THE ENTERTAINMENT COURSE. If one may
Judge by the general comment heard on the
streets, in the business places. and IN the
homes, the entertainment course this winter
is proving a success in every sense OF the
word We have already had two numbers and
have yet to hear the first criticism We have
heard great many compliments and have every
reason to believe that the remaining NUMBERS
in the course will prove even better than those
which have already been given. This, Thurs
day, evening, January sth DR.. John Merrite
Driver is to speak on 1.-The Romance of Ma
tons Birth, or the origin Oh tile hiiS'i>oA'
Constitution" Dr. Driver is, without ques-
ton. one of the most interesting and facslnat-
ing speakers upon the American platform.
He has appeared in more than four thousand
Lyceum Courses and in many of these has
appeared annually for the last dozen years.
He is a man of great personal magnetism,
fine appearance, and ready speech. He is
world traveller and has lived under many flags
and met MANY of the worlds famous men and
women. No one should underestimate the
excellent attractions that are coming this '. in
ter in the Entertainment Course, because
these opportunities are rare ones and we are
certainly fortunate in being able to have them
here. The last two numbers OF this course
will, in all probability, attract very large audi
ences, and the managers of the course are an
ticipatng that it will be necessary to limit the
number admitted to the church. Some state
ment in regard to this will be made before the
concert given by the Cathedral Choir on Janu-
airy 22nd. 1t will be necessary to begin the
lecture this evening at SIS to accommodate,
the members of the Congregational church
who are to hold their annual meeting to-
night The officers of the church have
quested US to delay the lecture fifteen minutes
to enable them to close their meeting and have
time to get in before the lecture begins.
