In his delightful lecture on "Git,
Grit and Gumption" at the First Meth
odist church Tuesday night, Rev. DR..
Higley OF Denver, redeemed the high
est anticipations of his friends as
public speaker and added 10 the pre-
vious wide circle of his admirers in
Canon City. Dr. Higley's presence is
inspiring. his oratory delightful. his
intellect bright, his wit keen and in
cisive. his fund OF fact and anecdote
exhaustless. his humor swholesome
and his discourse one Of the very
best Of the kind ever heard here.
The audience was a large one con-
sidering the inclemency OF the wealth
er and its appreciation Of the enter
taInment was unmistakable and con-
vincing. Few men possess magnetism.
culture, forcefulness. vivacity and
the power to please to the same ex-
tent as Dr.. Higley; combinations that
assure success on the rostrum. Hold

Itcrs from the beginning TO the end
Of his lecture Or. Hlgley proved him
self TO be a man of extraordinary
eloquenee. talent and skill
DR.. Higley has something nise &c
say and knows how to say 1t effective
ly. which is not always the case with
public speakers. He breaches a phil
osophy that is as helpful as It Is en-
tertaining and reaches the masses Of
people IN doing so There is notaing
Of the doctrinaire abou, hina and he
has no renssdy To apply for the MS
and nixfor,aues Of the human race
other than those that come from the
development of wholesome. healthy.
weil-ordered lives. He believes that
there is such a thing as progress. So

A believer in that eocial democracy

The very excellent impression made
by DR.. Higley here Tuesday night has
whetted the public appetite to hear
him again and the hope is expressed
tina; he can be Induced to visit Canon
City again on a similar errand. not
once. but many times.
