HOMER 7. WILSON LECTURES.

attendance considering the weather.
But II the people of Prescott had any
idea of the man and the message he
has brought to us, there would not be
standing room in the largest hall that
could be obtained
By peculiar train of circumstan-
ces that could not be avoided these
lectures were not advertised as they
would oterwise have been. Now that
the man has demonstrated what he
has for the public there seems to be
no excuse for not having a crowded
house every night 1t is not the ad-
mission fee. He takes a free will of
fering and is satisfied with that. for
the work he is doing is calculated to
reach the masses, and all are hidden
to come, without money and without
price His lecture on the Man of
Gallilee' delivered on Sunday evening
at the Christian church, was mas
terpiece Of deep religious description
OF the Man" Christ. Every lover of
the Lord Jesus Christ should have
have heard that lecture. They would
have a better conception of the hall
lowed sacrifice which was made for
fallen man.
"The Uncrowned Queens" was the
subject of the lecture on Monday
evening and stolid indeed was the man
or the woman who could sit back and
listen to this splendid tribute to mo
Their" and keep back the tear of pleas
ant and refreshing memory of that
sainted being who went down into the
valley of the Shadow of Death" to
give them being If time and space
were given us we would like to give
a resume of this lecture, but those
who heard it will never forget the
hour they sat and listened to that
magnificent address, and those who
We're not there will never know what
they missed by their lack of interest
in the greatest series of lectures that
ever were delivered to the people Of
Prescott.
"If We Only Knew" the subject of
Tuesdays lecture had lessons which
would make the world a paridise in
which man could dwell in peace and
joy fl they were only obeyed. And
there was nothing presented which
was far-fetched or difficult of obedi-
ence, and the only reason that we do
not have that paradise here is because
we delight to blight and blister our
Ineighbors and friends rather than to
bring to them the cup of pleasure and
blessing.
"Sparks From the Anvil" the sub
ject of the lecture on Wednesday eve
ming was listened to by large and
appreciative audience, although the
people came through a pouring rain.
Never will we forget how we were at
one time convulsed with laughter and
the next moment melted to tears and
how the memories of 'when our chill
dren were young" cametrouping up
before us and we could see before us
the chubby hands and the sweet baby
faces and how we when we assumed
the responsibilities of a family man,
trembled at the solumn, eternal task
which we had assumed. This lecture
was to the boys, and there was such
splendid examples held up to them,
land at the same time there was moth
ing which could not be initiated by
any boy who was presently that 1t
seemed to us that if there was spark
of ambition in the soul of boy who
listened to this masterpiece of oratory
he would go out a better boy, more
determined student, and one in whose
breast would continually be heard
that voice of his inner-self saying Il
will"
The lecture this evening is for men
and every man in Prescott should hear
it. The subject, "The Eternal Bro
therhood of Man." is a subject which
the world is discussing in this present
day. 1t is the one subject that we
seem to think will, if properly work
ed out, bring order out of the chaotic
conditions with which we are sur
rounded.
The great problem of the common
schools will be dealt with Friday eve
ming. mad this lecture will be given in
the Court House, as we believe the
