The Sixth session of the Mountain Grove Chautauqua Assembly was held at Mountain Grove, Pa., during the second week in August, and under the efficient management of Mr. Myron I. Low, President of the Assembly, assist ed by many earnest workers, it was in deed an enjoyable season. Not only was it appreci .ted by Chautauquans, but all in the tented grove seemed to catch the spirit of enthusiasm. Recognition day of the C. L. S. C. so dear to true Chautauuuans : the dav that recognizes the patient labor of years, by awarding of diplomas and seals, dawned bright and beautiful August 8th. To Chautauquans and friends com ing only for this day, the new Golden Gate just beyond the evergreen arch, was an object of interest and favorable comment. Early in the mornm?. Miss Helen Jameson. Chairman of committee on Decorations, concen trated her forces in the auditorium, and deft fingers guiding, ferns, golden rod, and wild clematis seemed to fall readily in place, and soon transformed it into wondrous beauty. In an arch just above the nodding flowers, in let ters of evergreen, was the name of the class of '91, "Olympians." The Bloomsburg orchestra and Y. M. C. A. Quartette, aided throughout the day by furnishing excellent music, as did also Miss Ruth Thompson, of Washington. D. C, who rendered very sweetly, solos, both in the morning and afternoon. At 10:30 a. m. the exercises of the day were begun by some selections from the orchestra, followed by responsive sentences, Chautauqua songs, prayer by Rev. Deaver, music by the Y. M. C. A. Quartette, and an address of welcome by Mr. Myron I. Low, of which the following is a part : "As old earth rolled up from the shadows this morning, the orb of the opening day gilded mountain tops, scattered the gold in the valleys, greet ed the dewy, sleepy, nodding flowers, and warmed them into wakefulness ; so there is rolled up from the eterni ties another recognition day, and the Chautauqua Organization of Mountain Grove, gives you their best and bris;ht- est welcome. May this day be full of sunshine lor our souls, and warm unto beautiful wakefulness the best ele ments of our being : We welcome you to these Forest Shades, and give you our heartiest greetings. Miss Ruth Thompson then delight ed the audience with her rendering of "Calvary." Rev. Theo. F. Clark, of Brooklyn, Lecturer of the morning, was intro duced, and pleased all very much, with his "Knapsack Journey from New York to Central India." Mr. Clark has the happy faculty of presenting his lecture as though relating the story of his travels for the first time, and his descriptions are very fine, At 2:00 p. m., the bell rang for Busi ness meeting of C. L. S. C. at the Tabernacle, after which meeting a procession was formed headed with twenty or thirty little girls in white, carrying baskets of flowers, followed by the classes in regular order. Mr. John R. Rote acted as marshal, and to music by the orchestra, the proces sion moved down Central Ave., through the evergreen arch, around the circle discribed by the tents, and on to the Golden Gate. Here a Golden Gate service was held, consisting of responsive readings, music, and the following beautiful poem, written by Mrs. II. G. Jayne, dedicating the Golden Gate ; "A thing of beauty," joy and (jrace To-day, in Mountain drove we place As now, we come to dedicate To C. I.. S. C. this Golden Gale. To science, Literature and Alt ; To all that purine the heart ; To truth, and Poesy and Song ; To wisdom, and her stately throng ; To Faith and Hope, fair sisters twain, To Love, the fairest of the train ; To what in life, is good and great We dedicate this Golden Gate. May no rude hands its charms deface, No storm, destroy its pristine grace ! Oh I wondrous gale of golden hue, A word of praise to thee Is due 1 The strongest metal forms thy frame And the most precious gives thee name, While he who passes neath thine arch, To surest victory doth march. Yea, none hut he, who strives to win Cm at thy threshold, enter in, Forever closed thy portals be To all who tome, unworthily 1 Chautauquans, cherish weir this gate And all its merits, emulate ; Then, let it but an emblem be Of greater honors waiting thee For when our life work here is done, lis lessons lenrned, its laurels won, In triumph, wiih rejoicings great, May we reach Heaven's Golden Gale. II. G. Javvb The gate was then opened by Rev. John Horning, Keeper, with a guard on either side to sec that none but those worthy should pass through. The class of '91 were the first to enter, and as the class proceeded to the audi torium, followed by a host cf fellow Chautauquans, the Dower girls lining either side of the way scattered their treasures. Prof. E. K. Richardson addressed the Assembly, taking as his text C. I S. C, making it stand for Culture, Love and Sociability connected. In a few brief remarks he showed tnat this was the aim of the true Chautauquan, and could but lead to a happv, success ful life. Miss Edith Barton read the class poem, a beautiful production, written by Margaret E. sangster. Letters of greeting from Dr. Jesse J llurllwt and Dr. John II. Vincent, and Dr. Edward E. Hale were read as follows: Chautauqua, N. Y. Aug. 3r.L 1891 I'o The Class of '01 at Mountain Grove Assembly, Dear fellow students : From the Chautauqua, which is the mother of us all, I send greeting to the "Olympians" at the Mountain Grove Assembly. You have run well, and you leceive the reward, of which