The Man Who Can" Mr.. Bennett

him to talk on this subject. He
started his college course with $40
and graduated with money in his
pocket, having paid his way by sing
ing.
Dr.. T.. II. Tagerman who has oc-
cupied the six leading pulpits of his
denomination in six ictcs, a genius
in word painting and his thoughts
emphasized by natural wholesome
wit, has the gift Of puttig fundamcn-
tai truths very simply. He will be
heard on the closing afternoon.
A few other important features on
