opinion is up to this hour divided.
But, DR.. Green, in Difference to several
requests, has acquiesced and will
choose THE Burden of the Nation as
his theme.
There Is not today more prominent
figure on the American platform than
DIR. Green. He has been heard in every
city of prominence from Maine to
California and from Oregon to Florida.
And wherever he has appeared he has
invariably captured his audiences by
his splendid personality and matchless
eloquence.
DR.. Green was recently appointed a
a delegate to the American Peace Con
gress held in st. Louis, and the Post
Dispatch of that city said: 1.-TWO
