Bishop William F. Anderson is a
man that came to us highly recon-
mended and left with a recommen-
dation from the lips Of all who
heard him. He showed the mind
OF keen observer, the logic of a
philosopher and wove into his elo-
quent discourse the convincing ar
gument OF good. The title Of his
theme was 1.-THE Fountain Of Per-
petual YOUTH and he showed how
through the medium Of service, how
by doing we'll everything that you
undertake that you would have this
youth with you until the evening
Of life. His lecture was spiced BY
many little humorous anecdotes and
stories but these We're all points
for his final conclusion. He show
ed himself a master in public ora
tory and held the attention of his
audience from the start. II

When Alton Packard, the cartoon
list, made his appearance, the peo-
pie knew that they we're going to
be amused and they were not dis
appointed. Packard is humorist
Of the first grade and he not only
entertained the audience with his
cartoons, but in his rapid fire man man:
Ener he ratified off joke after Joke,
story after story, in q never ceasing
laugh producing stream. His origin;
al. poems, his songs and above all
I his excellent acting through all his
work made him a capital entertain
i er. His work was rapid and every
stroke Of his crayon was covered
4 by some witticism. He is a Keen
/ observer of life, and his entire en-
tertainment is drawn from his per-
sonal contact with people around
him. He ended his lecture by a
Il crayon sketch Of some old Hoosier
Il people and merged on into the
realms Of the serious and gave a
beautiful picture of what life real
II " ISIS His entertainment was en-
j joyed by everyone and the packed
i tent evidenced that everyone was
There.
