DR.. GlLmAN'S SECOND LECTURE.
The Progress of Empire Handled in Mas
terly Style.

THE Progress of Empire" was the
theme Of President Gilm8n's interesting
address last evening in the Thomas Memo
rial Hall of Richmond College. The
speaker began by saying that he would not at
tempt a full discussion OF ancient history, but II
was evident he was In command OF its lore, and
I'm beautiful language be skc;ched the rise and
fan OF the great dynasiies which had
lived, fourished. and passed away along
the shores OF the Mediterranean Sea-.
For 900 years there have been two racesfacing
each other on this great basin and along these
waters. The Aryan, or lndO-Germanic, or lndo-
European is the great family to which we belong.
The origin Of this race Is In doubt stin after the
most profound study.
Face 10 face with these stand the Hcrmetic
races. who most probably come from the region
Of the Euphrntes.
Tho peculiarities Of home and personal traits,
the development Of race tendencies, Their
growth IN intelligence, in science, and art were
clearly traced. The migration OF these peoples
was doubtless due, he said, 10 art tendencies and
n desire 10 possess themselves OF the best ele-
ments for the display OF taste and power
THE ISLAND or SICILY.
The speakers treatment Of the Island OF
Sicily was exceedingly attractive. Many great
wnrs turned upon the possession Of this princ-
pal jewel OF the Mediterranean. The fhGn-
clans and CarihageniaDs here struggled with
the great nations Of the north,
The great idess which prompted these con-
tests were, with the Phpneciens and Carthage
Mans trade with the desire for supremacy. That
of Greece was intellectual progress and unrest,
Of Rome government Into these great strug-
giles came from a small centre the Chrh1rah
Church, modifying and controlling all. The
speaker closed by giving thrilling pictures OF I'LL
brnltar and the AcrOpolis.
The lecture was profound discussion greatly
enjoyed by the intellectual audience present.
The third and closing lecture viii be tonight,
and those who wish an evening Of real improve
ment should be present.
