The Court House was filled al an early
hour lall evening by a fine audience Of
ladies and gentlemen, 10 hear The lecture
by the Rev. A. o. Brakeman on 1.-THE
difference between man and animals,
from New Church standpoint Before
twas commenced every seat was taken,
about forty or fifty people were standing,
and perhaps not lesS than hundred were
unable 10 get standing room in the rear
Of the house and were turned away.
II would be impossible, without giving
the lecturers own words, to present even
4 general idea Of the arguments he ad.
yanced TO show wherein man ia different
from animals, and in which he coniru'
yerled the position taken by Huxley,
Darwin and Tyndal. This we have not
the space 10 do. We can only say that
the lecture was logical and excellently
delivered, that II contained wealth Of
new ideas, and that the interest Of the
audience was kept up until the close.
On the street We heard many who were
at the lecture discuss its various points,
and &c seemed to, create an interest that
will certainly result in many seeking to
extend their Information on the subject.
Tonight ut the Court House Mr.. Brick.
man will lecture on "The Life after
Death; the Realities and Activities Of
Man as n Spirit in the performance Of
uses in the Spiritual World; also the
ObjeclA and Scenery tlIere.p
Mr.. BriCkman informs us that he will
treat the subject in practical language,
and 30 that all can understand. He pro-
poses 10 explain the fundamental princi.
ples Of difference between matter and
spirit. This Is subject that Is but little
discoursed upon by orthodox clergymeD,
and As Mr.. BrickmAn proposes TO make
definite and clear statements about the
New Church doctrine Of the next world;
its appearance and what we will do and
what our friends are doing there, we
have no doubt but that he will have
many interested hearers.
