OF the third and last lecture Delivered

The spacious Clubroom OF the Elks waa
crowded with persons eager TO hear thia|
famous lecturer, historian and author
Or. Lee followed his usual plan OF pre-

first and then illustrating 1t BY striking
examples from everyday life.

pick out OF the past said the speaker.
"but the military genius of a Napoleon.
the patriotism of Washington. tha
craftsmanship OF a Lincoln, or the good-.
ness OF a Dominic or a Wesley is as'

OF the simDe fact OF the fatheThood Of
Abraham"
The lecturer next occupied himself with
the mind of man In relation 10 father
