theatrical or dramatic entertainment was given last week in new building in oden O den city which did not meet the approval of the critic I 1 of our the oden ogden junction function who under the heading beading a burlesque r singer waltzes the performers mers and in musicians ans through in the IbI lui lowing following style wo we could make only a passing allusion in our last issue to the performance in jennings new now building on friday evening ing it was of a kind rather novel to the citizens of ogden our unsophisticated citizens have been accustomed to seeing ladies either on oroff the stage clothed in at least a moderate amount of drapery the lady who appeared before the audience on friday evening no doubt possesses ability in her line iffie but her aresi dresa or rather undress took the audience by surprise the music was out of tune and time and we were wondering what was the matter till we discovered rediscovered thattie that the musicians were so struck with that they could neither draw tiie ilia bow or blow a nast mast with their accustomed skill their failure had a considerable effect on the singing and dancing which would doubtless have been well executed with good orchestral accompaniment pani ment As it was the amusement was not very amusing we should not bo be surprised if after a blast like that tho the junction is reproached by some of the parties for whom 10 it doubtless well deserved strictures were intended with ruining their prospects we have known such things in our experience here yort FORT porterville ERVILLE Brot brother fier lier wm

MONDAYS MONDAY 3 DAILY TAnER tabernacle NACLE yesterday tho the meetings mee tings tinga at tho the tabernacle were of a more than usually varied character in the tho morning the tho congregation was addressed by the rev emerson andrews a baptist minister who has travelled extensively in the holy land ile he took for his test text the passage from the writings of paul the gospel gos p e is the power of god unto salvation to all them that believe f first to the jew then to the greek his discourse was an exposition of the effects of the practical operation of that gospel on the human heart and an earnest exhortation to all to believe and trust in the redeemer and the atonement lie he has effected at the close of the remarks of mr andrews air levi M a member of the dunkard persuasion persua tion late of monmouth ills and fori fort formerly herly from pennsylvania spoke for a few moments upon the uselessness of force being used to induce people to forsake their religion he said there was wall a great question at issue between the people of utah and the people east if the tho iatter latter wished to change the views and sentiments of tho the people here iiley they must employ the sword of the tho spirit or they never could succeed the services of the morning were closed by president young who in a few words showed that while belief in the lord jesus Jesu 8 Chrls chris tso strongly dwelt upon I 1 liy py the religious religions sects of the day was absolutely necessary it alone was not sufficient the lord jesus has said if yo love me keep my commandments and also unless a 3 man be born of the water ho he cannot see the kingdom of god and unless he be born of the water and the tho spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of god 11 these The were tho words of the savior and no matter how strongly the religionists of the day might believe in christ they must also obey all the ordinances of his gospel er they could ilot not obtain salvation in tho kingdom of god he also dwelt in a very forcible a ud interesting manner upon other points of difference between tho the belief of the latter day saints and the sects of the day ex the necessity for administering the ordinance of baptism for the dead and the work that would have to be done during the millennium for the millions who have died without having had a chance to obey the gospel his remarks were reported and they hey will probably elze elte be printed r i anted shortly in the afternoon elder eider r orson pratt bore a short but forcible testimony to the truth of modern revelation from god through joseph smith and to the reality of the work in which the latter day saints are engaged the the famous blind episcopal minister delivered a short and eloquent address on the nobility of labor in which he dwelt upon the responsibility to god which all are under to honorably honestly and faithfully discharge the duties devolving upon them in the varl vari various ous positions to which providence has assigned them no matter how humble and the certainty of penalty following every violation and transgression of gods law president georgoa george A smith was the next s he took for his text that clause of the decalogue which says thou not bear false witness against thy neighbor the application he made was that many clergymen and laymen who have visited this city and territory and have been treated with hospitality and the greatest liberality have then gone and borne a testimony directly to the contrary among the most noticeable of this class were dr todd of pittsfield mass and some baptise preachers who occupied the tabernacle stand last summer his remarks were also reported and will probably appear in due time mr again asked I 1 permission to speak for a feW few moments and occupied the time timo in exhorting outsiders or as he called them gentiles and others to tell the truth about the people of utah and when they go from here to talk about the good the they thoy h haye hayo ve done and are doing and not to co confine afine themselves altogether to the idle stories and evil rumors that they pick up at the street corners president young closed in a short address on the same subject his remarks being reported in full lull tue THE JAPANESE troupe the members of this talented troupe of acrobats and jugglers will make their first appearance at the theatre tonight to night
