John Lewis, A. NJ, of Boston, who
gave lecture Tuesday evening at the
Universalst church, was greeted by a
very small audience. The subject OF
the lecture, That Reminds Me, was
well chosen, one experience seeming TO
lead to another in rapid succession,
and all being of equal interest. The
main theme of the talk was altruisn,
which was spoken of as being the key
note of the Goth century and gradually
but surely superceding commercialism,
the predominating spirit of the 18th
century. The lecture abounded in an
inexhaustible fund of anecdote, and
was rich in wit and pathos.
