Heart, as Well as Intellect.

Unkapupa, the "Lyceumit' critic,
heard DR.. Thomas E. Green lecture last
winter. Here is what he says about
him:
II never heard Phillips, nor Beecher,
nor Cough; but If these great platform
figures of the past were better than DR..
Green in his Twentieth Century
lecture, it's no wonder their names live
in history. In the past ten years have
been pleased with many lectures; but
looked upon from every viewpoint, I
cannot recall All effort SO excellent as
that of DR.. Green.
1.-THE construction of the lecture
remind me OF May pole dance, where
In an hundred ribbons go out in an
hundred different directions, all meet
ing at the center. DR.. Green follows
ribbon from the end to the center, nails
it, and starts for another-each ribbon
is an argument related to the subject,
il you please. When the ribbons have
at the certer, the doctor paints
beautiful rosette as tinisher, and there
stands The Key to the Twentieth
Century,
"Dr. Green scars and paints with
| facts and arguments-not with rhetor-
ical platitudes. Most lectures of the
heavy type have the coldness of intel
lectuality: Theirs is from the brain to
the brain; not go DR.. Green. He not
only possesses the intellect that appeals
to the intellect; but he also has an
abundance OF warmth, which goes from
the heart of the speaker to the heart OF
the listener. This comes very near
popularizing a heavy lecture. He is
somewhat Greenesque, Green is: but
the mannerisms are in keeping with the
man, and all combine in making him at
times intensely dramatic"
DR.. Green will lecture in Assembly
hall next Monday evening. Dec 3rd.
