Rev. Robert Mcintyre delivered his
lecture on Buttoned Up People last
Thursday evening. The fame of the
lecturer had preceded him and secured
full house. His descriptive power
was evident from the start, and this
with his spice and wit held the atten-
ton Of the audience without tagging
for an hour and three quarters. The
receipts of the evening-in addition to
amount received for season tickets
amounted to S33 50; which is very
gratifying to the Woman's Reading
club, under whose auspices the lee
ture was given. And, by the way, one
of the best parts of Mr.. McIntyre's
lecture was where he referred to the
grand work Of the Woman's club, and
the advantages and benefits which
may be secured for community by
and through organized and we'll di-
rec.ed effort.
