REV. j. N. DENIsON,S LECTURE.
An Interesting Talk Promised for This
Evening.

Arrangements were completed this after
noon for the free lecture to be given to-
night at the Methodist church by Rev. j.
N. Denison, Of Portland, under the
auspices ofthe Young Mems Christian As
syclation Of Olympia. Just what he will
talk about has not yet been announced. 1t
Is safe to assume, however, that it will be
something both interesting and instruct
I've. Mr.. Denison always holds the atten-
ton OF his hearers. He made a short talk
at the gospel meeting held in Tacoma hall
Saturday night by the Young Mems
Christian Association. Sunday morning
he preached in the Methodist church
Those who have heard Mr. Denison lecture
are unstinted in their praises and will be
preent rain or no rain. He has peculiar
way OF speaking that renders every point
remarkably clear, distinct and forceful.
Once after delivering sermon to a con-
gregation in rural church, one Of the sis
ters approached him and said
BRO. Denison, liked your talk very
mqch; come and preach to us sometime. y
1t Is the absence of high-fown language
and unintelligible reasoning that makes
his sermons seem so much like talks.
Those who attend tonight will hear some
things that they will long remember. The
meeting will begin at 700 O'Clock.
There will be business meeting of the
association tomorrow night to arrange for
the winters work. A number of new
members will be admitted and plans will
Pc discussed for securing a gymnasium,
bath rooms, etc. The ladies' auxiliary
Will hold regular monthly meeting Fri
DAY afternoon at the Association rooms.
Ladies interested in helping the associa-
ton are invited to be present and become
members of the auxilliary.

Alter the nomination Springer said:
