Distinctive stereopticon Lecture.

The stereopticon lecture given in the
Congregational church Tuesday night
by Rev. Willis t. Sparhawk was not
Just an ordinary lecture. In the
language of the day, it was different.
In other words it was original, dlstlnc-
tive, excellent in high degree. The
views Of the magnificent scenery OF the
Yosemite, of the giant Sequoias, OF the
Golden Gate, were superb. And so rea-
listic were the pictures and 50 vivid
and appreciative the descriptions OF
the scenes and of events associated
with them, that those who heard the
lecture feel as if they had actually been
in California and been the entranced
spectators of some of the earth s
grandcst beauties. Moreover, bubbling
sense of humor, a rich fund of Incl
dents, keen poetic instinct evidenced
by the recital of many quotations APP
propriate to the scenes described, and
the charm of strong and genial per-
sonality gave real distinction to the
lecture, which was really three lectures
in one, entitled The Heart of the Sier-
ras. 1t was given under the auspices
of the Christian Endeavor society.
