovre Moraine- OF
the noted moraines of the glacial
belt in America a true terminal
moraine, whose ramifications are
continued far to the northwest anC
northeast. To the southwest anc
south it's limits are indicated by
, the two twin or Dovre Hills anc

Thursday was Old Settlers Day..
The program of the association is
accounted for elsewhere. Many old
settlers were present and they were
given tickets to the afternoon pro-
gram, which consisted of selections
by the Ladies' Orchestra and read
ings by Miss Mildred Loomis, whose
simple and sympathetic manner
won the audience. Mr.. Lowther
lectured on 1.-The Mission of the
Poet The evening session was
most profitable one. Mr.. Lowther
was at his best and his lecture" The
Art of Seeing Things" is master
piece.
Now, we know that very few
people notice anything at. all and
that those who do are our scientists
and naturalists and our poets.
This fact is not entirely due either
to defects in eyesight, such as as
tigmatism nor even to the presence
of the blind spot on the retina.
But Mr.. Lowther's remarkable dis
covery is that these physical eye
defects project themselves on the
soul and that there are men who
cannot see spiritual things. Mar
velous it is that every mans spirit
ual eye has blind spot and that,
tho certain truths are perceived,
others are not. Only this can ex-
plain how many good men could
have ever believed in witchcraft or
defended the institution of slavery.
And only thus can it be explained
why we see so little evil in the sa-
loon of today or why the most evil
dent fact in our consciousness, the
belief in the future life, is so often
denied.
