Then followed exercises in which the guests were invited to join, and for which no special course of study was required. We refer to the refreshments. After all had been served, several toasts were announced and responded to in an able and happy manner.
THE TOASTS.
“The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle.” Response by B. S. Dartt, our first president. “Our Memorial Authors” (Shakspere, Longfellow, Milton, Addison and Bryant)—Rev. Alexander McGowan. “The Chautauqua Work and its Workers Elsewhere”—Rev. A. S. Morrison. “Higher Culture, Viewed from the Social Standpoint”—George A. Guernsey.
Rev. S. P. Gates then spoke on the harmony of science and religion, asserting that there is no gulf that separates religion and science, nor any conflict where they stand together.
The chairman then announced that the balance of the evening would be given to social enjoyment, soon after which the members and guests dispersed.
“The lights are fled,
The garlands dead,
The banquet hall deserted.”
