inc in beautiful shades of color on the
screen. This was very remarka ble5and
| novel sight The number Of vibrations OF
| tones of different pitch were stated and 1T
was shown that the high tones resulted
| from short and quick vibrations Much
was given along this line. This part of
| the lecture was but the sub-structure on
which the more important was to be
built. The picture of the ear followed and
! it was shown, as far as could be seen, how
sound effected the organism of the ear, to
be conveyed to the brain through the hear
ing nerve. The functions of various nerves
were spoken of and their location shown
on the chart. The speaker showed
how the nerves and the brain were effected
by stimulants, narcotics and incorporate
exercise and by mental labors or dissipa-
ton. The ground was taken that changes
were wrought in the structure of the
nerves and nerve cells by habits, physical
and mental, which make the will power
less to resist evil. The statement was made
that ha bit would SO change and effect the
nerve force that very much of bodily mo-
ton is, involuntary, while what we call
the mind is largely controlled by some
mysterious physical condition which con-
trolls the nerves. The speaker here reached
the more important part of his lecture by
showing how body, nerve, brain, mind
and soul were affected during the early
and formative period of life by surround
ings and educative influences which were
making character. While he did not use
To-, Iyca
the young mind a sponge, which absorbed
everything about it more prone to evil,
perhaps, than good. He spoke of the
dangers of youth, especially such as sur
round boys, and his remarks to parents were
startling. No mother could have heard
the lecture without determining that her
son and her daughter should be more
closely guarded from evil in the youth per-
iod. The lecture was finely worded, rich
in illustrations, intensely important in
things that have most to do with character
and happiness, and will be long remem
bered by all who heard it, It's influence
for good will be felt in this community.
