3.-Tho programme OF lopiure4 aud adj
dresses has proven so full that the sx.
ercises will from now OF commence at
1880 a. m, instead OF tho scheduled time.
Tho morning devotional services was
under tho leadership Of Rev. Gruber, Of
Fairvlow Many OF the coIlagors were
present aud q good meeting was held.
"ChTisl, Law and RlghlsOusneis"
was tho subject Of Dean Wrlghts talk.
These lectures primarily intended for
ministers are always largely attended
by the laymen. Tho "lhiukeTY" OF the
lecturer IL so large and so full that all
tako pleasure in listening to his earnest
words.
The lectures by ], G. Ambrose have
been full OF food for the serious and
spripkled with wit Tor the humorous.
lie has the faculty OF making his hear
era think. Every sentence embodtoa q
seed idea which has the strength OF =
sermon: every paragraph ot his address
Is u lecture condensed, His IDEAS are
terIely aud strongly put HesaYa what
he means and conviction Is wrought In
the mind Of his hsarsn "Gye i'm a
Lift" and Myself, Ssli'Respect," were
the subject Of his lectures to-day. On
tho subject OF WDmAn's suffrage he said !:
"The family, not the individual, 10 the
unit which multiplied makes tha Atlte.
The woman 10 tho heart Of tue family,
and should not the state sec 10 1t that
tho woman is given tho right 10 ballot
to govern that state? Civilization Is
not In her old aga. She IL yet In her
teething period, and needs much help
from the mother. II woman knocked
the world down with an apple, can't
she brace It up with her ballot? Place
Mary on piece Of paper and she iS as
tall ne John. In oil things except the
ballot she IL tho peer Of any man. Some
say that women arc too good TO be
dragged into politics; then there must
be soms men too bad to DO left in.
Suffrage is q duty rs well as privilege,
and when duty calls, bravo and purO
women step to the front. II is said that
the wicked flee when no man pnr'
Suoth, but they will run little faster
II good women are alter them. Our con-
Stltution should grow up TO woman aud
away from iniqulty."

by those who heard him tonight
