NUMBER 161.
Splendid Sermon by Bishop Vincent at
Morning Service—Children’s Exhi
bition Saturday Night.
The Eighteenth annual assembly ot
the Georgia Chautauqua closed yester
day with afternoon services at the au
ditorium, Bishop John H. Vincent, of
Indianapolis, delivering a short ad
dress.
The children’s physical culture
classes gave their annual exhibition
Saturday evening,‘and the closing ser
mon was delivered yesterday morning
by BlBhop Vincent.
The assembly was one of the most
successful In the long and Interesting
history of an Institution which has
won for Itself a firm position In the
moral, religious and educational life
of this section, and those who have
enjoyed the daily sessions will long
experience the Inestimable benefits.
A large audience greeted the classes
of the physical culture department on
Saturday evening. The evening of the
last day of every Chautauqua week
has been reserved for the young folks
ever since the first assembly, and
there Is always great Interest In their
work.
Miss Ida Virginia Smith, director of
this Important branch of the assem
bly’s work, has been unusually suc
cessful with this year's classes. She
began her work nearly six weeks ago,
and met the children at the auditorium
dally until the close of the assembly.
The Instruction Included the breath
ing exercises, to which so much impor
tance Is now attached by physical cul
ture directors, and whloh. proved ex.
ceedlngly beneficial to the little folks,
Other new departures were Introduced
and thoBe who have carefully watched
Miss Smith’s work feel that she has
helped the children Immeasurably.
The classes gave a beautiful exhibi
tion Saturday evening. The children
were simply but charmingly attired,
We liaw in Stock the Celebrated
Case Engines
and invite Inspection.
One customer tells us he
hauled two car loads of freight
at one trip over an ordinary
Country Road. ,
We also carry

in stock in all sizes.
and as they went through the various
exercises they were enthusiastically
applauded. The dumb-bell and Indian
club drills were especially pretty, and
the bearing of boys and girls alike was
all that could have been desired.
The physical culture department
work Is of great benefit to the chil
dren of Albany. They show the effect
of It In their physical appearance and
In the vigor of their constitutions, and
It Is hoped that In the not distant fu
ture means will be found for enabling
them to enjoy It nine months In the
year Instead of six weeks.
In the boys' jumping contests the
prizes were won by Masters Carl Neu
man and Charles Smith.
The Closing Sermon.
Bishop John H. Vincent preached
the closing sermon of the assembly
yesterday morning to one of the most
attentive congregations that ever sat
in the auditorium.
Rev. T. H. Thomson, Rev. Charles
T. Wright, Rev. W. L. Richards and
Rev. W. H. Ziegler assisted in the ser
vice, which lasted about an hour , and
a hall The musical program Included
two boIob by Mr. Hallam, this service
being the occasion of his last appear
ance.
Bishop Vincent preached frdm the
7th verse of the 103rd Psalm: “He
made known His ways unto Moses,
His actB unto the children of Israel."
A sermon by Bishop. Vincent Is like
an Inspired benediction In the lives of
those who hear It. He is, as has been
stated In these columns, one of the
most Interesting men In this country,
and few have seen ns much ot the
world. Few, It may be added, have
learned as great lessons from what
they have seen, or are as capable of
Importing to others tills rare knowl
edge. The bishop's venerable pres
ence Is Inspiring, and when he preach
es there seems to radiate from him
something not of earth. No audience
In Albany wns ever more deeply
moved than that to whloh he preached
yesterday morning, and seeds were
implanted In many a heart and mind
which will bear fruit In the years to
come.
The sermon was on the line of the
reasonableness of an assumption that
the infinite Intelligence should In some
way make itself known to the finite
Intelligence, and the speaker proceed
ed to an exposition of some of the
ways In which the Creator has re
vealed Himself to the creature.
The purpose of this revelation was
shown, and It was contended that from
the very time of the beginning of cre
ation the process of God’s revelation
of Himself has been In progress.
Bishop Vincent Is broad and liberal
In his views on religious questions,
and he made many a statement yester
day which a man of narrower views
or smaller ability would not and could
not have ventured without disaster;
but the blBhop Is never on shaky
ground, and whatever he asserts In
the pulpit or on the platform carries
conviction and silences criticism.
His great sermon yesterday waB a
fitting close of a great assembly.
Those who had heard went away bet
ter men and women; and to that end
was born the Chautauqua idea.
Talk on the C. L. 8. C.
At 6 p. m. there were vesper ser
vices In the auditorium, and Bishop
Vincent made a short but exceedingly
Interesting talk on the C. L. S. C.
(Chautauqua Literary and Scientific
Circle)—doubly Interesting because
the speaker founded the mother Chau
tauqua, and has been an active leader
In C. L. S. C. work for a number of
years.

AN UNDERTAKER’S
BIG BILL.
Salt Lake City, Utah, April 30.—Af
ter being on the docket for nearly two
years the case of H. Rasmussen
against the Union Pacific Coal Com
pany came np for trial in the United
States district court today. This Is
the case in which Rasmussen, who
was an undertaker, sues the Union
Pacific Company for $27,000, which he
claims as.recompense for burying the
bodies of 168 miners, who were killed
In the Hanna mine disaster of several
years ago. The company has refused
to pay the bill on the ground that the
charges are grossly excessive.
E.
Cantaloupes in Particular
Danger, While in Certain
Localities Cotton Is Not
Yet Up.
Rain is sadly needed by the crops of
this section, which ore now at a crit
ical Btage of their development.
Cantaloupes are In special danger,
Where the plants were of early growth
and have attained fair size, they are
holding their own remarkably well,
and will he able, from present Indica
tions, to stand several days more of
heat and drought. But the plants
which were just getting out of the
ground when the weather entered up
on the present trying stage have eith
er been killed or are In such condition
that they will die unless they receive
rain In the course of the next few
days.
One planter In this county Is today
replanting wherever his vines have
died, and for this purpose he Is having
to haul water Into the field and satu
rate the ground wherever he drops
a seed. The artificial moisture will
cause these seed to germinate, but the
plants will live but a few days unless
they receive rain.
In certain portions of this county,
particularly on the east side of the
river, where cotton was planted later
than In the Oaky Woods district, a
great deal of cotton Is not yet out of
the ground. The seed, In many In
stances, will dot germinate, even after
a rain, having lost their vitality as the
result of the long sun-baking process
through which they have passed.
Cotton which had gained a good
stand before the drought began Is do
ing nicely. The plant, once Its growth
le well begun, can stand a great deal
of dry weather, but a general rain is
now badly needed all along the line.
All crops, including strawberries and
those of the truck variety, would be
benefited by a rain, while some are
suffering severely because of the lack
of moisture.
