Haggard, deau of the Bible college ef Drake university. Dei Moines, said: "Immersion Isn't worth a anap of tha finger without faith In Jesus Christ, the Son of God." He aaid that In John xiv:l the read ing should be: "You have believed Into God. believe also Into me," lastead of "in God" and "In ma." f'harea I nlon Sot hrlatlaa taloa. Evangelist 8. M. Martin aaid: "I am on, of the unfederated, unsectsrlantzed and un terrorlsed who never have and never will apologize for the work or workera of this body. Church union ts not Christian union, and If all Sects became one union it would be a onion of sects, not a Christian onion, la there no such thing aa a sinner, as an angry God? toes Brother Tyler believe la a progressiva revelation J" "I do," aaid Dr. .Tyler, Instantly arising, but speaking' deliberately and with full emphasis. ' "Oo to Bait Lake City atd they'll make you a bishop In three months," was Mar tin's retiring retort, no speaker being al lowed more than three minutes. Then Evangelist Ely had an inning. He aaid that Dr. Tyler had no right to refer to those who believed other than he did aa "mossbacka." Dr. Tyler bad used the figure Jestingly In speaking of the Tues day night resolution. Evangelist Ely fur ther said: "After that moat terrific ar raignment of dpnomlnatlnnalism by Brother Powell Tuesday ' night I waa surprised to ace thia convention voU approval of feder ation, when federation means denomina ' tionallsm. If you voted for that resolu tion with full understanding you would bo a denominational, but It was railroaded through and by methods which would not have been permitted had our worthy presi dent been in the chair, aa I fully believe." Ttcfera to a "Yoatafal Member." Evangelist "Ely made reference also to "a youthful member from Colorado" who . said to have told a paator at York. Neb., not long rlnce, "1 am glad to stand In the presence of Christians of all namea and denominations, whether they have been 'ducked' or not.". "I did not say anything of tha kind." spoke up Dr. Tyler from hl seat. "I am glad to learn that I was misun derstood." said Ely. and a second later Dr. Tyler called time by a vigorous rap with the gavel which Preaident Breeden had surrendered to him as tha session was sup posed to be In the nature of a congress or round table. Rev. J. H. Hardin of Liberty. Mo., who had supported the resolution Tuesday night, followed Evangelist Ely with tha some what direct remark. "I am very glad I haven't any grievance to ventilate when called upon to address you. brethren, con cerning Christian union. The mistake we aro apt to make In some Instances Is to assume that Christian union ia to take placo oa a basi of tha formal. I believe it Is to take place on a basis of the vital a basla which will ba a matter of spiritual vitality." Frank Ovlatt, a Drake atudent, also spoke briefly concerning soma things which he would like to say if he had more time. Dr. Ty-lor Dealers Report. Then Dr. Tyler appropriated the three mlnulos whlca remained before the noon hour, at which time the session was slated to cloae, saying in part: "I raised three points and asked you to apeak en them, but you have not done so, As for some of the digressions, I long ago ceased to reply to any man's or woman's misrepresentations concerning me or to (J Is cusa any false report he or she or It might la an hereditary disease, and one for which tainted ancestry or blood poiaoned par- rntage ts. responsible.

