The Better America" series of picture
talks. On Sunday night in Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, great preacher was
telling his audience some of the things
which Americans had to live for. 1t was
not sermon, not lecture in the ordi-
nary sense, but simple, straightforward
talk-first defining the vision Lincoln had
seen of great America, and closing with
portrayal of the tremendous earnestness
and idealism of our Roosevelt. Through
it ran stories about peopie-Watt, the
mechanic, Burbank, Edison, Hartman,
Kipling, Bell, Carnegie, Rodin. Caruso-
who had found the will within them
selves to do big things for others and for
America. The audience sat spellbound.
Here was new thing, a picture-talk in
which the stereopticon flashed out series
of vivid, stirring reasons for better and
stronger effort to make each individuals
life more worth while.
The whole address was dignified, yet
simple; spectacular, yet sincere; earnest,
yet in no sense the usual type of propa-
ganda. The speaker, DR.. Newell Dwight
Hillis-one of the foremost men on the
American lecture platform today-knew
his subject. tor months he had studied,
perfect new method of presenting an
educational entertainment which would
build a loftier understanding of real
Americanism. At last he had found it.

fast have the opportunity of hearing
these splendid talks given in the Congre-
gational church on Sunday evenings

make one want to hear more. Next Sun
