MRS. GlLMoRE's LECTURE
&C tributecI.)

An apmeciative little audience
gathered in the church on Beech
street and Sixth avenue Thursday at
ternoon to hear Mrs. fmOgene l.. Gil
more talk Of physical culture and ex-
preston. She said that for sake of
perfect expression one must have per
feet physical development, which
must result in perfect health; that
the development of the three parts of
man--'nind, soul and body--is SO
equally essential that none Of these
can he separated from the others. and
that the condition Of each affects the
condition of the others. She remind
ed us of the characters we knew who.
possessing sweet and lovable souls
within, We're unable to express them
selves to others because of the tense.
unframed and consequently rapallart
bodies through which they must
speak. She showed by charts The
outlines of the wel7-developed body
and its proper poise and in contrast
the pictures of the detected figures
which we cannot but confess are seen
upon our streets more frequently han
those of erect carriage. She explain
ed briefly how disease, loss of vitali-
ty and loss of happiness must follow
the neglect or misuse of the body.
She said in too many of our nab-
lie schools and colleges children are
crammed with mental culture and
sent out physical wrecks unable TO
make use of what they have learned
because of physical inability.
Mrs. Gilmore will speak again in
the church next Thursday evening at
S o'clock. and all who are interested
in this phase of culture are cordially
welcome.
