gave two very interesting lectures
at the NJ. Il church OH Thursday and
Friday evenings lust week, each
lecture being illustrated by
numerous fine stereopticon
views. The subject for the first
. - +. ~ y i n
lecture was China and he gave a
very vivid description OF some Of the
principle cities, md other objects Of
interests in the Flowery Kingdom,
and Of the customs aud habits Of the
people. The manner OF preparing
tea for market was illustrated and
described, and some have since add
ed ten to the list OF articles they
swore off using on New Years Day.
The military weakness OF China was
explained, and it is no wonder she
finds herselves unable to cope with
the plucky and progressive little
Jups. The subject for the next
lecture was Japnn That country
is q progressive nation and it ii
making use Of themodern discoveries
OF the western world ii, science and
in art, while the civilization of China
is practically the same as it was
thousands Of years ago. Such lee
lures have u educationalvalue,
and impress the subject upon the
mind much clearer and better than
the ordinary text book. Those who
were SO fortunate rs to hear these
lectures have q better md more cor.
rect knowledge Of tho twt,countries
than 4 eY could have obtained from
long study.
