Makes an Address mt the Mass Meet
ing at Young Mems Chris
tian Association,

tian Association.
Speaking before more than 500 men
OF Columbia, at the Columbia theatre
Sunday afternoon, G. G. Featherstone
OF Laurens made strong appeal for
clean. Christian citizenship. He out
lined the duty Of man to man and the
duty of man to the State in a most in
teresting manner and held the at
tention of the audience throughout
the address. This was one of IL series
OF meetings planned by the Young
Mems Christian association The ad-
dress was considered one of the very
best that has been delivered during
the series. The address was inspiring
and the audience wa3 given much to
think about in serious way He made
profound impression. His subject
WAS practical Christianity
"LOye Thy NeighbOr as Thyself."
Mr. Featherstone is an earnest.
forceful speaker and there was food
For thought in every utterance The
basic point, and that which he stressed
was, Love thy neighbor as thyself."
He argued that the age needed a
different kind of religion from the
song and shouting and then going
away to forget He said that the kind
OF christianity needed was the prac-
tical type that rendered service He
thought that Christianity should enter
into all of the activities of life He
discussed at length public questions
and said that the true citizen should
' enter into and help solve the various
issues. What have you accomplish
GG This was asked in the discussion
oi the life and work of man and in
discussing the final judgment and fu-
tuge of the soul He thought tha,
every Christian should take an inter
c3' in the things that benefit mankind
Mans Duty tD State.
The duty OF man TO the State
brought forth an interesting discussion
ON the part of Nh Feathcrstone. He
asked the question of how many men
present had evaded jury service. He
sad that in many instances the man
Nho would cvade jury service would
Gonsure til jury for t..e verdict re
:tumed.
The man who stands for some
thing and is not swayed by business
il ,crcsts and for political advance
ocnJ WAS highly commended by MIR

II follows. then. that in this new work
he has seen with unerring judgment
that MANY pages Of the libretto would
have TO sway the public a. pure drama
rather than as opera. and he has fashioned
the music for these pages rather az a
melodramatic accompaniment than as a
complete lyric garb. That he has done
this cleverly goes without saying. Wheth'

in this opera a much smaller measure OF
the lush melody Of i,s favorite master than
il has hitherto enjoyed is another question
