DR.. Thomas Hinkle of Plainvllie de-
liyered a semi-religious address In the
afternoon on Oliver Cromwell ana KEY.
f. A. Fredenhagen, secretary OF the
Society for the Friendless. talked Oh
prison reform in the evening.
DIR. Hinkle's lecture was scholarly
discussion of the life. ambition and
achievements Of the Great Commoner.
The following extract will give a hint
of the subject matter OF the lecture
which was delivered in a clear, wen
modulated voice:
This man was not a fanatic, in the
ordinary acceptation of the term, for
instead of being erratic, or irrational,
he displayed a genius as Just ana
efficient governor of men such as the
world had never seen before his time.
To be great is always to be misunder-
stood To be sure, this man had
sublime faith in his God and this was
ever uppermost in his mind. but he
brought to the management of gov
excellent judgment. Modern states
men of every nation of earth today
would do well to become permeated
with that altruistic and Godfearing
spirit that pervaded the soul of Oliver
Cromwell, and those who are in high
est measure succeeding in affairs of
state today are to the best of their
ability doing the will of Cromwell's
Cod Give man true Christian
heart, plus the consummate judgment
have a man that is worthy the name
of a king among men. Such man
was Cromwell. Beyond question he
gave to England the most perfect form
of government that she had ever
known before his day. And about all
of the criticism that has been heaped
upon him in the past has faded with
time. He stands in world history to-
day as one of the greatest benefactors
of the human race. The personifica-
ton of courage: righteousness and dar-
ing, he has left an influence for noble
zeal and inspiration that will live for
ever. 1t was that same spirit of lib
erty and equality nurtured and pro-
mulgated by Cromwell In the great
English rebellion that infused itself
into the hearts of our Revolutionary
fathers. The great Puritan comman-
der fought for civil and religious lib
erty in England and that brave band
of Puritans that landed at Plymouth
Rock, brought with them this same
spirit of freedom that was to sweep
English despotism from our own
America forever.
