ings Of June % and 30 and July l. The
admission to these lectures will be
free. but by tickets. which viii be
issued shortly.
DR.. Russell has the happy faculty Of
adapting himself and his speech to the
meeting at hand. He has made him
self at home no matter where he might
be preaching or, rather, talking, for
the Doctor does not Npreach'' in the
sense Of the word with which the ma
tority associate the word preach" but
gives a straight gospel talk that
touches the hearts OF men. His sim
plicity. his earnestnsss and his con-
secration have made for him many
friends wherever he has Travelled.
Five years have passed since he re-
linquished his pulpit and the whole
period has been spent in spreading the
Gospel among the colonlsts Of South
Africa. That his work has been a
success is shown by the fact that he
has earned for himself the incompara-
bic title with which his name is al
ways associated.
