A NOTED LECTURER.
Bishop Newman to be Here Next
Tuesday Evening.

The Rev. Bishop John p. Newman has
been secured by the Sacramento Lee
ture Association for the next number in
the seasons course. The theme of his
lecture Will be The March of Civilfza-
tion." Bishop Newman is one Of the
strongest thinkers and speakers to-day
before the American people, and his lee
tthre upon the progress of civilization,
from the beginnings of history to the
close of the ninteenth century. is re-
garded as being one of the most com
prehensive and forceful productions he
has given to the public.
Many of our readers will remember
the deoture delivered by Mr.. Newman
twelve or fifteen years ago in the Con-
graSauonal Church OF this city soon
after his return from the Orient. when
he took as his subject, a Thousand
Miles Up the Euphrates on Horseback. -
1t was 50 replete with interest in its
review of the historical and geographi-
cal data OF the far East, as viewed and
VlVldiy reproduced to the audience by
the speaker, thar no one who then heard
him and is now in Sacramento Will fail
to hear him again ON next Tuesday
evening.
The association cannot bring too
many such speakers into its course of
lectures. both for the maintaining of its
own high standing and for the pleasure
and profit Of its numerous patrons.
