Lecture.

ture course of the present season un-
der the management of Rev. c. A.
Britt, ended with Col. George w.
Bain's lecture-''Among the Masses,
or Traits of Human Character Col.
Bain's effort was a ftuug close to a
course that has been emlnently sue
cessful both financially and otherwise,
and he fully sustained his splendid
reputation as one of the foremost
platform speakers of the country.
The lecture from beginning to end was
deeply interesting and instructive,
full of sound sense spiced with humor
and highly appreciated by the large
audience. Everyone who heard the
lecture was delighted, for rarely is
there heard anything more beautiful
and sublime than the descriptive
sentences which abounded throughout.
As to Col. Balm himself, he is every
inch true man and one of intense
convictions. His views are always
pronounced, and into all that he says
he puts all the fire OF his ardent ma
ture, making his words glow with tell
ing effect. He is d man of action,
too. as well as of words. His life is
given to the rescue of men, and in all
that he does a noble purpose shines,
as was indicated by the moral trend of
his lecture of Monday evening. The
intent of that lecture was to make
those who heard it patient of the
foibles of their fellows and considerate
of their prejudices; careful of their
own influence, conscious and uncon-
scious, upon others, and watchful of
the influence of others upon them
selves 1t was meant as an aid to hap
piness, as sweetener of disposition,
as a strengthened and refiner of char
acter, and as help and uplift in life.
1t is good to meet such men as Col.
Balm, and, as has been said by another,
sit is not often IN lifetime that
people haye an opportunity of hearing
a man SO wonderfully gifted" AS
with Col. Copeland, so with Col. Balm,
Frostburg will always be glad to hear
him.
Quay Roselle's entertainment last
evening in the Main Street Baptist
Church was highly appreciated and
enjoyed by his large and select
audience. He is certainly good
elocutionist and actor. 1t is hoped he
will visit Frostburg again.
