The daily sentinel., 1907-10-10

Beyond the shadow of a doubt the
vending lecture was one of the fn-
est, most elevating. most inspiring
ana most beautiful addresses ever
heard from a pulpit or platform in
Grand junction. For one hour and
twenty minutes Mr.. Vending dis
coursed, the big audience sat as if
ehthrdlled. Rarely ever is a speak
err given such close attention. and
when the lecturer had finished sew
eral were heard to exclaim, why.
didn't think he had been talking
a quarter of an hour!"
MIR. Vending has a commandirg
appearance and pleasing personality;
MS voice is clear. gentle and musi-
caI' his delivery is superb: his die
ton is pure. He is truly an orator
OF the most classical and elevated
class. 1t was a marvellous lecture
a wonderful discussion.
Surely every man, woman and
child who heard that lecture on THE
Man of Galilee" left the church with
broader. deeper and clearer CON
cepuon of the Christ, his personal
ity while on earth, his undylng, ever
lasting influence. New lines of
thought We're opened up by Wend-
ling that most people in that great
audience had never draemed of be-
fore. Facts. startling but indisput-
able, We're presented one right after
the other. A person who heard
vending il this lecture will never
again want for proof that Christ
walked upon the earth: that He was
the founder of the worldwide re-
ligion; that He was the son of God
that He came to establish a king
dom, with Himself as king: and His
motive, Love for the human race -:
that Christ was the only perfect be-
Ing that ever came upon the earth
that he never made mistake. never
erred in his judgment
IL would be impossible in brief
space to review the marvellous dis
cusson. Sufficient to say that those
who failed to hear Vending last
night missed one of the greatest dis
cussions of a mighty theme ever de
hvered from the American platform
The proof of Christ's existence.
His work upon earth, His divinity
and the arguments offered in sup
port of each proof, were absolutely

What agnostical talk could hold |

being with tear-stained face"
The picture of the crucifiXion was
also wonderful piece of word de

the lecture was as beautiful as II

Vending can say volumes in few

George r. Vending is all that is
claimed for him. No wonder that |
he ranks among the most popular
and brilliant men on the American |
platform. Few lecturers have ever

city, and but few lectures have ever |
