 REV. DIR. PICKS LECTURE. Chinese Gordon, EngIand's Latest Hero-An Eloquent Tribute to One of the Worlds Great Generals.
 The third in the course of lectures at Trinity M. E. church was delivered last eve- ming by Rev. Dr. J. o. Peck, his subject be- ing "Chinese Gordon, England's Latest Hero" Notwithstanding the prevailing storm there large and intelligent audi ence present, who listened with deep inter est to the eloquent preacher and lecturer The following brief abstract of the lecture will give some idea of the subject and the way it was treated, although many interest ing facts in regard to the great general are necessarily omitted for want of space. In his introduction the lecturer said:
 The character of General Gordon is the most unique romantic, legendary and kalei- doscopic in modern history. His career needs but some great Homer to touch it with poetic fire to make it read like the epic of one of the heroes of the Iliad. In fact his life seems phenomenal in this prosaic age and it's simple story reads more like the love of ancient legends than like the history of a contemporary. He reminds at times and turns of Richard of the lion heart, of Thomas a Kempis, of Cromwell, of Livingston, of Havelock, of John Howard, of Stonewall Jackson, of General Grant, as he turns toward us the varied phases of his character soldier, saint, philanthropist and indomi- table hero. And yet his magnificent indi- viduality shall forever stand out in isolated sublimity, simplicity and serenity If he always touched the poor and oppressed with a glove of velvet. The chivalry of his nature glowed in the unclouaed radiance of his fervid piety. While tempests beat and roared around him, he stood unmoved and serene as Mt. Washington in storms, sus- tained and led on by absolute trust in God.
