"Our Whole Duty"
Synopsis Of Rev. w. o. Lynch's Lee
ture at the Nj. f.. Church Monday
Night. Sept. 2S.

Prepared for the The Gazette by Rev. A. W. Ne
Kinney, 4
In substance. the eleturer said: -
did not find this lecture in b ,oks but
in the real battle of life.
Our first duty is to ourselves. In
this age of the world there is no ex
cuse tor man being ignorant and
none for poverty. A man is dis
tinguished from the lower animals by
his ability to think. A man is
thinker, hence he should think.
>hould think of himself what he is,
what he was created for, and what
he is capable Of doing and achiev-
ing. Every man, first Of all, should
be educated. He should know
something. Ii a man walks up
the street and falls down, he Is
ashamed of himself aud will look
around to see who saw him fall. So
1T should be shame for man to
fall intellectual wheh he is capable
OF standing and walking.
IL a man be head of /. family and
the father of children his responsi
bility in this respect j. increased The
more 1t is the delight, the chief
