ALDEN, A MAN OF POWER

Corinth people know a good
thing when they see it. When
they can both see and hear, they
know beyond doubt. Many saw
and heard Judge Alden last sum-
mer in our local Chautauqua
work. Those are loud in his
praise. Some are yet enquiring:
WHO is the lecturer coming on
April 10th?'
To this answer comes a three
fold answer:
Alden.
A man.
A power.
Alden is today one Of the most
popular platform speakers we
have; a native Of Massachusetts,;
a descendant of the Mayhower
Pilgrims; a cousin of the poet
Longfellow; a speaker Of author
ity; a lawyer of rare ability; an
intellectual genius; all orator who
declines the title; a speaker
whose profound knowledge of
his subject and the needs of an
American audience makes it pos
sible to link truth, humor, pathos,
sentiment and oratory in such
way as to leave a higher ideal
and purer atmosphere wherever
he goes.
A man of fine physique, pleas
ing in. appearance, with excellent
speaking voice, with a fund Of
humor, with a message worth
while,
A power which deals with prob
lens truly American, which up
holds truth and nobility and
tears down their opposites, which
erects higher standards Of thought
and of speech and action. Judge
| Geo. D. Alden is a man C power
in any community.
| By all means hear him in this
city Monday NIGHT, under the
auspices Of the Parent-Teachers
Association. He'll give you a
whole message and keep yon:
awake at the same time.
