Lecture.

The Rev. w. C. Black, of Natcbez.
Miss, will deliver his celebrated lecture
"Glimpses of Glory" in the Methodist
Church at Opelousas, on "Wednesday,
the 10th, at 8 p. M, seats free, and the
public cordially invited to attend. Rev.
Mr.. Black was here two years ago, and
by his matchless eloquenee, profound
logic, and christian department won all
hearts. 1t rarely falls to the lot of our
people to hear the distinguished speak
ers Of the age, and we feel sure in as
sertlng that the reading and thinking
people OF our community will not fail
to hear Mr.. Black.
The Natchez Democrat has this to say
of Mr.. Blacks lecture:
''Tlie lecture of Rev. w. C. Black, ON
Tuesday evening last, was an intellect
ual treat to the large audience which
listened to it. Whilst the subject was
q scientific one and the lecture treated
in scientific manner, the address was
eminently popular one. Any one who
can look up at the starry skies, and
whose mind can comprehend the idea
OF space, could have easily understood
every portion of the lecture The rela.
tons of all parts of the heavenly crea-
ton TO each other were closely, but most
,eloquently described, and there were
few in the audience, even of those who
were familiar with his subject--astron-
'omy who did not realize that the lee
turer had indeed given them sGlimpses
of Glory which are too rarely contem-
plated. As popular scientific lecture
alone, Mr. Blacks discourse is worthy
of repetition in every community in the
State.'' :.
