DR.. g. A. Dorman was introduced Ia
to large audience Of men Sunday
afternoon at 4 o'clock. He was intro
duced by Secretary Paige, who spoke
In the highest terms, having heard
him twice In Chicago, and secured bis
services during his lecture tour on the
coast.
He is a talented physician Of 25 years
experience, who has become a medical
evangelist and has labored since four
years In the lecture field of his spec
allty. He struck hard blows at the
quackery and malpractice that preys
off social vices, and held bis audience
spell-bound with his earnest portrayal
OF the needs Of individual reformation.
The sin Of sensuality was the prevail
ent sin, from highest university to
lowest school houses. Many people are
opposed 10 the presentation of delicate
truths. God had not been silent and
our silence was Grim nal. Our boys
need instruction. Christ had not Kept
silent. Let all read bis sermon on the
mount.
What he most despised was those
celestially refined Christians, who want
TO expurgate the bible. Boys on the
streets will tell your boy what he ought
DOT to know. You bad better talk and
live with your boy yourself, as you
should.
Ifanyone criticised these lectures IL
IL some victim Of q secret sin, or prac-
tices Of the past be has brought up in
hi4 memory.
