friends honor him, and enemies are
compelled to respect him.
Our lectures here have been so largely
attended and so well received that we
have promised to return on Monday,
the l4th, on our way to Ashland, and
give a fourth address; subject, "The
Temperance Reform"
Tomorrow Sunday We are to lecture
at Manzanita, in a free church in the
center of a large farming settlement,
and in the vicinity of some of the pret-
tiest and most prosperous homes on the
Pacific slope.
On Tuesday, the 18th, our iabors be-
gin at Ashland, after which we will
give two more lectures in Jacksonville
before turning our longing footsteps
homeward.
