DOVER. Del, Jan. 2.-If the lecture |
delivered at Dover Opera House last |
evening by Peter Mannreof-Von Finkel- |
stein is a criterion of what Is to follow, |
Superintendent Irving Handy has Ger.
tainly prepared a rich feast for the |
teachers OF his county. The title |
Of Won Finkelstein's subject CITY Life
in Jerusalem" sounded rather dry, and
| the result was that the hall was not over
two-thirds filed, and the audience was
almost entirely composed of teachers.
But the few of Dovers citizens who did
go to hear the lecture found that this
Oriental lecturer was rev elation. His
style of illustration, from beginning
to end was novel and interesting.
By quoting the peculiar sayings and do
ings Of the citizens Of Jerusalem, the
lecturer made each corroborate some por-
tion OF Holy Writ. He described the
oriental school, the marriage ceremonies.
the courtship, and in fact, all thelpromi-
nent points In Oriental life.
Won Fiukelstein may be set down as a
success, and Superintendent Handy as a
man of very excellent taste.
