dated most beautifully last night at
the Assembly Rooms by the Rev. K.
Hez Sven, pastor of the Second Bap-
fist Church, corner Fourth street and
Virginia avenue, Washington, ID. q.
The Rev. Sven lectured under the
auspices of College Avenue Baptist
Church, before very large audience
that nearly filled the hall. 1t was an
unusually large audience for lecture,
for people in Annapolis don't like
lectures as a rule. The lecturer was
introduced by the minister of College
Avenue Baptist Church, the Rev
Thomas p. Holloway, who is personal
friend of the visitor.
The speaker began his lecture in a
very happy vein, saying the audience
before him was not like that the
woman dreamed that she asked an in
terlocutor in a minstrel troup which
had been playing TO small houses.
She asked him why the audience was
like carbuncle on a fish, He gave it
up.. when she told him because it was
a gathering ON a small scale. The lee
turer said he considered the audience
fairly large one. especially as there
was political meeting in town and a
for hisytext "Do Men Love Women?"
he answered his own query by saying
s'the majority of them do; the rest he
is ashamed of. I" He said the hugeness
of this world is not the business bulk,
but love. The best men in the world.
among whom he enumerated Bismark
and Carlyle, loved women and all the
Presidents did, save one, and Mr..
Roosevelt loved two.
The speaker said that men do love
women as certainly as the world
whirls; as certainly as the clouds
move in the sky; as certainly as the
sunset. when it sets, crouches at the
feet of the Maker of the Universe; as
certainly as Mount Shasta holds up
its head in the west. Men love the
daughters and sisters of men because
they can't help it, and the lecturer
said he could prove this by the fact
that men love ugly women, as ugly as
a mishappen image in muddy stream.
He cited q number of instances, and
said ii was because these ugly women
fascinated the men who loved them.
Niagara Falls in water. said the lee
turer and man still fall in love. The
easiest, pleasant duty that man has in
this world is when the heart leans
to womankind. 1t was the Divine
intention that men should love women.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning said +:
ssHe of the Heavens and Earth brought
us together so perfectly, holding the
souls in his hand. |"
II men don't love women there is
something wrong with mans heart
and life. The lecturer paid glowing
tribute to old maids, and said many
of them are old maids because they
are true to some man who has been
called out through the gates of death,
and many are also old maids because
it is the fault of their mothers. He
said the North Pole to his mind was a
pyramid which one half the world is
building for the other half, and that
love flies and solidifies and goes there
to form the pyramid, praise. good ser
vice and all good deeds do likewise
and some day its apex will be attain
ed. Mr.. Sven defined falling in
love. He said first it was the dis
covery of the woman, then it was find
ing something in her to admire. The
mans CONSCIOUSNESS goes out to the
best there is in her and he has a de-
sire to please, to possess. to protect,
to benefit and to provide for her He
paid a glowing tribute to widows and
said nine times out of ten they can
win a mans love when a single girl
cannot. They know how to captivate
The great trouble in the world, the
speaker said, was that men don't give
enough love to womankind. Ii they
did the world would have less sorrow
and darkness. Men love women be-
cause women will it. Women make
YOU love them. If q woman makes NJ
her mind to have man love her, she
generally accomplishes it and is skill
full in securing the man. Mr.. Sven
depIored hasty marriages and matri-
monial mistakes. He denounced man 's
pretentions to love woman and the
robbing of a wife's love by another
than her husband. He said for such
as these there is retribution in this
world and man who robs another OF
his heart must suffer on this earth.
He said no man can love a woman toe
much, and a man cannot give too
much of his heart to q good woman.
1t is an enigma why some men love
some women. The first man never
loved himself half so much until he
got the other half of himself. The
lecturer recited a poem of his own
composition entitled "Lonola," Oh
"The Palace of The Deep" 1t was
an exquisite casket containing many
precious gems of thought.
Mr.. Sven deplored the mother-in.
law joke, and said every man should
love the woman who bore his wife.
The self made man, he said. Otter
owes his great success to the little
woman who stays at home Sweet
hearts are heart sweets. The one
thing that pays q man best after Low
ing God and serving Him, is to love
the best woman in the world. MeI
should 60 on telling a woman that
they love her. She must be told al
the time. People don't like to heal
lectures repeated, but woman like
to hear II love You, love you,
81 10 5e you." He dwelt upon woman'i
credulity and said women believe thai
men love them, even ii it is doubtful.
He said love is the only thing OF
which to build home, and divorce II
she most damning sin of the world
today. The people. the city and thu
nation are better if we have all ths
love we should have. Love is th'
overflow of Gods goodness, said th'
lecturer, and as if to emphasize thu
affirmative answer to the query, the
unique title of his lecture. the Rev
