Bishop Brattan's address before the
students ofthe Okolona Industrial Col
lege last Sunday morning was just such
a broad and comprehensive ~presenta-
ton as that eloquent and able gentle
man would be expected to deliver. The
eminent divine's recognition Of the
possible good work of the institution
under its capable directors, is sugges-
tive of the interest he manifested In
coming here to deliver the annual
sermon at commencement, and all
who heard him were well repaid for
their trip out to the college. In the
evening Biehop Brattan filed the
pulpit at the Presbyterian church and
his eloquent sermon there was also
listened to with marked attention by a
large and interested congregation.
No matter under what auspices he
comes, Bishop Brattan lie always q
welcome and honored visitor to
OkOlons.
DIR. Royal w. Raymond's address at
the Industrial College on Tuesday
night was that character of address
which will leave it's imprints upon this
community for years to come. DR..
Raymond, Though a young man, is in
that class of eloquent, vigorous, think
ing. gentlemen who are making the
twentieth century bristle and gingle
with the outgrowth of their aggressive
thought, and his coming to us at this
time, is a compliment for which our
entire community may well be CRATE
full. He came two thousand miles to
deliver a message of love of Him who
came when the world was darkest,
delivered his message Of peace and
good will toward men, though his
earthly life was resented and tFagical-
ly ended. DR.. Raymond, who has
been in charge of a very wealthy and
influential charge at Stratford, Con-
nectlcut, since promising to visit
0kolona, has been promoted to q
much broarder field in Brooklyn,
where on his return he begins as
the pastor Of one of the largest
NJ. E. church. He is the honored
guest of Mi. and Mrs, A. 7. Stovall
while in our,widst.