I will dismiss It with the statement that that re port ts utterly, unqualifiedly and maliciously false." "Will Brohrr Trier tell us what be did say?" called Evangelist Ely from the rear of the rostrum. "I will not,'' said Dr. Tyler, "the mat ter Is dismissrd." He then essayed to re sume the discussion of the original topic, but the noon whistle blew and President Breeden selted the gavel with a remark that he would like to make a speech on Christian union, but that It was past the hour 3nd the session must adjourn. It wss then that the popularity of Breeden and the ronfidenece In his wisdom made Itself most manlftst. The delegates simply declined to leave until he had expreesed himself, and he did so by giving three brief answers to Dr. Tyler's three queries. Answering tbo first, be said: "No modi fication." To the second: "Emphasise the whole plea for union." To the third: "To promote It, practice union ourselves." President Rrerlra f ommeaded. Every other speaker had been applauded, Ely moat thunderously by his own follow ing, but Brecden's commendation seemed to come from all parts of the house. Evalgellst Ely afterward told reporters that while not able to quote the reported statement of Dr. Tyler with absolute ac curacy It was substantially aa given above and that It had come from the York minis ter himself, who had, after the remark had been made, become offended at Dr. Tyler. Dr. Tyltr would not discuss the matter, but gave The Bee the manuscript of his ad dress, which appeara below. Before this matter was taken up the morning assemblage listened to an address by Prof. H. H. McAneny f Burkley Bible seminary, California, In promotion of the general observance of boys and girls' rally day, November 23. He urged that as the early training of tho youth was so largely nstrumental in moldinsj his after course the spirit of enthusiastic giving should be encouraged from the beginning. He said that 6, COO Sunday schools and 8,000 pastors have been asked by the secretary of the American Christian Missionary society to observe the day. Witnaat the Pale, of rarlallaa't jr. In the course of bis address he stated hat fourteen-fifteenths of the people in his state, California, are without the pale of Christianity; that for the whole territory west of the Rockies the per cent is nine teen twentieths; that in 'Frisco the Dis ciples have but one member to every 730 population; that the young men now en listed under the banner of Bacchus comprise n array greater than had Alexander, Na poleon or Grant; that these young men In the past ten years had committed 70,000 of the 71.444 murders that had been com mitted In the United States during that time. The round table on advance work In Sun day school had to be abandoned because W. A. Harp, who was to have conducted It, has recently lost his father. J. H. Ixtckwood of Cincinnati was Intro duced ss the veteran member of the con vention. He is more than feo years old. has had a continuous pastorate forty-three years and Is still active In It. He assisted In the formation of the American Christian Missionary society in 1849 and had then been a member of the church seven years. Word froaa Haaalala. Walter C. Weeden. a master builder of Honolulu, spoke briefly, telling of the growth of the Disciples' work in Haw-ill and atatlng that the six mlsslonvies were making Inroads on the Asiatic popu lation now. Tha church haa 130,000 worth of property there and wanta $2,400 for five years to continue the Aalatio work. - The music of tha morning was of excep tional excellence. Prof. Constaneo Ull Loucks, professor of voice culture at Corner university, sang "I Must Tell Jesus," and responded to an encore with I Will Go Where You Want Me to Go." Mrs. J. K. Powell, wife of the pastor of tho First Christian church of Wabaah, Ind., sang "Two Lives," aad only Presi dent Breeden prevented the audience forc ing a aecond appearauce. J. W. Hilton sang "The Old Fountain" moat pleasingly. Tbe registration la announced as 5,500. Dr. Tyler's AddreM. Dr. Tyler's aJdress wss ss follows: This convention represents more than 10,000 congregations of evangelical believers. known aa chui cries ot Christ, or Christian ch'irches. This convention represents easily 1,250.000 oeliever-j in Christ who desire to know ana to do illi will in all things, and who de sire to be called only by the names which were, applied to the disciples ot ine Ureal Leader in the apostolic bkc. The religious communion represented In this conveniion began on a movement In the Interest or peace among the followers of the Bon of God. It is the same today. It is a great Christian union movement. Oura la a mission of love, peace, harmony, unity, union. in tne early part or in, nineieenin cen tury, the tlmo of the beginning of this movement, th? church was divide!. There are division Mill, but there is now no such