The fifty-fourth anniversary celebration
of Trinity Methodist Sunday School, which
took place at the church last evening, passed
ofi very agreeably and satisfactorily to all
concerned. The church was crowded, and
the exercises were of a very interesting
character. The altar was very handsomely
decorated with flowers, and was generally
admired.
About eight o’clock the various classes
composing the Sunday School inarched into
the church and took their positions in the
front pews that had been specially reserved.
The exercises were then opened’with sing-
ng the Bong “O, We are Volunteers,” fol
lowed by reading from the scriptures by
Rev. E. H. Myers, D. D., pastor of the
church, and the song “Sunday School War
Cry.”
PRESENTATION OF BANNERS.
Tho Superintendent then called the dif
ferent claseos, and the standard bearerB
advanced and handed up their banners,
which were then planted in systematic order
around the altar. They were as follows :
Mrs. Mallery’s class—“Thy Kingdom
Come."
Mr. Houston’s ClaBS—“ The Wise Shall
Inherit Glory.
Mrs. McNorrell’s class—“Those that Seek
Early Me Shall Find Me.”

Us.”
Miss Georgia Landershine’s class—” God
is Love.”
Miss F. A. Dorsett’s class—” Tho Lord
Reigneth.”

Shepherd I shall not Want.”
Miss J. A. Mustin’s Class—“I love them
that love me, and they that seek me early
shall find me.”
Dr. Myers’s Class—“A good name is rather
to be chosen than great riches, and loving
favor rather than silver and gold,
J. H. Hosborne’s Class—“The Lord is my
Rock.”
Mrs. Harmon’s Class—“Christ is Risen.”
Mrs. Walker’s class—“We Love Him Be
cause He First Loved Us.”
Miss Imogene Dixon’s class—“Wisdom is

MisB Stanley’s class—“Worker of Faith.”
Mrs. E. H. Myer’s class—“To Him that

Trust.”
Class 17—“Fear God and keep Hig Com
mandments.”
G. C. Saussy’s class—“Blessed are the
Merciful.”
Mrs. Gen. Harrison’s class—“He Feedeth
Among the Lilies.”
After the presentation of thebanneis, a
duet was sung by two young lady members
of the choir, entitled “That will be Heaven
to Me,” nhich was followed by the Superin
tendent reading his report for the past
year.
‘All for Jesus” was then sung very effec
tively by a quartette of young gentlemen
connected with the school.
Rev. A. M. Wynn, pastor of Wesley
Church, followed in a lengthy address in re
gard to Sunday Schools, their origin, etc.,
and gave a number of sketches illustrative
of the object he desired to impress upon the
minds of the Sunday School children.
After this address a collection was taken
up for the benefit of the library, and the
exercises were closed by singing the song,
“We Shall Meet By-and-by,” and the bene
diction.
In conclusion, we may mention that the
Superintendant stated that the banner used
Courtesies to the Press Convention.

formed of cards, oo which was printed the
different names of Jesns as given in the
Bible. Each class held a card, and as the
name upon it was called out by Mr. Baker,
the child would take it np, accompanied by
another child, with a wreath ot flowers,
during which time the whole school would
repeat the verse from which the name was
taken. Mr. Wakelee would receive tbe card
and place it in position in the cross, while
tome one else would take tbe wreath and
hang it on the outside of the moss back

names were arranged as follows:

mysteries of the human mind, and to read
the characters on the walls of the chambers
of the brain. Two or three audiences com
posed of the best and clearest-headed citi
zens have left his Exhibitions delighted, sur
prised and mystified, believing that here
indeed was something beyond their appre
hension, and even beyond their speculation,
to explain. Many perhaps went away from
the Theatre impressed with a kind of awe
some feeling, as though they bad been in tbe
regions of the supernatural, or worse, had
witnessed some manifestations of a fearful
sort ot diablerie. And yet a theory lias been
for some time advanced by some one un
known to the writer, that seems to explain
his whole system, upon ideas at once
Biinple and scientific. It may be of some
interest to give this theory and apply it to
the methods adopted hv Professor Brown.
Before entering upon any disonssion of
the rational basis of the manifestations of
the mind reader’s power, let us understand
what he really does.
Does Prof. Brown really read the thoughts
or the subject ? Does he pass ever so short
a distance behind the barrier which divides
the material from the immaterial ? If so,
what is to prevent him from penetrating to
the very arcana of the consciousness ? If
he reads tho mind of his subject as he walks
him rapidly around the auditorum, why can
he not better read it standing quietly with
him upon the stage. The Professor explains
this apparently unnecessary qoickneBS of
motion uu the ground that as he is pursuing
thought, he must move rapidly. Yes, he
mast—very rapidly. Perhaps the Professor
thiuks that “he who runs may read.”
Again, imagining for a moment|that he
really does read tbe thoughts of the subject,
why the’necessity or leaving tbe stage ? To
illustrated is carried uj on the stage and to d
to fix liis mind upon some person in the au
dience. He selects B. Now, is A’s conception
of B any less vivid when he stands upon the
stage looking down on B than when he is
dragged by the * mind reader rapidly around
the room, though he may be taken nearer
to B ? Manifestly not; his clearest con
ception of B. is when he stands calmly and
collectedly upon the stage, and not when
walking quickly through the room, dodgmg
the corners of the benches, his mind dis
tracted by tbe laughter of the audience
and by his own sense of the ludicrous, and
the point of strongest concentration of
mind is when tho Professor, after making
roady, cautious him to fix his mind steadily
on the object before commencing that fear
ful journey arouDd tho room. It is just at
this point then that the mind reader ought
to seize the nimble thought.
These queries and difficulties ought to
suggest themselves to every one who wit
nesses Professor Brown's boisterous and
laborious method of mind reading, and
should suggest to him some simpler man
ner of explaining those results which
astonish and delight us all.
To come now to the theory to
which reference has been made. First,
howevtr, bear in mind the uselessness
of the Professors leaving tbe stage at all,
and the worse than nselesBness of his very
undignified run among the aisles and
benches of the auditorium, if he can really
read the thoughts of the subjects presented
to him; but mark the propriety and the
absolute necessity of both under the theory
about to be presented.
Professor Brown, it is held, does not read
the minds of his audience, as it is commonly
supposed, but reads their muscles and their
nerves; or, to speak mere correctly, perhaps
reads their minds through these media.
Perhaps the meaning will be clearer if we
take an example. Take the test first pre
sented by the Professor to a Savannah au
dience. A gentlemaq hides a small article
in the pit of the theatre, which the Profes
sor is to find by reading bis mind. If this
was to be done at all, it coaid but be done
on tbe stage, lor, as before stated, the mind
of tbe subject was probably most strongly
concentrated as he first braced himself for
the experiment, just before the walk
began, and, furthermore, his conception
of the articlejsecieted was juBt as vivid from
his position on the stage as
it was when he was within two feet of the
cache. And yet the Professor must walk
with him before ho can find it, because tbe
propinquity of the article is betrayed by the
subject through some involuntary muscuisr
action, by an unconscious gravitation
towards the object, or perhaps by an almost
imperceptible moving off, or by a quicken
ing or a lowering of the rate of speed with
which the subject follows, or by some slight
sign not intended or noticed, bat entirely
involuntary in the parson operated upon,
and yet keenly felt by the watohful and
practiced Professor. Or, perhaps, the more
rapid beating of the heart as the search gets
“warmer,” as the ohildren say, may, by
sending the blood tingling to the finger
tips of tbe left hand, record tbe fact on the
extremely sensitive forehead of the mind
reader.
The same principle applies to the making
of the proper turnB down one or another
aisle. The subject knowing the course to be
pursued, aod expecting the Professor
to lead him by if, shows some
slight involuntary indisposition to take
a certain course if wrong, or a
readiness to pnrsue it if right, whiob is read
witqont much difficulty by tne Professor,
who has learned, by long and careful prac
tice, the many slight involuntary signs by
Which the subject's choice is discovered,
and by which, in some Mesree, his mind is
really read.
This shows plainly why the Professor is
obliged to bring the subject near to the
place where hie mind is fixed, and it proba
bly also explains that rapidity of movement
winch seems so unnecessary (unless, in
deed, the mind reader is really endeavoring
to outwalk thought), for every slight hesi
tation, every start or thrill, is communicated
more readily when there is a pulling-away,
as must be the ease owiDg to this very ra
pidity of moyemerit. Sligbt'mqtiqni oi §ny
sort would not be felt were the Professor
and the subject to saunter through tho room
in the position invariably takeD, or to illus
trate by a simple comparison, tba slight
jerk is not felt at the other end of » rope
qnless the rope be' taut
Let os see if tbi9 idea cannot be mort
fully illustrated by another ease which oc
curred at the Savannah Theatre on the first
pight. The writer hopes that the gentle
men to whom reference has once or twice
been made in thi? artiole will pardoq him
for bringing' them into notice, eyen in go
indirect a manner. A gentleman, chosen to
fix ills mind npqn the initials of gome per
son (‘intfie agdienee,” is order, as it seems,
to make an experimenlunt crucis, choee pur-
poeely some one on the stage. Now, alTtha
other persons on whom the subjects had
fixed then minds had been chosen from the
audi nee, and all tbe articles had been
secreted iu the auditorium, and as the Pro
fessor commenced, his march, he doubtless
found tbe subjects, as it were, with right
foot foremost, ready to pass from tbe stage;
but here, we submit, he must have observed
some slight involuntary reluctance or want
of instant readiness, which conveyed to his
keen senses the fact that the short journey
which be took through the audience was
unnecessary. Returning to the stage he
probably found the person selected after
the manner we have described, though we
can’t help suggistmg that in this particular
case his labors may have been simplified by
a slight effort ot his memory iu connecting
the initials just spelled oat’ with the name
of the chairman of the committee.
This same system can be traced through
all his performances. He finds tbe general
position of the letter choseD by the same
means that he finds the secreted article,
and the right letter, by a careful trial,
looking closely for any sign that will enable
him to locate it with sufficient definiteness
to enable him to declare it to the audience.
He locites the pain, real or imaginary,
by the same mians, passing his hand from
one part of the subject’s body to another
until an involuntary start or an increased
rapidity of the heart-beats assures him that
he has located the pain.
Of course,**!! this requires great skill,
careful practice and keen faculties, but it is
tounded upon a natural and scientific basis,
and explains, the writer holds, the modus
of the mind reader’s wonderful manifesta
tions.
One thing more : the writer has endeav
ored to explain this theory as briefly and
clearly as he could, and he has bnt to add
his personal experience which, he thinks,
goes to confirm it. Fiat ex.perimf.ntum in
vili corpore. He too has been one of the
mind reader’s subjects, it matters not when
nor where, and he with shame records that
the Professor failed on him, thUB indirectly
ranking him with those easily mesmerised
or those who cannot concentrate their
thoughts, or who have none to concentrate,
or who are illiterate, for on these classes tho
Professor says he fails.
Seriously though, the writer believes that
Professor "jBrown failed with him because
this theory just propounded is the true one,
and the subject being firmly convinced that
he understood the mind reader’s method
was guarded against allowing bis muscles
to betray his mind. He determined to give
as fair an opportunity as possible to tbe
Prolessor, and certainly conoentra'ed all
the powers of his feeble mind asw&B directed,
bat at tbe same time, he gave himself np
passively to the mind reader, and let that
worthy lead whithersoever he list, taking
care not to betray by tho slightest motion
either towards or from it the position to
which the Professor was to take him, not
changing his pace in the slightest, except as
his leader did, and calming himself as far
as possible, so that no nervous agitation or
beating of the heart Bhould betray his near
ness to the right spot. He conib not, how
ever, avoid testing his belief by once or
twice giving the slightest possible start
when in the wrong place, which had the ef
fect of bringing the mind reader to an in
stant halt. At last, tired of his undignified
jonrney through the hall, and finding that
the sympathies of the audience were with
the Professor and against the unfortunate
subject, who was charitably supposed to be
too dazed to be able to concentrate his
thought, he determined to end the farce,
and carried the mind reader bv unmistak
able motions to the proper place. All tbiB
was not dono with any purpose of making
the Professor fail, but his failure was
a natural consequence of the writer’s
ideas on tbe subject, and he
thinks, a Btrong proof of their correctness;
and, moreover, the writer was unwilling to
have the Professor experiment with him, as
he felt firmly convinced that failure would be
the consequence, and he so stated to one in
the audience before the merest chance, and
not bis selection by tbe committee, caused
him to be tbe subject of the mind reader’s
psychologic experiments. Skeftic.

