The lecture by Rabbi Charles
FIeischer last evening in Memorial
hall was one of peculiar interest,
which held the close attention of his
hearers. The rabbi has a pleasing
and his clear, sympa-
thetic voice adds to the effectiveness
of his delivery. His charm as
speaker lies in the beautiful phrasing
of his Language, the quiet force of his
earnestness and the command of his
subject. He has fund of ready wit,
which is made use of in illustrations,
though never SO as to detract from
the solid elements that make his lee
ture worth hearing. His closing plea
for q nobler human brotherhood was
a fitting ending to thoughtful and
address.
