q heart TO heart talk. such as was
given bs Governor Glenn, Of North
Carolina
He did not Try to show scholar
snip, and yet his was q master ad-
oreSs-he strove not TO be polished.
out his every sentence was rich IL
dlction-he came not as an orator.
but we sighed and shouted with him.
His brain was on fire and his
heart throbbed for the development
Of the best IN characterize best in
citizenship and the truest in broth
erhood. He and the other great
Chautauqua speakers preach these
things in ~eloQuence. They know they
are vital 10 right living-vital to the
building OF happy homes-vitai 10 the
growth of the best type OF citizen
ship and the OWNING finality Of a
personal heritage that crowns life q
success.
such are the truths that are

From audubon Iowa) Advocate:
Following the music, came tn.
great feast Of the entire chautauqua,
Gov. Robert b. Glenn, of North Caro-
lima was introduced. Words are in
adequate to describe his speech
Nothing short of The full address.
could give our readers a very clear
idea of the vast range of his address
and the multitudes Of splendid things
that he said. The announcement that
Gov. Robert B. Glenn. of North Caro-
lima, would ppe on the program at
our ch~autauqua, did not create any
comment Why? Because we did not
then know Governor Glenn. If the
!. people of Audubon county had known
in advance, who Gov. Glenn really
5 was. the enclosure about the tent
5 would not nave been sufficient TO have
held the people. let alone the tent
What did he say? Now we will no,
attempt to tell you. You can no,
fully appreciate this wonderful ad
I dress without hearing it. If you ever
S get another opportunity to hear Gov
0 Glenn by travelling five hundred miles
hear him. 1t will be the best money
5 you ever spent. He did not tell Il:
. of the great things he had done. H
I paid the most beautiful tribute Il
n both the boys Of the Blue and tn
boys Of Grey. Gave them both credi
for being honest, but condemned tn
n politician who misguided them an
sent them to war. Do not under
a stand that he spent all his time Of
S the war. This occupied a very SINAI
part of his time. He delivered q grea
temperance lecture, a great sermon
q a great discourse on economies.
/ great lecture on fads and fashion:
le There was not d great evil known t
e, man that did not suffer al his hand
e during the Jour and a half hat h
talked. The longer he talked, tn
1T more intense became the interest al
the vast audience seemed loath I
leave when he saidS&Sod night. W
never heard a greater sermon. "
n never heard a more fervert praye
r We never heard a greater temper
re anc lecture. You ask. is the Cover
n nor sincere? Yes. No man could &c
lie liver such a lecture without havin
30 it in his heart. If he had it in n
es heart. he must live it. May the pee
4 pie Of Audubon some line have tn
"a privilege of hearing him again.
as From Jefferson City tMo.) Post:
Gov. Glenn is great. He is fore
