H. v. ADAMS,
THE LECTURER

No one would imagine that H. v.
Adams is a preacher from the looks OF
him. No one would imagine that H.
V. Adams is a lawyer from his gen.
eral habits, yet Mr. Adams is guilty
of both these appellations. He not
only carries the load lightly. but we
rather suspect he is proud of the first
title at least, and the second one
helps him out of troubles occasionally
without having to turn over all his
property to an outsider in part pay
ment. While Mr.. Adams has quit
"lawyering" in = general way, yet
there is hardly q Sunday that goes
by that he does not bless some CON-
munity with little bit of the best
preaching they ever heard.
There is nothing about the cut Of
the man, there is nothing about the
laugh Of the man. there Is nothing
about the optimistic personality Of
the man, to indicate the type known
as preacher" but this great big world
has discovered that a man can be a
preacher and be = laughing optimist
