DR.. MACUIRE'S LECTURE
IN THIS CITY TUESDAY

One Of the best lectures to be
given in this city this season is
scheduled for the Baptist church
next Tuesday night when Rev. DR..
Gabriel r. Mcguire will lecture on
The Experience of an Irishman in
the Jungles Of Africa" The fact
that two other local institutions
have written to DR.. Mcguire in an
effort to secure him for a lecture in
this city proves his popularity and
assures a large attendance at the
Baptist church mex Tuesday night.
The following from the Brooklyn
Eagle gives an idea of what Brook
lynites think of Dr.. Maguire's lee
ture:
Tears mingled with laughter at
the lecture given by the Rev. DR..
Gabriel r. Mcguire, on The Exper-
fences of an Irishman in the Jungles
of Africa" at the union rally meet
ing of the Brooklyn Christian En-
deavor Union, in the Hanson Place
Baptist church, on Saturday evening.
Unlike some lecturers, DIR. Mcguire
acted the part as well as told of the
hardships which befela the mission
airy to Africa. Curios of that coun-
try, such as gods. headgear and
dress of the natives, spears. arrows
of the pigmy tribe, skins of several
species of snake, etc, were used to
illustrate his talk.
Starting with his trip from Liver
pool, he took the E~ndeavorers to the
Western coast of Africa, then
through the trails to the little native
community which was to be the CEN
ter of his work. From a patriotic
oratory which drew from the large
crowd assembled a burst of applause,
he would turn to some humorous IN
cident In his travels which caused
much laughter; then to a cruel GUS
tom and belief of the natives. bring
