An Admirable Lecture.

The Epworth League Of West Lib
erty was very highly favored Friday
evening by having Hon. w. H. G.
Curtis deliver his lecture. Lights
Along the Shore" Mr.. Curtis Is quite
an orator. He held large and APP
preciative audience spellbound for an
hour and fifteen minutes. The speaker
began by referring to some saying of
Solomon, in which it seems he could
not find zone woman but coming
down to the present century we could
find that which Solomon failed to dis
cover--a woman-co-equal with man
in every respect. Comparing the two
sexes ever since time began he match
ed every hero with heroine. Where
there was George Washington, there
was a Martha; where there was Ma
poleon, there was Josephine; where
there was Wetzel or a McColloch,
there was Betsy Zane. That woman
had the same capacities for intellect
ual. social and political advancement
that man has, he gave it as his opin-
ion, and history bore him out in the
assertion that the marvellous advance
ments of the American people was
very largely due to the sublime char
acter of the American woman.
