Fine Lecture on "CathedraIs."

A pleasing and well-attended lecture
was given in the First Baptist church
Wednesday evening by the Rev. Fred
NJ. Preble, D. D., of Auburn. DIR.
Preble took as his subject 'Cathe-
drals," and he gave q very vivid word
description of the cathedrals visited by
him in Europe. DR.. Profile did not
conline himself to mere description,
but wove into his discourse a liberal
amount of the romanticism which sur
rounds these ancient shrines, making
Il lecture which was found very de-
lightful by his hearers.
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the Christian Associations
Of Coburn Classical Institute, of which
Dr. Preble is one of the trustees.

straighten it out the writer would go
to the White House. and II he did not
get redress there. he knew what he
would do.
