AS his church is the largest and the

be no new experience for Doctor
brodie to address the large audiences
which he is sure to draw in Honolulu.
While his Sunday morning sermons

ttute his chief duties while in the
city, it is before the large and popu-

day nights that he may be expected
of an audience which tends to In
spire speaker to a greater extent
than formal gathering would. The
experience with many previous speak
ers who have called at Honolulu is
that they give their more scholarly
addresses to the Sunday morning
church audiences, and ther more pop
ular and spirited addresses to the
Sunday night audiences.
Doctor Brodie's first address will
be given tomorrow morning in Cen
trail Union, and in the evening at
haif-past seven o'clock, he will adj
uress an audience in the Bijou the
atre, which meeting will be the ini-
tlal of the series planned by. the In
