Although the Weather Was Warm

tcDtion OF His Hearers at Epworth
Last Evening.

What proved to be one of the most
entertaining numbers on the Y. NJ. c.
A. lecture course was that of Byron
w. King, president of the King
School of Elocution, at Pttsburg,
Pennsylvania, at Epworth NJ. Il.
church, last evening. Throughout the
warm evening, the good sized audi
ence was held closely by the speak
er and his address was interesting and
very profitable.
The speaker of the evening was in
troduced by Rev. ]. j.. Currin, of the
First Baptist church, and in opening
his remarks, he at once gained the
good win of his hearers. with pecu-
liar ability he won the hearts of his
audience quickly and his remarks
were of a quality in line with the
heated season. The number in at
tendance last evening was not so large
as on other occasions during the
course.
Eyes That See Not and Ears That
Hear Not" was the theme of Mr..
King, in which he showed the work
of many of the great masters of po-
etry and music. whose labors were
almost In vain because people could
not read them and appreciate them.
He advocated a proper training
whereby we may learn to see things
as they really are and to give ear to
things which we may at first think
too classical for consideration. He
said that many people could not see
into great business propositions as
could others. He declared that IL
takes Il genius to see through diff
culties and labor in one steady eff
fort toward business success, and not
ed case where a gentleman had
purchased an old swamp which was
worthless in itself and by persistent
effort with the hope of n home ahead
of him he obtained his desire. Many
are the eyes and ears that are dull
to wonderful business propositions.
But while business Is necessary
one should not let II or money hide
him away from the world and all
| that IL good within II. The speaker
| declared that IL he had the oppor-
| tunity to sign a note whereby he
could obtain a million dollars he
would not do It. He spoke of the
many milionaires who are penned IN
/
| and who have no enjoyment in the
world They have allowed business
and money to keep them from seeing
| Ind hearing the work of humanity.
| Many people look upward so much
| toward the stars that they cannot sec
| anything on the earth. This Is alst
| deplorable, and such people are al
| most as hopeless as the class which Il
ever hearing and seeing things with
| cut knowing what they are hearing
or seeing. DR.. King spoke of Ham

being asked by Polonius. stated tina
he was reading words. SO II is Otter
when people read whole books ant
only read words, without any idea o
them. He spoke of the greet mean
ing of which many words should b.
to the average persons.
Among the many significant words
which have magnificent meaning are
"home," flag and "life." Each wa
illustrated vividly by the speaker. HI
brought his address to a close will
number of splendid portrayals o
the higher meaning of these words.
| DR.. King stated in closing that HI
had hoped to be an uplifter of thu
human race and by his message o
good cheer he thought perhaps HI
could gain much of reward in tn
bringing of some person forward II
life who had stumbled and perhap
fallen along the way. Throughout hi
remarks, the speaker kept his hedrer
in laughter and showed much abllit.
