DR.. Hagerman lives in the east and
has been delivering lectures under one
management for fifteen consecutive
years. Early this spring the manager
wrote that during all those fifteen
years he had never heard one word OF
criticism of DR.. Hagerman's lectures.
Not only that, but his record for re.
turn dates is unsurpassed by anybody.
The chief reason for. this Is that
DR.. Hagerman is real man, with q
real message. He knows the human
heart and how to reach it. He has
head full Of brains and knows how to
use them.
He is eloquent and keen of wit. His
lecture abounds in humor. He arouses
and inspires and broadens. He is no
butterfly chaser. He strengthens life,
supports the government. and builds
for stability and permanence.
Doctor Hagerman's record on the
platform is unsurpassed. He has not
only built up parsonage that demands
his repeated return, but he has Sown
seed that has resulted in tremendous
harvests of good. There are young
men by the thousands throughout the
United States who have been lifted out
Of lives of ordinary plodding and in
spired to big things of high use to
themselves and their friends.
Every young man in the county
ought to make it point to hear him.
He brings message of courage and
q wonderful treatise on human life in
Its most interesting phases, something
that will give a keener conception Of
the great things of life

He will take us over the vanishing
indian trails of the last frontier and
under the spell of his oratory we will
see the beauty and majesty of the
primal woods and will learn to love
the children Of the forest-the laugh
ter-loving, steel-spined, elemental types
which the frontier produces.
Sarett will wear the costume Of the
wilderness guide and will tell tales in
the dialect of the French-Canadian.
He will sing the songs Of the Chip
pewas, rollicking squaw dance songs
and the plaintive lullabies Of Indian
mothers. He will play Indian music
and dance the weird dances Of the
medicine men. He will impersonate,
with remarkable realism, the Chippewa
chiefs as they deliver, with aboriginal
power and naive humor, their council
talks at the tribal pow vows.
Here is a lecture out of the ordi-
nary; it throbs with the spirit of the
great out-of-doors and brings with it
the tang OF the pine woods and the
sparkle of mountain streams. It can
not be secured from books, it comes
from the mighty rock Of nature.
