In th e devotional exercises, R qv ; H. 0 , Foster, pastor o f the presby- terian church, Clifton' read the scrip turep, and Dr. W. E, Putt, pastor of the Cedarville Methodist chUrCb led' m prayer. After the devotions, *Prof. G. F. Siegter snug iii‘ his usual pleasing riiniiner a beautiful solo. Tills Was encored so vigorously th a t he re­ sponded with a solo, which was like- wise.warmly encored. Then came the address of the day by Rev. M. J . Taylor, pastor of the Cedarville Reformed Presbyterian church, on Immigration. This was one of the most scholarly and inspir­ ing addresses ever gived in the chapel, showing he need of our cit­ izens to awaken to the cc litions confronting and imperilling us thru Immigration. This was followed with a song by a male quartette consisting of Prof. Slegler, Dwight Sterretfc, Cameron Ross, and Roscoe McCorkell. I t was so well rendered and roundly applauded tha t the quartette gave another song equally pleasing to the audience. Rf*v.

As ho arose to speak, ho was given the Chautauqou salute by the audience and this was followed with several yells by the students. To these Mr. Garbold responded in a Japanese salutation, the first words he had spoken In the chapel since his first visit from Japan seven years ago. Then he followed with an address, which provoked tears and laughter betimes, a most a Br­ ing appeal for workers to go to tho foreign field.
