tainments of all kinds range from that
price 70 $3.50 that surely giraffe like
Brother Rose. a monkey like himself
and a canary bird ought to bring a
bigger price than penny performance
which they have figured as yet the
meetings have brought in to defray
the expenses. which are to be great
considering the comforts that have
been prepared for the entertainment
Of the crowd. Where could we find
for the price of s1.00 an entertainment
more beautiful and more beneficial.
Laying aside the purpose of the meet
ing it would give s1.00 worth of pleas
ure to hear Rev. Bulgin speak on any
subject so vast is his knowledge and
so varied his illustrations; with an
eloquence and wit superior to our best
lecturers. and an understanding sur
passing in its strength received from
the profound study of the multitudin-
GUS works of the writer's of all ages.
To give or try to give an account of
Rev. Bulgin's third sermon seems al
most presumptious and those who
have heard him speak will realize how
weak any attempt must be. To deal
with the wit and humor alone would
make an article too long to find space
in the daily paper, and his references
to literature, art and science would
give the majority of us a peep into
intellectual things which to our small
minds seems thing incredible. His
references to and familiarity with the
bible would keep one searching the
scriptures for days and days to find
and read anew the many passages he
uses and the many books from which
he quotes Even to give the subject
matter of the sermon is task too
great, for it requires a knowledge no
ordinary individual possesses and our
Limitations in this regard are pro-
foundly regretted. To hear DR.. Bulgin
makes one feel like being up and do
ing in the line of later education and
bids one cease their dreaming and
really do something for the improve
ment of minds where the cobwoebs of
ignorance lead us into the many temp
tations to which our flesh is heir.

announced, The Man of Galilee," and
his text, And His Name Shall be Call.
ed Wonderful, Counsellor the Mighty
God, the Everlasting Father, the
Prince of Peace" from the book of
Isaiah, one paused to wonder just how
he would begin to handle it. How his
analytical mind can take a subject
which would seem to us all sentiment
and give such scientific demonstra-
tion of the truth of the words in them
selves and in the arguments which
makes them yet truer still, are the
things which make him a great speak
er and a man who may be listened to
| by the profoundest thinkers of modern
times with the greatest respect for his
intellect and his courage, to labor on
through the many yissitudes of life
with all its oppositions and come forth
with a message from God to man with
such convincing proofs that it would
tax the powers of the most learned to
find flaw in the least or greatest
statement he makes.
He speaks of the Savior as the only
real wonder the world has ever known
and as the only real character which
has ever existed The only man who
pennyless, swordless and penless, ever
founded an empire. The foolishness
of mankind has been demonstrated
through all time and never has there
been character in truth or fiction
which has even attempted to reach
perfection. Wonderful because there
never was but one and never will be. /
He proved that in trying to do away
with the divinity and miracle of the
birth and life of Christ we take on four
great miracles which can not be done
away with He proves the task so
great that one must accept or admit
of absolute disinterestedness, for who
would dare to try and follow along a
consecutive line of thought to find out
for himself or herself whether or no
this great human tragedy which has
given the world redemption from sin,
is true or false2 Only those who have
studied widely can hope to decide
through intellectual research these
mighty questions which are stirring
the minds of men today as they have
never done before. But why should
this research be when one like this
