Rev. w. B. Matteson will begin next
Sunday evening In the armory, q series of
picture sermons" under the general title,
From Bethlehem to Calvary" The pur-
pose is to bring wildly before the mind,
through the eye-gate as well as the ear
gate, the great facts of the life and teach
ings Of Christ The finest obtainable views
illustrative of the life of Christ and of the
places associated with his ministry will be
used. The stereopticon is one recently
purchased by Mr.. Matteson and is dissolv-
ing lantern of the best make, using the best
calcium light. The series cannot fail to be
full of interest and instruction.
Phillip Krohn, d. D., of Chicago, most
highly entertained fair sized audience
Tuesday evening at the Congregational
church by his lecture, 1.-THE Generals have
met" DR.. Krohn is model lecturer, his
stories and illustrations cleverly setting off
the serious parts of his talk. AS prisoner
in most of the southern prisons, as an officer
in command and on the staff he saw all
sides of the war and met in their hours of
sorrow and joy the leaders in the Union
army. OF Gems. Grant, Sheridan, Thomas,
and the more prominent ones he spoke par
ticularly, but gave credit to some whom he
claimed were, at least, not given the oppor-
tunIties they deserved. In closing he paid
a high tribute to Lincoln, which was well
received.
