The Lecture Course.
1t is hoped that the gentlemen composing
the Ministerial association of Columbia will
be successful in their efforts to provide q
course of lectures to be given at the opera
house during the coming winter. The opera
house is public building belonging TO the
borough, but still there are large class of the
people who never enter its doors for the
reason that they do not patronize the class of
entertainments that always occupy the build
ing. Some years ago lecture or so was
given in the opera house, but it proved a
dismal failure. IT the matter is properly ar
ranged the course OF lectures can be made a
success.
