Pttt “WALK YE IN IT.” Dean Gardner Polnts Out the Way and shows Some Dangers that Encompass It Dean Garaner talked to the men at the 4 o'clock meeting at the Young Men's Christian association hall yestorday after- noon. One of the interesting features was the orchestral protude, and the singing by the Trinity cathedral quartet. The attenganc was very good, the large hall being more than half filled. The dean's address was in the nature of a warning to the men of the many pitfalls that line the spathway of this life, and that trust in sclf is always sure to resuit in wrong doing. The scriptural quotation, “This is the way, walk ye in it," is true in every sense, and its meaning that the pathway of the Almighty is the one' to be followed, neither turning to the right nor the left. He thought that what wus needed was more an active sincere Christianity, and » strict compliance with the ten commandments, He knew that apologies were continually being made for sins committed. The trouble was that this is an age of speculation and new things and there is a desiro to get over the traces. For this reason mwany professed Christians insisted upon a slight violation of the commandments. For instance the lover of cards would play fora small stake, and apologize for the sin by saying that 1t was done only as a pastime and for the excito- ment, and not for the purpose of gain. The person who drinks found an_apology by pos- sessing some ailment of the body that re- quires stimulants, and yet the word is that 4 drunlcard shall no. inherit the kingdom of heaven. The speculator of today is doing that which is stealing, and the apology is progression. The worst of al is the apology for sensuality among young Wmen. In this | case the young man's father or some other person does the apologizing, aud says the wild onts must be sown. L'o avoid the violations of the command- ments a guide is ueeded for each and every one, and the word of God is the one that will prevent a person being lost, and the tread- ing of the narrow path will lead the way to cternal life and happiness. e ONE MAN FINISHED.

I remember with pleasure that the first institution 1 was ever president of was the Indianapolis Young Men's Christian association. I have always ctained my interest in the Young Men's Christian association and admire its work and am glad to have been associated with it in 1ts beginning. The associations are bring- ing religion into business, and business into religion. They are teaching young men day by day to live'a Christian life. T do not be- lieve a Christian_profession is to be worn as a cockade, nor is 1t to be hidden away in a cellar—it is to come into the first floor rooms and to be lived out in daily life.” In introdacing Mr. Wanamaker President Bierse referred to the fact that he had not only been president of the Philadelphia as- sociation, but had given to it most muni cently in its time of need. Mr. Wanamaker smd: “I always feel rich when I think [ own a founder's shave in tho Young Men's Christian associations, and 1 am ricn in tne friendship of the older asso- ciation men.

The Calhoun Opera company, which made its debut in Omaha last evening, is quite strong musically, much stronger than most companies presenting comic opera at “‘popu- l‘\r"Jvrl . Every member of it is a vocal- ist of merit, and Mr. Bache, the tenor; Mi Millard, the prima donna soprano, and Miss Carrie Godfrey are artists on the level of the principals of companies styled “loading.' The chorus is an admirable one, the parts well balanced, the voices strong, fresh and clear, The ladies, by the way, are prepos- sessing of countenance and shapely of limb, The orchestra fills its part adequately 1 wielding the baton is the admirable Ca Mertens himself.

Miss Amy Leslie, announced on the program to sing Alti, was provented from appearing last evening through sickness and Miss Car- rie Godfrey, who “‘created” the part, tool her place, captivaving the audience by her rendition and evoking a hearty recall for her principal solo. Mr. Martin Bache displays a fine tenor organ in the part of Terrano, his rendering of “T'wo Eyes of Brown' being al- most flawless. Mr. Henry Leonn's baritone is very effective. shining in one of the notable numbers of the score, My Love is Like o Lily Fair.” Mr. Thompson in the title part earns high praise. "Che comedy clemont of the opera 1s very capably sustained by Messrs. Flint and Calhoun, M.

An elongated specimen of the genus militaire, known to his immediate friends as General David Foutz McElvain, did the convoluting for the Infantry boys, and so well did he do it that he would have won the game had he been supported a little bit. As it was he struck out four men and was touched safely but for five hits, one of which was a lucky homer, The bright particular star of the after- noon’s performance was tho second base play of Sum McAuliffe.
