MILLER's LECTURE.
About three hundred persons assen
bled last evening in the Institute
listen to Rev. John De Witt Miller.
The intelligence OF the audience d
manded a much better talk" tn,
they listened to last evening. II
subject was fruitful one, and o,
upon which lecturer could east
have made an interesting lecture, al
one that could have been in the natu
OF the object of the Institute. The &c
tleman advanced n number of we
good ideas, but one was so famili
with them that they seemed like o
friends.
Another singular incident of {
evening was tIat the gentleman W
personally present when all the ant
dotes which he related took place. V
are much disappointed in the gent
nsB, and must confess that we are DC
judges of age we thought him quite
young man. The speakers knowled
OF who the crowned heads Of Euro
married was slightly off
A striking evidence of bad Taste "
the reference to Catholicism and
land, when number of the audter
were OF that faith and nativity or
scent 1t shows preacher of We
narrow mind who cannot leave
chnrch hehind him when he appei
upon public platform.
This was only one Of the many
stances OF bad taste. His reference
political subjects had no place In !
evenings talk.
This evening those who will be for
nate enough 10 be on hand will be-
warded by listening TO the famous r
Dr. j. h. Vincent. DIR. Vincent ID

noted for his connection with the Uh
