Mrs. Palmer, yesterday afternoon gave
a sacred recital, enjoyed by forty or
fifty friends, at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. fanner, in tne train diock.
Prof. Palmer gave a comprehensive
paper on the history of the oratorio,

in tne 13th and 14th centuries in the
miracle plays, the oratorio itself de

not in Italy but in Germany did it reach
its perfection.
there are only ihirty-eignt stanaara

composition requiring two years' time;
KUiah, which toon Menaeissonn 4 years

Messiah, and St. Paul are tne oest.
Prof. Palmer sang, with mucn reeling,
selections from Messiah, a story of
Christ, prophecy, sufferings, and ressur

its theme: and Elijah, which Prof. Pal
mer considers the greatest of all of
them.
During a resting spell Mrs. Palmer
was heard in a pretty Beethoven sonata,
splendidly presented.
Prof. Palmer received many compli
ments for the excellent program, an

Sale o Pictorial Review Patterns
Started Yesterday.
To say the least it was a surorise. in
tact a revelation to Chambers & Mc
Cune, they never dreamed of anv one
thing being so popular and of such great
.lemand or they would have been seHing
notorial Keview patterns long ago.,
It was the greatest success of any
department ever added to the store.
lhree girls were busy all day selling
patterns. There is a free chart of in
structions with every pattern a face
appreciated by the women and one
Chambers & UcCune knew nothing
about.
Women that have used Pic'.oral Re
view patterns told of their many ad
vantages over other patterns, most
especially the tact that they are true to
measure.
Disturbed Again.
Editor Democrat:
That man back east, mentioned in tho
Democrat, would not have done the
deed he did if our divines would preach
God's word instead of platonism, a
relic of heathenism, that the church is
eo loath to get rid of. The Bible
teaches the dead know nothing until the
resurrection morning, Ps. 14ti:4. besides
God's word in no place says werhall go
io neaven at aeatn, or at any otner
time. To teach that the soul of man is
immortal, and knows more in death
than while living in this life is enough
to make the devil and his imps laugh
and dance with glee. One' would think
our would be teachers could see the
point and teach God's word.