spirit of bitterness as existed then. Schisms were rite, contentions among tne follow ers of the Prince of Peace abounded. Co operation In evangelistic work wna un known. There waa not even co-operation In the distribution ot tho bible among the people, without note or comment. Beets were on the Increase. There waa a famine of the word. Men were perishing for thn nt of the Bread of IJfe. Loyalty to one's own denomination was more highly es teemed than was loyalty to the Lord Christ. Presbyterians fought Methodists, and Meltl odlat fought Presbyterians. Baptists fought all lines of Predo-Baptists and every variety of Predo-Baptlata fought Baptists. It waa war to tne Knile end tne anile to the hilt. Thia wil the condition aa late as the time of the beginning of my min istry. In If any man failed, even nt that late date, to correctly pronounce the Ehtbbolvths cf his party, he was a heretic and ought to b dealt with. Much more waa thia the case nrty years earlier. Mis understandings and misrepresentations were everywhere. Such now well known organi sations aa tne American Mime society, tne American Tract society and the American tiunday School union, were not in existence when the nineteenth century waa born. The prevalent thought in religloua circles waa Calvlniatlc and such Calvinism aa is not so much aa thought of at the present time. Any man who waa nut a Calvlnlst was a damnable heretic. Refers to History, If you think that I misrepresent the con ditions existing among .fligloua people, read any history of the Cumberland Pres byterian church, organised In 10. on "Christianity in tne t nited b'aies. Dy tne Rev. Daniel Dorchester, D. t. Into this unhappy condition ef affairs our fathers came. They aaid: "Let us have peace. We ara brethren. I jet us love one another. Let us abandon our contentions and Join bands in an effort Tor the redemption oi men. There la a famine of the word. Let us give the Bread of Lite to the people who are In the region of death. Let there be liberty of 04iuon. Ws cannot be one In opinions, but we can ba united tn the faith ot the gospel. There ia in reality only one Lord, one faith and one baptism, named In the New Testament. There (a one Lord; let us recognise and ac knowledge his soverela-nty; there is one faith, let u hold to this one faith stead lastly: there la one baptism, let this ba ad ministered In the original way to penitent believers. Let us be satisfied with the teaching of our Lord Jtsua and His elect ainbaiuutdora. Bo may we have peace and unity." Thia waa the aplrlt and this the plea of such men, men full of the Holy Spirit and ot faith, as Barton Stone and Thomas Campbell the prime movers In thia effort to bring about union among Christiana. Read carefully and ponder prayerfully tne uecturation ana Aaura or tne enn tlon Aaswlmicn of ashlncton. Pa., pre pared by Tpr-maa Campbell and given to the world In laus. There is no more Impor tant paper In the hlaloiy ot American Christianity. This now historic document waa heartily and promptly endorsed by AleKsnler (arapbeil, son of lis pious au thor. Alexander Campbell regarded it as containing the essence of tins Catholic Chrlatlan union movement, to which he gave his great Intellect and heart, with burning seal, from the time of the delivery of his firm jiaroursu n lulu, one year ti-r tha publication of I ha EWclaratlon and Ad dreaa. UitUl hia diriar ft ww tbe scenes of earth to be forever with his Ird the 4th day of March, 1'. This Is the real spirit of the movement now. May we re ceive a fresh bapllam of it during this con vention. Reply to flvertore. Two things were ssld In reply to this overture for s cessation of Internecine theological, metaphysical and ecclesiastical war. (li Schism is not a bd ihlna: It Is good; (2 l'nlun 1. therefore, undesirable, and If It were desirable. It Is Impractieanle. To this the reply was: Schism among the neople of od la sinful. Un this noint the sacred writings were freely quoted snd reason was cslled Into court. The response was unanswerable. Schism In the churrh of Clod now Is as wrong, evil, hurtful and sinful as at any time. To voluntarily remain divided Is to voluntarily remain in sin. This great evil must b abandoned. We must repent of It and turn from It, If we would have the ap proval of the Head of the Body, our Lord JesiM Christ, as we must repent of and abandon every other known sin. Our dlvl alona hinder the work of evangelisation at home and abroad and this Is the work of tho Mood-bought Church of Christ. Our loving Iord preyed for the nnlty and visible oneness of believers that the world might receive Him as God's Bon and Messenger. If we have the spirit of the Christ, this also is our prayer. He who does not pray for the unity and peace of Christ's holy church has not the spirit of the Master. But If we pray for unity we must follow after. In