The lecture in the regular course on
Thursday evening, by DR.. Thomas Green
of Chicago, was largely attended, and
spoken of by all present as one OF the
best lectures ever heard here. The
speaker is typical Westerner, most pre-

and magnetic in manner. His subject
was the "Key to the Twentieth Cen
tury," and his discourse was full OF his
torical information, given with the pur-
pose of showing the future by the light
of past events. His final dictum was
that the Golden Rule is the only safe and
satisfactory one for nations as for in
dividuals, and that if our government
and our country are to continue pros
porous existence we must learn to depend
upon it. The interest in the speakers re.
marks was shown by the rapt attention
which he received. The lecture was we'll
filled with the usual quota of anecdotes,
which were well appreciated. We have
not had lecture course for years which
is so highly spoken of as the one this
year, and present indications are that it
