The illustrated lecture given by
Capt Fletcher Of the Salvation Army
on last Saturday night was excellent
Many of the views were fine, Capt.
| Fletcher is an earnest and enthusiastic
speaker. He lectured one and one
half hours, showing during the time
one hundred and thirty eight views,
giving an idea of the Salvation Army
work done in darkest England, and in
the slums of the great cities of the
| United States. The last half dozen
views and the sentiment in them ex-
pressed in song by Mrs. Fletcher was
worth more than the price of admis-
sion. Truly the magnitude Of the sal
vaiion Army work is wonderful. The
vast amount of good done among the
masses by this organization cannot be
estimated 1t is to be hoped that
Capt Fletcher will in the near future
repeat his lecture, to full house.
