Large and Appreciatiye AudIence.


Inc Raleigh News and Observer OF yes
terday has the following:
Rev. Edward l.. Pell at Central Meth
odist church last evening delivered his
Illustrated lecture, From Bethlehem in
calvary The audience was the larges,
that has attended a lecture here since
sam. Jones appeared; and they wera
heartily appreclatlve.
Inc lecture was an effort TO present the
footsteps OF Jesus, IN their order rom
bethlehem all the way TO Calvary. and 10
impress upon the mind through the eve
and ear realistic picture OF the Naza-
rene and Of his life
Mr.. Pell, In a forcible and earnest way
presented vivid word-picture OF the life
OF CHRIST on earth. At times he rose TO
eloquence. and thrilled his hearers.
ION this very night, at this very hour. L"
he said, 1.-THE Saviour gathered his dis
ciples together In the upper room al
the Last Supper. and Instituted the holy
sacrament" He then pictured the scene
Of the Last Supper, and the midnight in
the Garden of Gethsemane
This was peculiarly effective and ap-
propriate, last night being the anniver
sary of that sacred occasion.
The lecturer was assisted by an ope "a
tor. who with a powerful stereopticon
threw upon the screen numerous dis
solving views OF The places Jesus yisite 4.
and also reproductions in fun colors OF
great paintings. Illuminating the main
Incidents OF his life. Among the latter
were The Announcement to the Shep-
herds" THE Wise Men from the East"
The Wedding in Cana" The Paralytic
Healed" Raising of Jairus Daughter
The TRANSPORTATION, THE Good Sa-
maritan," Jesus Blessing Little Chill
dren." Raising Of Lazarus" Christ Be-
fore Plate" Christ Bearing His Cross"
THE Resurrection The Ascension, 4"
and many others.
These paintings by the masters were
finely reproduced in all the colors OF the
originals. the dissolving lime-light makes
a very effective picture. The views were
all of famous paintings, and these formed
an art gallery in themselves.
This lecture was one OF the most enter
tanning and instructive ever heard here.
