the Lecture.
From Fridays Daily.
Rev. Frank Crane of Omaha in
troduced his lecture on "How
to Be a Man," with the remark
that a part of it was for women
as we'll. He told a story of an old maid
newspaper correspondent who one time
heard the lecture who said she wished
he had something in it about women.
He replied by asking if the men did
not embrace the women and she re-
piled no; and as he looked at her he
guessed that she was right. His lecture
the night before was on being a baby;
yesterday he talked about how to be a
man. He said it was not the height
nor the dimensions that made the man,
o was it beauty. Beautiful men are
too often bald headed inside. Nature
can not afford to give a man brains
and make him pretty at the same time.
You can't always tell what sort of an
article YOU have from outside appear
ance. Byron was a club-foot, Pope was
a dwarf and was not pretty, Alexander
was not handsome, Alexander Stephens
had not a very great stature and was
all paralyzed except his head, yet when
he spoke all would stand aside to listen.
In speaking of the manly art of self de-
Tense he said it would more appropri-
ately be called the canine art of de-
Tense. The lecturer then described a
number of animals which have traits
which the human ace sometimes COPY.
1t is i'll mans power to sink to the level
of the beasts or to rise in the scale
until they reach God, who doesn't hit
back as does the animals. The most
Infamous, disappearing infidel in the
Black Hills may address God and be
treated as we'll as any other human
being. In perfection of human char.
acter there is no sex and in.the makeup
of a perfect manhood there arc three
elements: Bravery, gentleness and ODE
dience. We all admire "a strong man;
we like Il man with physical force.
Many think We have no chance in these
times to exhibit bravery; there is no
chance to try our mettle. This is not
true. There are as many opportuni-
ties to exhibit true bravery today as
there ever "a There is a great lack
of men and women who are not afraid
to do right, who are ashamed of moth
ing but sin. We want men and women
who dare to stand out against the sins
of society, who are not afraid of public
opinion. The next element of great
ness is g%entleness. Whenever you find
a brave man without ge~ntleness you
find a barbarian. Whenever you find
a man who is gentle and not brave o
see Il milksop. But when you find a
man who is both gentle and brave you
have the finished product of all the civil
lization of the human race. Civilization
is the womanizing of humanity. We
expect to see great men gentle and so
they r Obedience is the last attri-
butte of greatness. The men who are
great always serve. No III ever did a
great thing except under the orders of
some III else. Washington was a SER
want and after the surrender of Corn
wallis at Yorktown turned in his en-
pense account to congress and returned
to his home. Lincoln was a servant
and Grant too. God made Abraham
the father of the faithful because he
obeyed; because he proceeded to offer
his only son Isaac as a sacrafice at
Gods command. Marathon and Their
mopylae are great battles because they
are great examples of obedience. Men
are going to scale the heights of this
world not by independence, but by
finding someone to obey. The lecturer
then told the story of st. Christopher
who served the strongest. who served
mayor, king. emperor, devil and finally
Christ. the strongest: Christ the most
powerful one. The lecture led to this
point. Bravery. gentleness and ODE.
dience were to be used in the service of
the strongest, the Christ.
The lecture of Rev. Byron Beall last
night on Secret Sins" was not largely
attended. on which account the lecture
in full was not given. A synopsis was
indicated and the main points dwelled
upon to some extent.
