Fighting AP0LLYON
Gypsy Smith breaches Upon Chris
tian Preparedness at the Taber-
nacle in Washington Last Night.

Many Alexandrians continue to at
tend the Gypsy Smith revival servl
ces in Washington, and large mum
ber expect to visit the tabernacle OF
next Thursday night, "Ale1andrls
Night" when seats for the one thous'
and will be reserved.
The evangelist last night delivered
sermon on the eleventh verse Of
the sixth chapter of St. Pauls epistle
to the Ephesians, "Put on the whole
armor of God, that We may be able tc
stand against the wiles of the devil. ;"
Instead of giving the call for re-
pentants which had been expected, the
speaker gave them several rules to
observe in fighting the devil, which
were: Be cautious, be watchful, re-
plen:sh your spiritual strength, avoid
inactivity or obey the law of work,
avoid uncertainty, be sure, AVOID
inaccuracy, seek truth which s the
guide, the strong point of Christi
anity.
After the singing of the hymn,
Brighten Your Corner Where You
Are" led by Prof Cole, the gospel
singer, and duet by Mr.. Cole and
John w. Reynolds, the evangelist
preached his sermon.
Using the battlefelds of the pres
ent great world strike as illustra-
tions, Mr.. Smith made the existence
of the constant warfare in which
every human soul is engaged most
vividly realistic. He declared the
devil is ever present, and is an en-
pert at finding out the weak spots
in every individuals armor.
"If the devil showed a man the
picture of the end of his s.n, he
couldn't tempt the man. If he showed
the man who takes his first glass of
liquor picture of himself in the
gutter, all. the devils couldn't tempt
the man to take a drink. lie al
ways shows the beginning of sin,
bright and gay, hut he never shows
the end.
"There Is the sin of disarrange-
ment. 1t is disarrangement that sep
crates a wife and her husband; it is
disarrangement that causes political
strife. Place weak man in a
strong mans place and you have dis
arrangement. Church bazaars and
rummage sales to pay the pastors
salary is dsarrangement.
Christ says, forgive your debtors;'
the twentieth century says, sue them
for the dough- Christ says, freely
you have, freely give; the twentieth
century says, associated charities

other instrument, and in action and
POSITION.
The heart and home songs of the
countries whence come our Immi-
grants will be the leading part of the
program. Such songs as the Irish
Where the River Shannon Flows,
and Rory OMore"; the German THE
Lorelei" and silent Night, Hallowed
Night; and the Italian "Ciribiribin, -
and the choicest songs from other ma
tionalities. These will be of wide va
riety, carefully selected for their beau
ty and appropriateness and especially
for their part in building an artistic,
entertaining and effective program,
THE Heart of the Immigrant"
One of the interesting and humorous
parts of the program is the school
scene from the old country wherein
| they sing their lesson. The professor
leads out with WAS Is Das?" Another
is the recounting of the experiences
on board ship, and the getting start
ed in America, among which interest
| ing experiences is learning to talk
the new language.
The program will include the sing
ing of many American songs which
have been written about the Immi-
grant people, Such songs as my
Rose of the Ghetto" "How Is Every
Ting by You, All Right?" MY Wild
Irish Rose" Rosa Marie" 81 Luv'd a
Lassie," and "Since l Left Poor
Heinie Behind"
At the conclusion of the program
while the company still speak their
English with a strong foreign flavor
and their costumes are still not a
great deal changed; yet they are tru-
ly American in heart, and are ready
to sing the closing chorus, the original
song, I'm a Citizen of the u. S. A

people are hungry for real music. Ly-
ceum audiences are no longer fright
ened by classical programs-as the
Schumann Quintet renders them. This
company brings to the Lyceum a gen
timely new idea-that of presenting
symphonic concerts with a company
of only five musicians.
To secure this symphonic effect a
specially constructed organ is carried
by this company. This gives all the
reed and wind effects of a large or
chestra and, combined with the piano
and stringed instruments, produces re-
suits as surprising as they are unique
To create added interest the Quintet
gives historic introductions to its pro-
grams
In order that he might accurately
interpret the music of Beethoven, Mo
Fart and other great composers, Mr.
Lampert spent several years abroad in
the places where these composers
lived, making a special study of the
scenes and surroundings which in
spired their work.
He studied the folk songs of the diff
ferent countries of Europe including
Bohemia, Germany, France, Austria
also in Scandinavian countries. The
art songs of these countries" says he
ARE but intensified folk songs" These
folk and art songs are interestingly
described by him.
Mr.. Lampert. in his historic intro
auctions and interpretations has rea
message for the masses and the Schu
man programs are as educational as
they are entertaining.
Each season new features are de.
vised in novel and pleasing musica
effects by the Schumanns. New pro
grams are wrought out and the com.
pany is able to go back year after
year upon the same courses without
any diminution of interest. In man,
places they have appeared three
times.

scented in a musical program. The
six people of the company viii imper-
senate in costume many of these ma
tionalities, singing their heart songs.
The dependency that overshadows
the Immigrants upon their landing at
Ellis Island clears away under the
Frightening influence of the original
song Smiles" sung by Miss Roach.
Before it's close every Immigrant is
ready to join glad-heartedly in sing
ing the opening chorus, an original
song, 1.-THE Heart of the Immigrant"
The full company of mixed quartet,
the accompanist, who sings, and Miss
Roach, who has full rich contralto
s.voice, join in singing nearly every
humber. Each song is especially pre-
scented, the effective grouping of the
singers adding a great part to the
pleasure of the audience. In the hui
morous stories and recitals, and in
the individual work of the members
of the company, nearly always every
other member is contributing as CHOIR
us, as accompanist on violin, piano or

In the coming of Miss Elsie Baker,
music lovers of Twin Falls are promis
ed a delightful evening on September
27.
On October Goth, Ada Roach and
Company VIII appear in "The Heart of
the Immigrant" This is a musical pro-
gram with a powerful theme. Miss
Ada Roach has been selected as the
most capable person in the Lyceum
for heading the company. She is a
woman of deep sentiment, broad sym
pathy, unusual natural humor, Won
derful powers of impersonatiOn, her
self of good Immigrant blood, and just
the right rollicking spirit to head such
a company as is needed to give "The
Heart of the Immigrant" So much
material is available for this program
that only the choicest is selected.
There are these great nationalities: :
Irish, Scotch, German, HOllander, Nor
