Rev. Henry Emerson Fosdick of Mont

Church last evening. His subject was
1.-THE Layman's Religion" In the course
of his remarks he emphasized the fact that
Christianity was founded by a layman,
His apostles were Iaymen, and all their
work. as well as His. was opposed by the
ecclesiastic power Of His time The mod
ern tendency of systematizing business
has crept in to the church life, he de-
clared. SO that people expect that the
preacher shall grind out piety just as
ma chine will grind out its product Mr.
Fosdick insisted that this was contrary
to the fundamental principles Of the Bap-
lists. where the preacher is simply lay
man called out for special service There
said, without the cooperation of pastor
and people. He voiced as the need Of the
hour the demand for larger activity on the
part Of the laynen in the work of the

FOR ROUGH RIDERS.
Successful Concert by the Marine
Band

Army and navy circles were we'll rep
resented yesterday afternoon in the large
audience assembled to hear the concert
given by the Marine Band, under the d.
rection Of Mr.. Santelmann, for the benefit
of the Rough Riders monument fund.
The concert was given in the fine new
band room. which is one of the most re-
cent additions to the group Of buildings
being erected by Uncle Sam for the ac-
commodation Of the army contingent sta
toned here. and it is up-to-date in every
detail. the acoustic properties having re-
ceived first consideration when the plans
were made. The band was assisted by
Miss Mary Helen Leefe and Mr.. Fritz
Mueller. 'cellist. Miss Leefe's first num-
Der was "Frulinsszeit." by Rheinhold
Becker DEMONSTRATION by Mr. Robert c.
Summer. after which. in response to a
most decided encore, she sang charming
ly Comm Thro' the Rye" Miss Leefe
has clear soprano voice of good range
"F'rulingszeit" was artistic to a degree
Mr.. Mueller was heard in a most difficult
concerto-by Golterman in A minor-and
the ease with which he surmounted the
technical difficulties proved him to be a
master Of his instrument. He was en-
Enthusiastically applauded. and as an en-
core played ar "Andante" by Bromberg.
The Marine Band was heard in the over
ture, "Phedre" (Massenet). the ballet mu-
sic from THE, Feramors' Rubinstein),
(a "BajaderentanZ." No. /. allegro mod
erato: OBJ "Lichtertanz der Braute Won

"Bataderentanz." No. ., allegro vivace
assai: (O fredericksburg" moderate;
prelude, "Lohengrin' CWagneD; waltz,
The Batchelors' (Santelman-); march,
"Semper Fideles'' (Sousa). and after the
"Lohengrn'' prelude the band played for
an encore "En Sourdine' CHeinrich Tel
lam). 1t would be difficult to imagine
anything more inspiring than the swing
and rhythm with which the band rendered
Rubnstein's beautiful ballet music, but
the honors of the occasion fell to Mr.
Santelmann's new composition. 1.-The
Bachelors" which had to be repeated A
novel feature Of the composition. which
proved very attractive, was that after the
introduction, the theme was first sung,
then whistled by the members of the
band. with pizzicato accompaniment by
the strings. after which the entire band
took up the melody as is usual. The
words were written by NJ. Randolph
keim.
