G. Campbell Morgan of ENGLAND de-
IFered the first in the series of Bible
lectures to be given under the auspices
OF the Mortified Extension society at the
house Of Hope Presbyterian church last
night
The audit@~ium of the church was
1lled with people to listen to the man
VINO IS acknowledged to be one of the
greatest Bible students of the age In
appearance, Mr.. Morgan is not preposses-
hg. He is tall, thin and wiry. He wears
MS halr long and combed to one side IL,
d niahher mat would suggast that the
pl"cess OF coming 1t was simply throw
ing 1t back with his hand. His low col
lar and general appearance is that of a
poet or painter rather than that of q
preacher
AS ne speaks he becomes more and
more attractive, and ne assumes some
pastures that are rerna IkabIe in en-
phasIzing his remarks He is fuen+
speaker with q seemingly fnexhaustibJe
SUPPLY or alliterative adjectives that are
sprlnkled freely through his remarks.
lie took for his text last night tae
ninth verse of the second chapter of the
Eplstle Of st. Peter. From this he ok
tracted the phrase, Eye are that We may"
and emphasized mis- points by it. He en-
phaslzed the perpetual purpose of God
IN all things, and used one or two ant
slm1es that smacked of a dry humor
to illustrate his points.
He spoke for nearly an hour and he'd
his audience until the last words. The
meetings will be neld each evening with
the exception Of Saturdays until April IL.
In an interview yesterday Mr. Morgan
said:
Il am not an evangelist My work is
featuring on the Bible, and l shall do
here as L have done elsewhere
My meetings are for Christians to
strengthen and ground them in the faith
rather than in PROSECUTING outsiders
1T has been gratifying and successful,
judging by the crowds which have at
and Baltimore. From Baltimore I went
to Norfolk. and then came West.
From st. Paul l shall go to Duluth,
and from Duluth to Cl.cago There
shall have a week OF Iecturing. Dayton,
Ohio, l shall also visit for a week. and
after that go to the East. | shall spend
the summer in NOrthfield, at the insi-
tute. until August, when l sail for Eng
land
My work at the institute will be Bible
Iectures. In fact, / COnfine my work to
BlDte study and lectures, and find it the
most fruitful field"
I Mr.. Morgan says that he expects to do
al OF the talking at the meetings in St.
Paul. He has nobody to assist him. He
- - az uIlIFlng worker ana Keeps a score
tary busy when he is not in the pulpit
has work IS very methOdical, too and
he thus accomplisnes a great deal.
Mr.. Morgan is now about thirty-eight
years of age. and was formerly a Pres
byterian pastor In London. He became
interested in the Keswick movement and
was invited to this country by Mr. Moody
to give Bible lectures at the Mortified
institute. After Mr. Moodys death he
was invited to America to take Mr.
Moody's place and consented to come.
He is as quick and jealous as Mr..
Moody. but far more thorough and
scholarly

o'clock a. m. and $50 p. m
