DIR. Choate's Lecture.
Dr. Rufus Choate OF Georgetown lee
tured last night at the Wimodaughsis
rooms on Science of Correspondence"
Fifty auditors were present. 1t was his
forty-second exposition of the subject, but
his first public appearance, the previous
lectures having been delivered before an
invited company Of thinking people, at his
home, in bi-week1y meetings.
The science, which the doctor said had
been opened up to him, will eventually rev.
olutionizc society. 1t will advance in spite
of opposition. Using certain passages in
the Bible he presented Correspondence in
nature, true to themselves and true to
each other throughout the word His
lecture was not in the nature of Scrip
tural Interpretation, but was the presenta-
ton, he said, of heretofore unknown truths
soon to change the whole existing order
of things. These truths the lecturer add
ed, will open up the causes of effects. and
knowing causes effects may and will be
governed.
