On Wednesday, March Ia, DR.. A. A..
Willets. styled an "Apostle of Sunshine"
will deliver the next regular course of
lectures for the Westminster Lyceum
Club. DR.. Willets has for the past half
century occupied front rank among the
pulpit orators and lecturers. He is highly
recommended by the clergy and press
and 1t is natural to expect something for
soul food from him. Rev. DR.. Hodge,
pastor of the First Presbyterian church,
Wilmington, N. c., has the following to
say of DR.. Willets: "The lecture of DR..
Willets last night was to those who were
fortunate enough to enjoy it, one of
those rare treats to satisfy and charm
without alloy. No man can lecture on
sunshine and fill his audience with plea
surable emotions without being full of
sunshine himself. 1t showed itself in a
couutenance of remarkable mobility, re-
flectipg in it's play of expression every
varying emotion that he described in q
sweet and sympathetic voice, in mind
garnished with the choicest gems of lit
erature and sparkling wit and flashing
with racy anecdotes, but above all In O
heart full Of kindness and love for his
fellow men, that enjoyed all the good
things of Ifo, and with gratitude to the
giver and desired to share them with
everyone else. A lecture like this de-
lights the mind and charms the taste and
makes one feel not only happier, but
better"
