BISHOP QUAYLE MADE GREAT
HIT.
Packed House Heard Great Lecture
at Grand Last Night.

A full house greeted Bishop Quayle
at the Grand opera house last night
20 hear his lecture On The Tragedy
of Rip Van Wrinkle"
He sketched the life of Washing
ton Irving, the author OF the story
and the times in which he lived. He
illuminated this biography by a
glowing tribute to the founding and
development of America.
Bishop Quayle refused to sympa-
thise with Rip Van Wrinkle and pro-
nounced him che original hobo. With
this as basis he launched into the
heart of his message revealing in a
masterful manner the glory and dig
nifty of toll. His humorous oDserva-
lions OF indolent folk was a scream.
People laughed until the tears flowed
Nothing old was told. 1t is an abso-
lutte impossibility for Bishop Quayle
to tell an old story without adding
so much from his strange vision of
life that his message is ever new.
His last half hour revealed ora
tory at it's best HIS tribute to the hui
man hands was magnificent. His eli
makes were reached with an ease and
yet decked with such a wealth of po-
etc expression that his audience fol
lowed him breathlessly.
One man was heard to remark,
I'D sooner hear Quayle than attend
the best show l have ever seen" De
corah will be glad to welcome Bishop
Quayle to our midst at any future
period.
