The Bible lectures in charge of Dr.
| Dent Atkinson each forenoon at the
Chautauqua are increasing in attend
| ance and interest and should be heard
by all. They are given by a man of
great experience and have been pro-
nounced among the most interesting
ard unique lessons in America. They
represent research, travels in many
lands and have been delivered through
out the United States. Yesterday DR..
Atkinson took UP the Pentateuch.
Among other things he showed that
the first 1000 years of history are in
Genesis. 1t tells us of nine beginnings
which are vital to all history /.
Origin Of heaven and earth. 2. Adam
&c race. 8. Marriage. 4. Weeks and
Sabbaths. 5. Sin and death. 6. Sac
r1fice- 7. Covenant promise. 6. Ma,
tions and tongues. 9. Hebrew race.
Reviewing Exodus. he told its three
divisions: 1. Israel in Egypt, twelve
chapters. 2. Israel leaving Egypt, six
chapters. g. Israel at Sinai twenty
two chapters.
Reviewing Leviticus, he explained
how this was a book Of ceremonials
and its two chief fortunes were how
to come to God and co how to pre-
care for that coming
Numbers is a book OF journeyings
and parallels our life. Deuteronomy is
the law repeated, and many helpful
things were spoken OF in the lecture
yesterday. A word about the lecturer:
DR.. Atkinson is a graduate in arts
and law and doctor of philosophy and
has spoken IN q thousand cities in
America. Three colleges and three
great universities have contributed to
his fund of information and when such
schools as Harvard send her illustrious
sons among us we ought to attend such
lectures when they are free. DR.. At
kinson will lecture again this morning
at IL o'clock. His lecture will be The
Judges and Kings of Israel"
The Boston Lyrics.
The entertainments given by the
Boston Lyrics in the afternoon and
evening were Of that high class order
which never fail to educate and elevate
the public taste
Here was a demonstration OF the
manner in which three cultured artists
can hold an audience for couple Of
hours with perfect ease to themselves
and continuous satisfaction to their
hearers.
No finer entertainment of IT'S kind
has been witnessed In Pensacola: re-
1nement both humorous as we'll as
serious, was ever present The French
adjective, recherche, is the only one
which truly describes all that is done
by the Boston Lyrics; even as Boston
Is the home Of refinement SO are the
Boston Lyrics the ldSL worn III E6IueO
ent erta inment.
Pensa cola. as represented by the best
OF it's society people who gathered to
hear these delightful entertainers
proved itself distinctly in the fore
ground of ma tiers classical: the great
est amount of appreciation was shown
where refinement was most in evil
dence and this is the vital essence of
the Chautauqua movement; to arouse
the desire for the best in art, in liter
y t., al - tzts STHl-
proves and uplifts the standard of hu-
man life.
Bertha Wells is reader of the
highest and finest order; every tone,
every gesture betrays perfect breeding,
vet there is that freedom and ease
which goes to show that educa ton does
not necessarily mean stiffness of man
ner, not at all; such manner is closely
allied to vulgarity and sef-consc1ous-
ness and proves the absence of finish
and the necessity for more education.
F1avel R. Jordan is a type of the
trained college man, ready for any
thing, never nonplussed, perfectly at
home with his audience, a gentleman
in every way.
Carolyn Jordan is a pianiste of a
similarly high rank: her accompani-
ments bear the hallmark of perfect
training, unobtrusive but helpful neat
and dainty and adapted to the work
of her fellow artistes.
Pensacola has been distinctly favored
by the visit of these three great artistes
and has shown its appreciation by
earnest attention and enthusiastic sp-
pla use.
