Appreciated Lectures:

! The following from the Cathage
(Ills.) Collegian. tells Its oxn story of
the appreciation with. which an Abb
lene speaker was heard recently:
"Rev. DR.. Haithcox Of TAbilene,
Kansas, gave the fifth lecture in the
course. Besides the regular lecture
he gave an address to all the students
in chapel on the subject Of The
Working Factors Of an Education and
another highly instructive and stim'
alating one to the juniors and seniors
on The Will The public lecture
was one Of the best Of the course thus
far. The sabject was The Great
Need and Problem Of the Present
Generation. The speaker in a forci-
BILE and thoughtful manner analyzed
the movements and phenomena Of the
day, showing that the psnaceas sug-
gested by politicians and would.be
reformers for the cure Of present evils
must prove inadequate. The discus
sion was thoughtful and thought-pro-
voking, and to those who have direct.
ed their thought along the same lines
highly instructive and entertaining
