DIR. j. j. Shirley Speaks at Meeting
of the Secular League.
A discussion OF the work OF the en-
inent French chemist, Louis Pasteur, and
a debate on the merits of vaccination
took place at a meeting Of the Secular
League yesterday afternoon.
Pasteurs discoveries in fermentation.
bacteriology. and inOcculation for hydro
phobia were described in an address by
Or. J. ]. Shirley, who pronounced Pas
teur "the Newton OF the microscopic
world"
Science has been enriched through hts
work, and the welfare of humanity adj
vanced In an almost incalculable degree
said The speaker 1T was he who placed
bacteriology and biology on an enduring
basis; ii was he who suggested the an
tiseptic treatment in surgery and made
Ii an almost exact science. IL was he
who enabled Dr. Walter Reed TO carry
on his brilliant work in Cuba against
yellow fever The work on the Panama
Canal could not be carried on without
the application of the principles discov-
cred by Pasteur."
H. B. Bradford, president Of the Anti
Vaccination Society, disputed the bacter-
biological theory of disease, but devoted
himself chiefly TO an arrangement OF vac
cination, which he declared was prop
agator OF numerous diseases.
Or. Nj S. Iseman and David EccleS
replied 10 the anti-vaecinaionists, the
former speaking from the information OBJ
tained by personal examination OF 1000
school children of Washington. The lat
ter pronounced the science Of bacteriol-
ogy and the effectiveness Of vaccination
as a preventive Of smallpox TO have been
established by inconuOvertible experi-
ment and demonstration.

the greatest and most moving drama OF
human times.
In the second half OF his lecture he
shows the most important scenes and
describes the action of the Passion
Play itself-the simple Bible story OF
the suffering and death of Jesus Christ.
with pictures of the actual scene OF the
cruciflxion-one scene in which Anton
Lang, the Christus of the play, remains
on the cross for nearly twenty minutes
without moving. The final scenes OF this
tremendous picture Of the tragedy at
Calvary are majestic in their pathos;
realistic TO the point of pain; impressing
the spectator with the awfulness OF the
sacrifice.
The many artistic colored pictures of
the lecture are supplemented by many
motion pictures taken at Oberammergau,
and In all of MI Holmes series of lee
lures there Is none with a larger or more
poignant human appeal than this. THE

PASSION PLAY OF 1910.
Burton Holmes Gives an Inspiring
Lecture at Columbia.

Reverent. inspiring; educative and truly
interesting, both from an artistic and in
formative standpoint. was Mr.. Burton
Holmes lecture at the Columbia Theater
last night on The Passion Play of
1910" It was fine, too, to note how such
a subject as this retains its vital hold
on the interest of the people. as was evil
denced last night by theater packed to
its capacity. both of standing and sitting
room. Most Of thte pictures shown by
Mr.. Holmes were secured at his visit TO
Oberammergau last summer. but that was
his third or fourth visit to the little
village in the Bavarian Alps. and he was
able TO show by displaying photographs
taken during the previous visits the con-
trasts that have come by years.
Mr.. Holmes was able. also. TO answer
some OF the criticisms against the peas
ant actors of ergau-criticisms
that have been much more frequent and
much more ill-advised since the Passion
Play has taken its place. as 1t were, on
the itinerary OF the Cooks tourist. Mr..
Holmes insists on the good faith, the
fine spirit, the reverence of the inhabit-
ants of Oberammergau, and what he tells
Of the life of the villagers, together with
the wonderful pictures he shows, dem
onstrates to any one not eaten up with
prejudice that the Passion Play perform
ances are not only a vital factor In the
moral tone of the Bavarian community
that keeps them alive, but are, in addi-
ton, an inspirational force that benefits
all who come IN contact with them.
In his lecture Mr. Holmes describes the
journey to Oberammergau from Munich:
he tells of the accommodations; the way
the play is conducted; how the players
are chosen. and how ambitious, even
from childhood. the people of Oberam-
mergau are go to live that they may be

On Thursday evening OF last week
DR.. Kerlin delivered his lecture on
Mark Twain in the Courthouse be-
fore an appreciative and highly in
terested audience.
Master of his theme the lecturer
unfolded the life-work of the great
American with rare skill and dis
eliminating judgment 1t was
literary treat and the regret is that
the audience was not larger. The
biography of men and women OF
genuine genius make most instruc-

listen to one Of culture who tells the
story of the struggles and triumphs
OF a truly great character.
We are indebted to DR.. Kerlin for
an evening of genuine profit and
pleasure.

Raise Hay and Corn.

1t is a sad sight to watch a wag-
on from the country leaving town
loaded with hay and meal. Such
things ought not to be, and you
will pardon us for saying so. Think
it over and you will agree with us.
Don't say that it takes all your time
to grow tobacco, for many of the
best growers of tobacco have hay
and corn for sale. Success we know
is rare and yet more farmers can
and should succeed in raising at
home such things as are necessary
for home consumption. This doesn't
mean that the farmers of this sec
ton can raise sugar and coffee, but
it does mean that they can raise
hay and corn.
