Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1914-07-01

There appeared the dashing Indian
girl, the Puritan maiden, the Colonial
girl, the Western Pioneer girl, our
grandmother's type, and lastly, our
present day American girl. The
concert was an enjoyable one thru
out and was a fit beginning of the
five days of education and entertain
ment.
To the Thursday afternoon and ev-
ening programs the Ringsdorf COM
pany, consisting of Nine. Lillian
Ringsdorf, soprano soloist and read
er, and Miss Clara Van Hoose, pianist
furnished pleasing preludes. Nine.
Ringsdorf sang several delightful
numbers, some of which were, "In
May" Madame Butterfly" "a Per-
feet Day." "The Old Red Cradle" and
trio of old English folksongs,
Birthday Song" "Open Secret" and
''The Daisy Chain" all Of which she
rendered in delightful manner. AS
a reader Nine. Ringsdorf was perhaps
enjoyed more than as the singer. Her
delightful impersonations of children
were features which pleased the au-
dience and she was repeatedly en-
cored. Miss Van Hoose. gave pleas
ing renditions of selections from
Grieg, Moszkowski, Chopin and Nc
Dowell and was very literally encor-
ed. ...t e
Richards is Instructive.
Tuesday afternoon E. H. Richards
took his hearers down into Dark At
rica. His subject which had long been
a subject of local speculation was,
"Dustpan Kuss and His Wife the De-
vii" This was explained to be the
names of two servants of the Rich
ard household in Africa. Dustpar,
Kuss being a negro boy, the latter be-
ing girl.
Mr. Richards has spent thirtythree
years in a colony in Africa and dur
ing this time he travelled extensively
thru the jungles of this country in
this manner acquainting himself with
various tribes and conditions IN which
they exist. He spoke of the natur-
al dislike of one race for another, the
black hates the white and vice versa.
Unlike the majority of missionaries
Mr.. Richards presented an economical
side of the evangelization of the
earth. Wherever "The Book" has
come, there everything increases in
value. Africa is not barren desert,
but veritable paradise, laden with
an abundance of wealth. He express
ed the assertion that Africa and the
heather countries are the store
houses of the world, there is found
fuel, building material and all neces-
saries to supply man for thousands OF
years. But, he said, these things
would unremain undeveloped unless
the peoples were evangelized. Thirty
years ago land in southern Africa
was of no value gradually the price
increased until now some is worth
$1O0 per acre. ........-t
There were no oratorical flourishes
no bombast nor pathetic appeals, ev-
erything was told in a quiet, easy and
pleasing but effective manner, with
an occasional touch Of delightful hu-
NOR. The lecture was entertaining
but above all, instructive.
