PROF BELL'SLECTURE
A SCHOLARLY ADDRESS AT THE
METHODIST CHURCH.
\ Large udtence Greeted Prof. Bell Who
Gave an Address on Views and View
POints"--Eyery Sentence Full of Meat
An Easy Delivery.

Prof. Bell was favored with a well
filled audience room at the NJ. f. church
Thursday night and he gave his lee
ture on Views and Viewpoints" The
lecturer showed from the start that he
had his ideas we'll in hand. 1t was evil
dent that he had given much thought
to his theme; his conformity to rhetori.
cal principles and his diction were con-
elusive of most cultivated mind; his
delivery was rather that of a teacher
than of the popular lecturer
The central idea was introduced with
concrete illustration and with it the
speaker established general truth. A
ply stefan, a lawyer, preacher, biol
ogist, school man at a meeting at
which the speaker was an attendant
each had different ideas as to the sanity
of Prendegrast, the assassin of Mayor
Harrison. Each were honest in his
views but like the six blind men of Hin.
doostan were estimating from. as many
view points. People vary as to con-
illusions in science and religion. There
are the extremists and the conserva.
tives. One unrestrained would lead to
anarchy and chaos; the other, satisfied
with the present and pessimistic as to
the new, would, if allowed to decree,
hinder all progress. Both are honest in
their ideas but they see from different
standpoints. Each should have char
ity for the other and thus take middle
ground. The diversities are common
among creeds, among interpretations of
biblical records and teachings, in poll
tics, in municipal governments. One
person always sees the beautiful, an.
other that which is offensive. They are
viewing from different viewpoints. The
man who has but one viewpoint and is
intOlerant for all those who do not see
as he does, is in degree monoideaist.
MOnoideaism is form of insanity, and
in proportion as man is slave to one
idea in that proportion is be insane.
The speaker urged charity for those
who differ honestly and contended that
all should be sufficiently broad to de-
duce an opinion after viewing from ev-
cry possible viewpoint. A coalescence
of honest thought insures a middle
ground solution that is safest and best.

Which coils with deadly grasp
And lures its victim on to death
Then ore his grave doth laugh.
There is tide in drunkenness

An hundred thousand souls year
And poisons up their blood.
There is such death in drunkenness;

Where reptiles dare not 90.

In Dantes' Inferno.
