ELECTRIC MESSAGES
FOR HUMANITY UPLIFT
Famous Prison Evangelist to Appear
on Our Chautauqua.
NOTED WOMAN is COMING.

Our citizens are to be congratulate
ed upon their good fortune in being
permitted to hear the noted prison
reformer, Mrs. Lila G. English, on
our Chautauqua this year. This wo-
man of great heart and noble soul
has devoted her life to the uplifting
of fallen and unfortunate humanity.
Only a woman with such purpose IN
life could awaken the admiration and
esteem that have been accorded Mrs.
English from coast to coast through
out our great country. Mrs English
believes that when history is written
fifty years hence, her part IN 1t Will
not be measured by the good she re-
ceives from her fellowmen, but by
the good she does for them; and SO
she spends her life in taking her cleo
trio messages of the Boys Behind the
Bars to the throngs of people who
eagerly await her coming.
If we were to inquire whence Mrs.
English has acquired her remarkable
supremacy, we should probably learn
that, like all truly great characters.
she has deep, true understanding
of human nature as we see 1t all
about us. Not only can she look
through the rough exterior and see
the lurking virtues of the men in
prison stripes, but she can pierce the
shell of sham goodness and lay the
Gnoor of oopJo pon q ION on those hVD-
ocrite wolves who strut about US in
sleeps clothing.
Mrs. Lila G. English and Mrs.
Maude Ballington Booth rank togeth-
er as true benefactors of mankind.
