the greatest expectations and en-
ItIanced large audience from its
lbcginnig to end was the eloquent
Lecture of George r. Vending. one
lof the foremost platform magnets
Iof America, who appeared at lGp-
worth NJ. T.. Church last night rs
the seventh and last number on the
IY. NJ. c. A. lecture course.
"rhe Man From Galilee," lecture
vastly different from any written in
the last two centuries, and yet one
that has gained unbounded popular
'ity, painting new impressions upon
Itho minds of hundreds Of audiences,
was the one delivered by the great
orator last night. Vending scared
into the heights OF real oratory and
impaired thrilling cloquencc and ele-
vated ideas. He spoke in clear,
'silvery toned voice adding to his
great subject, pure and clear style.
weddings lecture, that Is the
real thought and its effect upon the
audience, cannot be transferred to
paper. He said in the beginning.
Regardless of what the form of
government may be, map will never
be democratic. We want, always
have wanted-a king. You say the
day OF kings is over, but never can
that be. Human nature is 50 con-
stituted that spirit must work upon
lspirit and there must be leaders of
,men-kings. The real kings come as
often from the humble peasant as
from the higher life. Kings are
born and not made"
| Some nineteen hundred years ago"
said the speaker. "Galilee was the
most densly populated country in
the world, and 1t was ia this land
that the Man of Galilee was born.'
Vending portrayed in vivid word
pictures the lay of the country, de-
lclaring 1t grand. beautiful garden,
n country fair. 1T was here among
these beautiful hills that was spoken
y sermon, determined to live through
out eternity--the sermon on the
mount. The preacher was called q
reformer, and many scoffed at Him
as they do the reformers Of any age.
he was not reformer, but the
fairest among thousands, star to
mankind, a real king come to save
the world. He came to establish q
kingdom with He, Himeslf king"
Continuing, Mr.. Vending drew
powerful comparisons between the
Man OF Galilee, and man, "Men ,ate
each other, are selfish towards each
other; they may eat at the same
table, share each others meal and
associate together, but they will
never love each other. The Man Of
Galllee loved all mankind. He was
free from jealousy. He came to
establish a Kingdom. without fol-
lowers, without armies, without or.
atory or spectacular images. but he
came to founl Kingdom on love.
II was wonderful ambition, a re-
lmarkable undertaking and 1t might
have been called all dream, had It
not been for the great fact---He sue
cecded.
Born In obscurity, simply a work
| ing man, yet he posed as prince
OF most royal nature. He possessed
astonishing egotism, His self aser-
ton was unparalleled in the histor-
iCal annals OF the world. Yet He
was unsclflsh and his attitude to
women, always tender and kind. Is
1.-THE highest tribute to that sex that
has ever been paid
1T is an easy thing to give away
money when Won have nlenty, but
hive, so free yet scarce. Is the only
thing that you can give that makes
lclean hearts and clean hands" de-
Iclared tho lecturer. 'The Man Of
Gallee gave His love, He sacrificed
everythlng for the love He bore man.
He was courageous and truly man
Ily man"
The lecturer referred to the moral
side of the Galileean There was
no defect. no imperfection He
was the man, aud the only man who
combined all nature. His parallels
We're founded on the most common

llcys, hills, sheep, twigs, leaves. etc.
etc. and yet with these subjects lie
wrote parallels Dhat could not ne
bettered by the magnanimous soul
OF a Shakespeare. Why has there
been in all history no man like film
You can't even imagine another
creature like Him.
"Was this man OF Galilee all in
vention? Not single point of i'm.
perfection can be disclosed. He was
perfect and to invent perfect being
1.-THE inventor must be perfect He
twas supernatural His sentences
hang like banners in the air to guide
all mankind"
Continuing, the lecturer drew q
picture OF the death upon the cross