our lives, the things that make for peace. In large part the people are now convinced con'-ernlng. If not the absolute, sinfulness if division, then tho unwisdom and unde slrablllty of sectarianism. The number of those who now say that our divisions sre not hurtful, they are really good and help ful. Is exceedingly small. When, however, a representative of this minority Is encoun tered, we cannot do better than to pursue the course pursued by the fathers, that Is. quote the scriptures bearing on the point and appeal tn reason. But let us do this in tne spirit or cnrlstiy gentleness. The reply to the assumption that unity and visible oneness among tho-e who be. neve in Christ to tne savins: ot the soul. such unity and union as that for which we labor. Is Impracticable, wss and Is: 1. The Master prayed for It. Did He ask for what cannot be? . Paul protested against divisions, de. nounced schismatics and plead for unity and union. Was Paul a dreamer? , 3. As a matter of fact, the Church of Christ In the beginning was a unit. Re.id again the book of Arts and see that thia statement is true. "The multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul." Note also that this was the period of the greatest victories. 4. Such organisations aa the American Bible society, the American Tract society, the American Sunday School union, the In ternational Sunday School association and the I'nlted Society of Christian Endeavor. and their work, indicate that union, far In advance of what was once regarded aa feasible, la. In fact, eminently practical. t. Union meetings in towns and cities to bring men to a decision for Christ are prac tical, man is a sinner; jeans is tne savior, and salvation Is found in an unconditional surrender to Him. This is the practical basis on which these meetings are con ducted. ftreat t'liaages and Proa-ress. Since the Inauguration of this Christian union movement in 1W9. by the publication of the Declaration and Address, there have been great changes and wonderful progress In the religloua world, as everywhere else. Some time ago a Christian gentleman ssld to himself: "The sermon of Jonathan Ed wards on 'Sinners in the Handa of An Angry Ood," produced a profound sensa tion at the time of its delivery, in North ampton, In the eighteenth century; its pub lication now will produce a revival." The tfrmon was printed and distributed: the revival did not follow. Why? The reply Is obvious. The people are not, at the be ginning ot the twentieth century, where they were 150 years ago. To know one's Bible is not sufficient. One must know the people also. The times, therefore, aa well as the Hlble, must be studied. It Is always, however, In order to pray as the Christ prayed. It ts slways In order to protest snd plead aa the Spirit filled men of the Apostolic age protested and plead. It Is always in order to say that the church of the first century waa a unit In Its creed. Its ordinances and Its standard of life. It cannot be out of order to affirm that the church ought to be united now In these things Its belief. Its ritual, Its life. While' there have been great changes since the Inauguration' of this movement, the changes have not been so numerous nor of such a character as to make an up-to-date statement of the New Testament teaching on the sin of schism, the impor tance of unity and ita practicability un necessary. There are phases of the question before us of which the men of a hundred years ago, or seventy-five, or fifty. or even twenty-rlve. never heard. Formal proposi tions during this time have been made look ing to the reunion of Chrlstiandom. These must be recognised and reckoned with. These propositions we must meet bravely. Intelligently and In the spirit of Christ, or prove ourselves unworthy sons of noble sires. From this convention we ought to go de termined to make emphatic. Intelligent and intelligible, as at no previous period In our history the necessity and practicability of unity and union by a return In thought, in spirit. In life, to the Christianity of the Christ as it was at the first Its creed, Its ordinances. Its life. May I conclude what I have to say bv suggesting that In this open parliament It will be well to consider the following points: 1. What modification, or modifications, of our proposition on the subject of Christian union ought we to make? 2. What features of our plea for union ought to be made especially prominent to meet the changed conditions? t. In what waya can we promote union among Christiana? EVANGELISTS IN AFTERNOON Problem of Filling; rhorehes anal tun-alas- Schools la Discussed Geaerally. Ths afternoon aesslon at the Coliseum wss given over to the evangelists, who dls cussed their labors, with J. V. Coombs acting aa leader. Following the song service, led by H. A. Eaaton, Charlea Reign Scovel of Chicago conducted a service of