Crusaders hall was filed to overflow
ing last Sunday afternoon with an intel
ligent audience who had gathered to
listen to John D. O'Brien's address on
the Irish patriot, John Mitchell, whom
he compared with Wendell Phillips. In
many respects they we're alike; in many,
different. Both championed hnmanity's
rights; they differed radically as to detail
an the same question. Neither seemed
to have power to stop in the course
which seemed to have been marked out
for him. Both were unconscious OF the
important part they were playing. Nit
chell's lite was SIX tched. His writings
were recommended for study by those
who would perfect themselves in a good
style OF English. It was an interesting
address and Mr.. O'Brien received the
enthusiastic plaudits of his auditors.
