Gs.Fffs Retire con nittee received tele-
gram Wed aesday evening telling them
that Mr.. BarIette could not fill his en-

Immediately wired the Redpath Lyceum
Bureau to engage another speaker and in
less than an hour had secured DR.. J. G.
Lorimer, pastor of fremont Temple, Bos-
ton, to take the place of Mr.. Burdette. The
committee were fortunate in being able to
secure SO able man on such short notice.
The lecture given oy Rev. DR.. Lorimer
of Boston at Sewers hall last Thursday
evening was one Of the best things we have
heard in the course, and those who came
from a distance expecting to be entertained
by Mr.. Burdette, although they did not see
that gentleman, must have felt well paid
for their trouble. DR.. Lorimer spoke on
'sChanges and Chances, or Times and Tides
in the Lives of men, The subject was a
good one and was interesting to all as was
shown by the enthusiasm of the large COM
pany present. The people Of Barton would
be pleased TO hear DR.. Lorimer again. The
next and last entertainment in the lecture
course will be a concert by the Temple
Quar5ette Company Of Boston, Friday
evening, March 18th.