prayer. He called to mind the advantages of Invoking the sld of the Almighty In sll times snd places, and enumerated the prayers of Jesus ss given in the New Testament. In cidentally he advocated gymnasiums, libra rles snd smusements ss proper adjuncts to churches. Rev. McXeal spoke on the problem of tilling up the churches and Sunday schools. He showed great reaults that had been accompliahed by a Cincinnati plan, which waa to divide a Sunday achool into two parts, the reds and tbe blues, elect cap tains tor each, and tho aide bringing tha largest sttendance within a certain period won a supper of Ice cream and cake and the losers washed ths dishes. Mr. J. V. Coombs mada a plea for ths "old evangelism snd the "religion of long sgo." He also pointed out the lack of system to the work as compsred with ths work of a great political party. George Sims of Ohio had time to name Ave "obstacles In the way of evangelisa tion." These were: First, tbe apathy ot the professed followers ot Christ; second. ths too frequent rendering of classical urn sic; third, aa oecaslonsl dictatorial, opin ionated pastor; fourth, an unprepared evangelist; fifth, "higher criticism." W. B. Hsrlow ot SprlBgdeld. Mo., ex horted his brother evangelists not . to go before ths people ss a beggar asking Sims, but aa a man, and to let his financial ar rangements with the church be on a bust nesa basla Briefly stated, his plsn of "raising money," s problem thst wss his topic, Is to have pledgee mads at the end of the Srst week of presching. but not to mention ths matter earlier la the week. He particularly emphasized the advisability and propriety of stirring tho wealthier members to glvs liberally. Mrs. McNesl, who baa sided her hus band la his work by taking charge ot the music, sang "Tbs Old House at Home." S. M. Martla told ot "Instructing the Converts," saying: One of the long and deep-felt wanta ot the church has been aome device to Improve the clicking qwjliiua of the converts. I have adopted the plan of a special meeting on the lust Sunday of a revival which only the converts and members of ths Chrlatlan church are permitted to attend. I lusiruc the converts along tbe following lines o practical Christian livinx: Converts mus have appetite, feed, air and exercises, in order to develop. The appetite must be supplied with eul table food "the aincere milk of tne word ' and not the grilled gnatiea oi ntgrter criticism, nor tns specu latlve "fool-oa-o-phles" of men. , Tuey must breeUie sura air, Uurf Is, keep good company the Lord's sheep must not flock with the devil's gnats. They must have exercise: Converts must he put to work. They are urged. Irrespec tive of sge, to become sctlve Chrtetlan Kn deavorers and the women to become mem bers of the atixlllsrv t the Christian Women's Hoard of Misalcns. I Insist that one of our church papers shsll make its weekly visits Into every Christian home. Then dallv Hlble reading, private devotions and hospitality are earn emphasized. I eternally blast the charch letter nuisance. Last and most Itnportsnt Is the Instruc tion which I give on flnanre. Such Instruc tion Is necessary. The evangelist should give It; they will receive It lst from him. and if he neglects it. It Is a delicate matter for the paator to manage after the evan gelist Is gone. It Is a reproach that two. thirds of our church membership do noth ing financially for the cause of Christ. If conversion has not gone deep enough to reach the pocketbook It lacks the change of heart which secures assurance of stability. George F. Hall sdvocated advertising everywhere, and particularly in the news papers. He said that tbe latter were the best possible medium snd be sdvocated as a paying investment the plan of running the pastor's picture at regular space rates. Simpson Ely protested against titling the scholarly divines with degrees or reverends and Incidentally took another swing at church federation, which, he said, Is un sound teaching. James Small talked of the rvanglist's temptations, saying that one is to depend too much on themselves and not enough on Jesus; another to visit at the hrnes to tha neglect of tbe shops and stores, where the men are, and a third to get discouraged. T. J. Lrgg of Indianapolis hurled several kinds of defiance at the resolution of Tues day night, declaring that he was laboring under a higher commission lhau that and he would Ignore It and go where he pleased. He stated that federation would block the work of new churches and the convention had better have adjourned Tuesday after noon than have taken the action it did. Charles Reign Scoville spoke briefly In contradiction of the Insinuation that even- gelists have enly a desire to add numbers without regard to real repentance. He ssld hat he could not believe any of tbe evan gelists present wished rvrr to have one conversion that was not