Rev. Henry r. Coleman, D. d., OF
Louisville. KY, preached in the Wal
halla Methodist church last Sunday
morning at eleven o'clock to large con-
oregation. At night he lectured in the
Presbyterian church on the Holy Land.
On Saturday night Le delivered Masonic
lecture to a large gathering of the Craft
in the Temple. All who had the privi-
lege of hearing DR.. Coleman on these
occasions. or any of them, were highly
entertained, instructed and edited. He
has frequently visited ancient Palestine
and made a close study of the country.
Being a careful and intelligent observer
he learned much and possesses the ability
of telling to others in forcible narrative
the things he saw. One never tires OF
listening to his instructive lectures OF
two or even three hours in length. Every
sentence conveys an important idea. and
the chain of his descriptive discourse is
easily followed.
There was once an awful little girl who
hid an awful to every thing. She had
an awful house in an awful village,
which was an awful distance from every
other awful place She went to an awful
school where she had an awful teacher,
who gave her awful lessons out of awful
books. Every day she was so awful
hungry that she ate an awful amount OF
food, so that she looked awful healthy.
Her hat was awful small and her feet
were awful large When she took an
awful walk she climed awful hills, and
when she got awful tired she sat dowa
under an awful tree to rest herself. In
summer she was awful hot and in winter
awful cold. When it did not rain there
was an awful drought, AID when the
awful drought was over there was an
awful rain. If this little girl does not
get rid of this vulgar way of saying
awful" about everything, | am afraid
she will come to an awful end.