your diploma is only the testimonial, vou have obtained as the result ot your four years effort, the crown of knowledge, which shall not soon fade. I congratulate you, one and all, upon the purpose with which ;ou began, and the perseverance with which you nave completed your course of study, May the Master of us all, our exemplar and our king, crown you with eternal glory and honor. Sincerely your friend, (Signed) Jesse L Huri.but. Chautauqua, N. Y.Aug. 4th, 1891, My Dear Friends and Fellow-Chaut auquans : 1 am sorry not to oe able to join you on recognition my. 1 am sorry not to be able to give you a long letter of encouragement and advice for that occasion, but, in lieu of speech and lengthy communicalion, accept this word of salutation. All hail to the Chautauquans of Mountain urove Camp I 1 he new year begins a course of study more interesting, and of greater practical value, than anything the C. L. S. C. has ever attempted. We be gin in October with American History, American Literature, and American Institutions The Chautauquan will be full of American papers. At this time, the beginning of the Fifth cen tury after rhe discovery of America, we need to give especial attention to our American civilization, its oriem its development, the divine elements in it, and the main duties devolving upon us the outgrowth of its ideas and aims, ine class ot 95 will take, therefore, for its first year. American Historv. The Second year it will take ureek History, and through the Chau tauquan study the relations of the Greek civilization to our American civilization. The third year it wiil do the same in connection with English History and Literature. Thus the class of '95 will take up the American idea in the light of all the civilization. Dr. Herbert Adams, of Johns Hopkins University, will be the President of the class of '95. and Miss Jane Meade Welsh, of Buffalo, N. Y., the Secretary. We want twenty thousand members in that class Give us a hearty endorse ment at Mountain Grove, and enroll the largest class for '95 that you have ever had on your lists. With greetings to all the members on this happy occasion, and with an earnest prayer that the Father may ever "'dwell in the midst" while you "study the Word and the works of God," I exhort you "never to be dis couraged," and in all your life work to "look up and to lift up." Ever faithfully yours, (Signed) John H. Vincent. Roxhurv, Mass., Aug. 5 th, 1891. Dear Feilow-Chantauquans : I remember with great pleasure the Chautauqua day I spent with your cir cles. I am glad to see good accounts of them from month to month. I think we should be satisfied with nothing less than the extending of our system of Home Education, or some thing like it, into every family, the higher education, as it is called, is not an aristocratic privilege for a few favored people of the higher classes, so called. One man can enjoy it as much as another. In proportion as it is found in every house, there will be less drunkenness, less gambling, less misery of all the kinds which are fed by idleness, ignor ance and selfishness. Truly yours. In His Name. Edwaru E. Hale. Diplomas were conferred by Mr. Myron 1. Low to the graduating class with an address of commendation and encouragement. Mr. Low also read a very excellent poem, by Mrs. H. G. Jayne, entitled "A Plea for Chautauqua," after which Mr. Gearhart read the following re solution, which was unanimously ad opted, and a copy of which the secre tary was requested to send to Mrs. Jayne t Mountain Grove Chautauqua Assem bly, Aug. 8th, 1891. Whereas it has come to our know ledge that Mrs. H. G. Jayne, of the class of 1886, who was the first and efficient secretary of the Mountain Grove Chautauqua Assembly, is now. and nas been for several months con fined to her room, and is therefore un able to participate with us in the Chautauqua work : And whereas in the past years her words of cheer, and her wise counsel have materially aided in making the Chautauqua movement a success here, and her poems of to-day still show her interest and her love for that good work ; Therefore. Be it resolved. That we the Chautauquans at Mountain Grove Assembly, on Recognition I )ay, tender to her the deepest sympathy in this the time of her affliction, recommend her to the teachingsoflheChartuquanaidea and pray that she may "never be dis couraged," and that she may be speed ily restored to perfect health, and to her accustomed public place with those who "Study the Word and Works of God." (Signed) Mrs. I. II. Seesholtz, Secretary During these exercises, Miss Ruth Thompson sang most beautifully, "Just as I am," and the Quartette several selections that were much appreciated The Round Table at 7:o was very delightful, and the question, "How has Chautauqua Readings Benefitted You?" brought forth many good answers, chief oi which was. It gives a taste for the best class of literature, and adds much happiness to the life 01 the reader. The last feature of the program, the Camp Fire, with its luscious roasting ears was by no means the least enjoy able. Everybody enjoyed it, and es- pecia'ly t'le boys, who with long hooked sticks were ready lor the corn long be fore'thc ear haJ reached the fire. Music by the Quartett added much to the entertainment of the large num ber assembled. Ere the crowd dispersed the Annual Chautauqua picnic was announced. and all Chautauqua and friends urged to attend, Aug. 27, 1891 at Rupert, i'a.

