and good will Of the Master. I1
eloquent words he portrayed anc
advocated the parliament Of nations
and the federation of the world
Very impressive was his reference
to the stars in the American flag
and the sun flag Of Japan. AS the
sun and stars in IT, the frmament
never quarrel, neither will the ma.
tions who have adopted these en-
blems for their flags. In the light
of Christianity all peoples are OF
one blood and have one common pur-
| pose.
On Friday evening the Old Home
Singers furnished the full entertain
ment, appearing in costumes of
1860, the ladies in hoopskirts, and
rendering a number Of old time IA
vorite songs, that were we'll re-
ceived
On Saturday Chimera and his
great band entertained the assem-
ly both afternoon and evening, by
high class soul stirring music. Ma
dame Cafarilli, a famous Chicago
opera singer, accompanied the band,
and rendered many selections to the
delight of all who heard her. Her
singing of the "Holy City, was fine
indeed.
On Sunday the Bohannans furnish
ed the musical treats. DR.. James L.
Gordon, of Winnipeg, Canada's
greatest preacher delivered a mas
terful address in the afternoon on
the subject "Grace, Grit and Green
backs" He is a whirlwind of a
speaker, with an unlimited fund of
good stories and apt poetical quota
tions on hand for immediate use in
driving home some useful and
wholesome facts. The address was
a beacon light to success and full of
inspiration, especially for all young
people. His wit and his eloquence
held the large audience spell bound
for nearly two hours. On. Sunday
evening Hon. B. F. Mcdonald, a
lawyer from Ohio, delivered splen-
did address on "Moonshine" in
which he pictured in a mastery way
many Of the shams and shortcom-
ings in private and national life.
He scored the propensity to put on
appearances and desire to - appear
differently from what one really is.
Mr.. Mcdonald is. a rapid fire talker
and his message was listened to
with great interest. The songs,
readings and impersonations of the
Bohannans on Sunday evening were
also much enjoyed:
Monday was the closing day when
Ducrot, the great magician, enter
tanned in the afternoon both old
and young by his nimble perform
ances. The Christian Giles company
furnished the musical ? numbers.
They are splendid entertainers.
This company and Bingham, a nat
ural born humorist and merry maker
'broke up" the Chautauqua in a
revelry of wholesome fun. Every
body laughed-could not help doing
so. !-fs
During the afternoon on Monday
the children, under the direction of
Marguerite schmitz, play specialist,
gave an interesting "dress up pro-
gram. At the opening of Mondays
program the Warren band furnished
number Of selections that were
we'll received.
This years Chautauqua was
great success. Even the attendance
was all that could be expected, con-
sidering that the busy season has
arrived. The attractions, if any,
thing have been stronger than at
any former Chautauqua. Our city
and our community cannot fail to
reap many benefits from such ga
therings, and we cannot afford to let
a year slip by without one. We
are also pleased to state that Mr..
Preston, who gracefully and tact
fully has superintended and man
aged this Chautauqua, has succeeded
in getting a contract signed by War
ren's business men for Chautauqua
to be held next year.
