AMERICAS PREMIER LECTURER COMING

OF rare enjoyment. Anyone who pur-
chases a season ticket and attends
only this one lecture would feel we'll
repaid. but seven other. splendid en-
teftsinments can be enjoyed on the
Same season ticket.
DR.. OFT is the only lecturer in the
United States that nearly q half a
million Of people pay annually to
hear. More than s0Ns Of his lecture
dates are return engagements and so
great is his popularity that in order
to secure the noted speaker it is
necessary to make application more
than q year in advance.
Augusta people who heard DR.. OFT
four years ago on the City Hall
course know that he was the finest
lecturer to appear in this city within
their recollection, and that his ".Sour
Grapes" was one Of the most delight
fully entertaining, instructive and in
spring lectures they ever listened to.
His new lecture to be given here
Victory" (not a war lecture) is
pronounced by the press of the coun-
try to be even superior.
Edward Amherst OFT was born in
Youngstown, Ohio, in 1867 and raised
on a farm. He studied and later
taught at Hiram College. At the age
Of Is he began public speaking. His
oratory is of the conversational style.
his voice is equal to the largest audi
forums and his control Of audiences
is wonderful. His powers of descrip-
ton. his flights Of oratory and his
humor are Of so high an order that
to draw a comparison with any other
lecturer would be odious. He is in a
class by himself-a star of the first
magnitude. ..
DR.. OFT fills more lecture engage
ments than any. other man in Amer
lea He is the author Of a number, of
ext-books used in the best colleges
and high schools and his lectures
have passed through many printed
editions.
