HON. W. q. WALLACE LECTURES
ON SUBJECT AT Presley
TERRAIN CHURCH.
CHURCH roo SMALL FOR CROWD
Mr.. Wallace Handled Subject in a
Scholarly Manner Showed That
Christ Gave 10 the World Itx
Wisdom and lnculcated
Love, Purity and
Honesty,

The address delivered Sunday night
at the Presbyterian church by Hon. w.
II. Wallace, Of Kansas City, called out
one Of the biggest Congregations ever
assembled in Mexico. Every seat In
the Auditorium, prayer meeting room
and gallery was occupied and in ad-
dltion there were seats for 2 hundred
OF more provided by the use Of
chairs in the aisles.
Mr.. Wallace spoke on the theme,
'Jesus OF Nazareth as a Man" and
from start to finish held the attention
OF the great audience. The consider
alton Of the subject was upon four
lines; Jesus as a teacher, as an orator,
as a citizen and as a philanthropist
The mode OF address was argumenta-
tive. He showed that as a teacher
Christ has given to the world its true
wisdom, inculcated the true principles
of honesty, purity and love. Unlike
other teachers He not only could in
struct by precept, bnt by example as
well. The teacher is greater than the
soldier, and Jesus as the personifca-
ton Of the truest and best in teaching
stands withouta peer In the worlds
history.
AS an orator He possessed, as none
have ever possessed them, the three
Igreat essentials OF orators, conception,
presentation and effect, Leaving aside
the method OF teaching, which the
world had ever followed until His
time, He spoke not byprecedent but
upon His own absolute authority. The
effect Of His oratory Is seen in that
when the officers were sent by the San
hedrim TO take Him, such were His
words that they could not apprehend
Him apd gave as their only reason.
"never mar spake likethis man. And
the words spoken by Him, who never
set at the feet OF great teachers, have
come down 10 our age as the most sub