intelligently made and willingly made. The evangelists echoed bia with a chorus of amens. The benediction was pronounced by Evan gelist Northcutt. CHARITIES OF THE CHURCH National Benevolent Aaaociattoa Con sider Work It Haa la Hand. The feature of the meeting of the Na tional Benevolent association, held In con nection with the Christian church conven tion, was tbe address of George H. Combs of Kansas City. This address, which was carefully studied, wss almost an arraign ment of the church for failure to follow the form of benevolence and charity prac ticed by the apostolic church. He opened his remarks by calling attention to the fact that divisions are apparent In the Church of the Disciples snd that men, while claim ing to take tbe Bible aa the only measure of their faith, have come to hold different views of what that Bible Is; thst they have lost the spirit of brotherhood to a great degree, and charge one another with heresy for not accepting the words of the Bible In the spirit in which they accept them. "We have seen this spirit, said the speaker, "In the session ot the general con vention held this morning that shows us where our unit of spirit has gono to. Mem bers of the church are denied membership in the brotherhood of Christ, and where must we expect our appeal for Christian unity? It may be said," he continued, "that we tan find a unity of purpose In missionary effort, but there are tew. among us who could base the preparedness of the mission ary upon hie opinion as to the number of Isaiah's who wrote, and not upon their faith In Christ and their love for the souls of men." The speaker then said that in the appeal of the Christian church for a return to the apostolic practices they bad too greatly overlooked one of the most Important ot those practices, thst of practical charity, that the early Christians were celebrated for their love of their fellows and their great benevolences; that the Church of the Disciples, born In warfare, having tho hands of all denominations turned against them. were forced to educate the mind, and that perhaps this education had been made at some sacrifice of the heart, so that while the ministers and leaders were great de baters snd could bring sn appeal home to the brain of man they could not appeal to bis heart as the preachers of other denomi nations have done; that while men cbarge brothers with being heretics of the head there has never been one charged with be ing a heretic of the heart; that the leaders are more anxloua to know what a man be lieves upon higher criticism then what he believes and does In the practice of charity. He then said that the divisions of opinion could be lost sight ot In the Joys of service; thst the growth of the eerly Christian church was becsuse of the love of man showed by the members, .and that tbe growth of the 8alvatlon Army was due to the work it did among the poor and lowly. The Greeks built an altar to Beauty; the Romans to Might, but It wss for the fol lowers of Jesus Christ to build sn sltsr to Pity." He closed by saying thst It was ths duty of each member of the church to sup port the society snd Its Institutions. Previous to the address Mrs. L. u. Bants of St, Louis delivered the address of ths president In the absence of tbe president. The report of the corresponding secretary wa received, showing that during the year the society had received In donations and other sources land valued at $68,000 and cash, $14,100; that two new institutions had been opened, one at East Aurors, N. T., tor old people and one at Cleveland, O., for orphans, snd that a western orphans' home Is to be erected st Loveland, Colo., on land donated for that purpose. The report of the treasurer showed total recelpta of $15,633.55 and expenditures of $12,542.37. Then came the reports of the managers of tbe Centrsl Orpbsos' horns at St. Louis, ths Central Old People's home at Jacksonville, 111., the Eastern Old People's horns at East Aurora, N. Y.; the Cleveland Orphans' home, the Babies' Home and Hospital at St. Louis, and the Western Orphans' horns st Lovs- lsnd, Colo. These reports were all of an encouraging nature and showed each insti tution to be In good condition. ' A new constitution for the association was adopted; after having been prepared by the board of control, and under that con- stitutlon officers were elected as follows President, Mrs. H. M. Meier; first vice pres ident. Mrs. J. H. Garrison; second vies president. Dr. Sophia L. Kern; correspond ing secretary, Mrs. J. K. Hanabrough; recording secretary, Mrs. R. P. Dodd; treas urer, Mrs. W. L. Harrison. Mrs. O. C Shedd. who has been recording secretary since the foundstion of the association, re tired, as she preferred to devote herself to tbw work of the Babies' Home and Hospital and under the new laws could not do that snd hold a place on tbe official board.

