Last Sunday evening large audience
gathered at the Baptist church, to hear DIR.
Buffers lecture on Sunshine" For one
hour the DIR. held the close attention of his
hearers, while he presented his lecture, full
of sunshine in pleasing and impressive man
ner. We trust the sunshine impaired by the
DIR to others in these entertaining lectures
may reflect largely upon his own pathway
through life. At the close of the lecture
DR.. Butler invited his friends to make him a
social call next Thursday evening. Several
times the past winter his friends have called
and presented him with articles both useful
and ornamental. This time it is his special
request that they come empty -handcd.-There
