One select ed from many excellent press notices is the following from the Jacksonville Daily Courier The Congregational church was , crowded to it's utmost capacity with a highly fashionable and intelligent audience last night, who gathered to listen to lec- ture on Social Purity" by Dr.Kate Bush nell. She is highly cultivated woman. with depth and range of thought that inn pressed her hearers in a very favorable manner. Her talk clearly demonstrated the fact that she had made thorough study of the subject in hand. Miss Frances B Willard says Dr.. Kate Bushnell, national evangelist to department of social purity, has made two addresses in our town, to which have had the pleasure of listening They were SO unique and we'll considered, they breathed out her great, sisterly heart, and reflected so truly her careful, deep and wide-searehing thought, that think she is to become mighty power for the sacred cause of social purity. There is no cant. no affectation, nothing hackneyed or ster- eotyped about her mode of thought or of expression. She is fresh, vivid, instructive and in earnest. Real, every day Christian ity is her theme. She draws illustrations from Oriental life, having been for years a medical missionary in China, and from her wide research along the special line to which she has felt herself called.
