The lecture BY Miss Millar on
Monday night st the II. E. church
was a marked success both as to the
lecture and the patronage given It.
The lady had quite endeased herself
TO the people Of the church during
the weeks Of religious services she
conducted and they wefe prepared 70
give her . eompiimestasy send of
when Il came to the pussly secular
evening with which closed her visit
amongst them. A larger lecture aud
jence has not assembled In the new
church, not excepting that OF Prof..
Denote . short time previous. Per
haps lectures are becoming popular
in Rocky Ford. But aside from any
extraneous conditions Miss Millar
herself is a forcefui and pleasing per
sonality and will capture any audience
where the conditions are in anywise
favorable. In this talk upon "Peo-
plc / Have Met" she deals with her
own travelling experiences with
free hand and gives il the truly per
sonai touch that everywhere appeals
10 our human nature. To the surprise
of some OF her auditors no doubt.
her People she had met" was not
purely a character sketch OF the great
ones Of earth on whom she had been
graciously permitted to gaze. but in
troduced some OF the lowly and COM
monpiace with whom she had rubbed
shoulders in truly human way. To
he sure she told OF attending the
funeral Of Mr.. Gladstone. and looking
upon his features as the body lay IN
state In the hall Of Westminster Ab-
hey. But then was he not the peo.
plc's William" great in nobility OF
soul rather than Of blood. She told
Of attending the annual reception OF
the Lord Mayor of London. - in

religious spirit Of the Princess by
saying she was not only daughter
OF the Queen but daughter ol;he
King also. Coming from less loyal
subject of King Edwards dominions
this nigh; have been miseonsifned
into a dubiops compliment. but from
Miss Miiiar Il was rightly understood.
She told Of standing on London
b.idse-or Northumberland watch
ing the returning soldiers OF an E.yp-
,ian campaign. with a hnmor and
pa;hos such as always wakes the IN

pasean,ry of war. How she tipped,

with a shiilinp-and climbed TO the
advantageous viewpoint herself. was
amusing TO the American. who gives
up such an advantage from eailan,ry

told Of her interviews with some OF
the Irish pcasantry with delicious
droiicry: and of a visit 20 the Lakes
Of Killarney. that inspired her with
tho poets descriptive mood. She
took her hearers across to the Irish
channel again TO Aud Scotia and IN.
,rodueed them TO the unscn'imen'al
Scot. and weaving into her story
something Of her own parcn'a! an.
ecs,ry touched again the chords oil
human sympathy with quite a master
hand. And finally. coming back 10
one o. the grca, ones OF earth she
described a visit to Temple Church.
London, and a sermon by Joseph
Parker. tina, made fitting finale to
a religious teachers adicus.
A notice of the evenings entertain