Haggard of Drake uni versity took up the subject of a ministerial training. After tbe reading of the ad dresses a business session followed, which was devoted to the discussion of a report read by Prof. Woolery, which was finally adopted, as a memorial to the American Christian Educational society, suggesting that they secure and place In the field a general educational secretary to advance the cause of education. The meeting was greatly shortened by tbe departure ot dele gates, who were forced to hurry to their trains. Forced 'o Dlaappolat Frleada. One of the regrets of the convention waa that Miss Rebecca Olvans, one of the sweet singers of eastern Iowa, who was to hsve contributed to tbe program, waa unable to do so becsuse of a severe throat trouble. She has been the guest of Mrs. Florence Smith of 1008 Georgia avenue, but leaves today, "with my precious voice carefully packed In flannel." aa she remarked to disappointed friends who crowded about her at the Coliseum last night Visit f Cadafcr's.

M. C. A. Concert. The opening concert of the season by the Toung Men's Christian association, or, rather, under ita auspices, was given last night at Boyd's theater to an audience which filled the bouse. The boxes even were filled and, If they were not particu larly noticeable for their "dress" effects. they doubtless represented the "earnings" at the boxofflce, to a degree. Tbe gallery was inclined to be "rambunctious" at tbe start, but some unseen influence was ap- parenly exerted to quell the exuberance which found expression In offering gratui tous advice to the participants on tbe pro gram. The concert program was made up of numbers which were very evidently a con cession to a "popular" taste snd aa the Toung Men's Christian association course Is of a popular nature one cannot rebel. Prom a musical standpoint it seemed a pity that aa artist of George Hamlin s standing should be heard only in numbers which sre well known to the average stu dio frequenter. Especially, In consideration of the fact thst Mr. Hamlin la conceded by tbe best critics In this country to be un questionably the greatest Amerlcsn expo nent of the works of Richard Strauss that prophet of the new form In song. Richard, the Dauntless, however, even had he been expounded by George tbe Good, would havs fallen flat on the majority of the auulence last night, and Mr. Hamlin did wisely in singing those things which were self-explanatory. Hia voice ia beau tiful, well poised and equal to all demands. His singing Is ot the Intellect, and ot the heart. He is a great artist In every sense of the word. Mrs. Sue Harrington Furbeck made a pro nounced hit with the audtence by the gen eral good fellowship ot her singing. It came from the heart and went to the heart, and if her tones in tha little Nevln song, "Mighty Lak a Rose," were heavier than necessary, especially in the upper quality, there was a heart back ot It, and therefore tacet. Mrs. Furbeck has a glorious voice bwif Pride oau! 2 AN LNPRECtDLNTED OPPORTUNITY .Nee u re an Household Necessity Without Cost Article Needed in Your Home Every Day 250 Full 25c Size Bottles of the Wonderful Healing Remedy I7D- supply will not last long. i. n j i fi LfU U 1 EVERY WOMAN I Housekeepers, wives, mothers, every woman wno nas tne care oi m lamllv or Household, baa at one time or another spells of backache, nervous weakness, sick headache and dis order in the digestion, caused as a rule by domestic worry, overwork, irregular meals or habitual constipation.
