X. III. COleman's Visit.

Light from the East" was in.
deed given by Bro, Coleman to the
Masonic brethren in their lodge
room Tuesday night. He made a
very interesting and highly in
Structive talk of about two hours
touching the traditions OF Free
masonry as gathered by him dur
ing his extended research in the
Holy Land. At the conclusion OF
this lecture fourteen new Pilgrim
Knights were made.
Wednesday night Bro. Coleman
gave his "Open' lecture al the
Methodist Church to a fair size
congregation. 1t lasted about two
hours, covered periods of sacred
history and scenes dear Il the
heart OF all Christians and held the
attention Of all there unto the
finish. Those who failed to come
out and listen to Bro. Coleman on
this occasion, in the opinion of the
writer at least, missed one of the
best opportunities to draw from the
fountain OF knowledge and wisdom
that chance ever put in their way,
The writer heard Bro. Coleman
twenty-one years ago upon the
same subjects, just after his return
from one OF his pilgrimageS, and
while, perhaps, more vigorous then
in delivery than now, the rpening
process Of age has added to the
general value Of the lecture rather
than detracted from it, Father
Time has indeed been kind TO Bro.
Coleman for, unlike most men al
his age, in place of running down,
he seems to be building up.