Go into the poultry business, but don't go into it on some one else's money. There is money in the chicken bus iness, but it takes a good bit of atten tion. And the work is no small item; if you work for a dollar a day you are expected to earn that dollar. Don't expect to invest a few dollars in poultry, then loaf around and ex pect your birds to earn your money. If you do you may expect disappoint ment. The United States does not produce eggs enough to supply the markets. Large quantities are shipped annually from foreign countries. So there is no danger of glutting the market. By getting good stock and using judgment and common sense and giv ing them proper time and attention, anyone can make a success of poultry raising. A W. CONNOR'S ANSWER TO R. H. SINGER- Editors of the Columbian, Gentlemen: Mr. R. H. Singer in his answer to I). M. Kinter has used my name and I wish to make a few statements. Singer says : "A. W. Connor claiming to be Slate Evangel 1st, who is known to have told several malicious falsehoods about me to the elders at Stillwater anu others as I have the documents to show has done this wicked work, &c." The facts are these. 1. 1 am Mate J-.vangelist and in keeping with my rights and dulies I warned the officers of churches against K. H. linger. I affirmed that he was an immoral man and unworthy of the conhdence of christian people. 2. The Stillwater elders foolishly disregarded my warning, and when ottered to prove to them that I had spoken truthfully, they refused to hear me and said they had serious charges to prcter against me. 3. I met the officers and after they had in writing specified their charges (as they called them) I asked who was to form the tribunal that was to try me. I was informed that the elders, who were both witnesses and accusers, claimed the right to be my judges also, l he claim was so very absurd that I could scarcely believe my ears. 4, I ottered to submit the case to a board of arbitrators composed of three christian gentlemen. For some time the Stillwater officers refused to do this ; afcer a season, however, they agreed to submit their charges to a board of arbitrators provided I would choose my man from Columbia coun ty churches. This I refused to do and to prevent any further delay I chose Allen B. Philputt of Philadel phia, as my arbitrator, and I said tint I would meet them when the board was completed in its organization. 5. The officers of Stillwater then declared that they would meet July 9, 1 89 1, and try me and publish me. I placed my protest against any such action and left them. Before the time named I sent in my written protest to their acting as accusers, witnesses and judges, denying their jurisdiction over me, and again I offered to meet a board of arbitrators and named my man. Since that time I have never received a line from Stillwater officers. No Mr. Singer says "he has docu ments" and he has written to parties that Stillwater officers convicted me &c. I class these things among Mr.Singer's misrepresentations. I do not believe the elders and deacons of Stillwater would do such a mad and unjust thing as iney saia tney would, 1. e. act as judges in a case where they were both accusers and witnesses ; nor will I be lieve so unreasonable a thing until said officers say so over their own names. Now a word as to my "wicked work" as Mr. Singer calls it. If the earnest effort to expose an impostor is a "wicked work" I plead guilty. I have never taken back one word I have said about R. H. Singer. As long as I possess the information I now have, and as long as I hold my present office I will try to rid the min istry of and protect respectable women from the insults of such men, and I believe all fair minded people will give me their approval. In the trial of Singer Aug. 6. 'oi. before the elders of Zion Church a most partial and unjust and false deci sion was rendered, for said elders de clared Singer not guilty. The elders of Zion Church will now have a chance to defend their action, as se rious charges have been preferred against them. There is not a deacon in that church that approves of the action of the elders. So the end is not yet. The church or officer that endorses R. H. Singer in face of the evidence brought against him makes a mistake. With thanks for your favors, gentle men, I remain respectfully vours in the defence of the virtue and purity of the home circle. A.