The Music at the Cathedral Dedication.
I notice that in reporting the ceremonies
of the dedication of the new Cathedral it
was inadvertantly neglected to speak of the
grand musical performance. Never before
was such a grand combination of orchestral
and vocal music offered for the enjoyment
of the citizens of Savaunah, or any other
Southern citv. Tbe Mass of Greith, a com
position in the genuine old classical church
style, required extended and persevering
study, especially with amateur musicians,
of whom many possessed merely the rudi
ments of mnsic.
The cborusses “Ecce Magnus” (by Hat:-
niscb No. 2), “Veni Sancte SpirituB,” also
“Domine Deus,” by Stehlo, and the “xe
Dcum,” by Lambillotte, were ouly taken
up for study during the last week. The
orchestral parts of the “le Deum” could
not be found anywhere in the United States,
and Kapellmeister Schultze was compelled
to arrange the twenty odd parts for the
different orchestral instruments within the
few preceding days.
The universal testimony of those who
attended tbe performances, is that Mr.
Schnltze performed his task in the most
admirable manner, as could not otherwise
be expeoted from an artist of bis ability and
a mnsic director of his experience.
The professional musicians called from
Charleston and Augusta, could at-
t nd only one rehearsal, the tidal
one, and notwithstanding this draw
back performed their parts well. Every
body was charmed and astonished to find
that bo much was accomplished in so short
a time.
The chorus and orchestra consisted of
over one hundred performers, who were all
inspired by a trne musical spirit, and there
fore did their best. The music they gave
came trom their hearts, and, therefore,
went to the hearts of tbe auditory.
The organ was presided over by Mad.
Von der Hoya Schultze. We wish that that
eminent virtnosa had had a better organ—
an instrument that would have suited bet
ter the splendor of the building and the
taleut of the player. But the old organ of
the old Cathedral had been carried over to
the new Cathedral, and its repairs were not
completed. Some of the most important
stops (as trumpets, hautbois and others)
wore missing entirely and the general pitch
defective. Only an artist of Madame
Sehultze’s calibre could, under such cir
cumstances, establish the necessary har
mony between orchestra and chorus. The
thanks of the whole Catholic community
and all tboso who had the pleasure of en
joying the musical feast given is dno to the
artist couple, and to all those volunteering
in the performance. X.
