Mr.. A. w. Hawks delivered lecturette
last eyening-subject, Voices" A lectur-
cite. as the lecturetteur explained, differs
from a lecture by the addition of two is and
ane. Mr.. Hawks was fanciful or pathetic
Extraordinarily funny, but always
engaging, in the treatment of his fruitful
theme. Some of the Voices" were musical
with laughter and some were chOked with
tears they suggested many scenes from the
humorous side of life, and gave occasion for
diverting anecdotes, and drew successive
flashes from the speakers storage battery
or they revived tender memories of the days
that are not, or invited attention to serious
and practical thoughts. The audience was
most pleasantly entertained. The lecture
was given for the purpose of procuring
funds to aid in the purchase of new organ
for the Presbyterian Church.
