Lecture at FLETCHER HAN i.ass Even

Lecture at Fletcher Hail East Even-
ing by the ksey. Jacob Fry.
The Rev. Jacob Fry, ID. D., pastor Of
Trinity Lutheran Church at Reading, Pa,
Thursday delivered the first of winter
course OF lectures arranged for the ,bene-
at of st. Stephens Lutheran Church OF
this city. His subject was Wanted
Man," and Fletcher Hall was well filled
to hear him, among his hearers being
some of the clergymen OF this city. DR..
Fry IL q fluent speaker, possessing a
readiness and force which we'll accounts
for his long-austained popularity in the
city of his residence. In opening his
lecture last evening he began with an
enumeration OF four classes Of masculine
creatures who take up large portion OF
the space that should be occupied by
men. The first named was the merely
animal men, the british men, sensuous
abroad, tyrannical at home. The second
class was characterized az the puerile
men, simply big boys, and the speaker
instanced Samson Of the Bible "a o
character whom he often considered as o
big boy. The third was the selfish men,
the angular people, developed in only
one direction, men perhaps thoroughly
honest but entirely devoid of mercy; and
the fourth was the effeminato, the female
man, the most unmanly OF the lot.
In endeavoring to show what qualities
must enter into the make Of real man,
the lecturer first designated the
spiritual nature. The animal nature
must be kept steadily under the control
and direction Of the predominating spir-
itual nature. The second quality must be
completeness. The real man must have
character well-rounded and normally
developed, He may have great genius
but he may not be crank. As examples
he pointed to Washington and Franklin,
ailuding incidentally to the fact that the
letter's birthday was being celebrated
upon this day. In tho third place the
real man must have decision Of character.
He cannot be one OF the II really don't
know, "tcan't say" undecided, ineffective
beings who stand in the way OF progress
and clog development. And then the real
man must have courage, not only TO stand
by his decision when made. but also that
higher courage to change bis convictions
when he finds he has made O mistake
The speaker pointed to Martin Luther al
the example Of this courage.
The three necessary factors in the de-
velopment of real, full and complete
manhood the lecturer cited as education
lin the home, the school and among thu
associates, matrimony, and Christianity
and as tho great example for emulation il
the effort 20 develop into real manhood
the speaker pointed, not to Washington
nor Franklin, nor 10 Luther, but to Hin
who Appeared before PLATE wearing th,
crown Of thorns, and said, behold tn

naturally great objection to their re-
appointment. The two leading candi.
dptes in opposition to them are ex-Chief
Dousherty ard Peter A. Horty, besides q
number of others who are not likely to
figure very extensively In the fight.
Doueherty was promised On appointment
in return for his services in Hickman Is
