Makes Mon Think.

The News, OF Victoria, b. e., says
Of Father Vaughan, S. j., who recent
ly lectured i'll that city:
Father Vaughan has been with us
during the week. His audiences have
been made up OF Protestants as we'll
as Catholics. He has proved himself
to be polished Speaker and a clear
thinker. His visit has been like a
refreshing breeze, for he has brought
with him freshness which imparts
vigor to the community. In reality
the Reverend Father is h,morist.
His face is the face of a humorist.
Even in his most earnest moments
there is an under vein which keeps
an audience pleased with itself, and
largely accounts for the popularity Of
the great preacher. When he has fin
ished speaking there is no doubt in
the minds of his hearers as to his
meaning. He speaks plainly and
stops when he has finished, something
which men of less ability often fail
to do. Whether we agree with him
or not, he always makes us think, and
that is worth great deal"
