BISHOP HUGHES DELIVERS
WONDERFUL LECTURE
Lecture Under Auspices OF The Cam
bridge Lyceum Only Fairly Well
Attended. Speaker Thrilled His
Audience.

| The Cambridge Armory was by M
means filled for the lecture of Bishop
Edwin Holt Hughes last night bu
| those who were present were de
| lighted with the presentation Of
| The Biography of Boy which was
| the subject of the speakers address
The address showed that the Bishop
| who is one of the most forceful
| figures in Methodism today, was in
tensely interested in the welfare OF
the youth of the land and that in
order to help in the work of develop
ing a better citizenship for the
future he had most thorough study
Of the material from which that
citizenship would be developed.
In speaking upon the subject he
divided the life of the boy into four
periods, the first representing the
period from his early childhood until
his teens, then his teens, the awk-
ward, ungainly period, when he was
timid, bashful until the time when he
began to get control of himself, when
he begins to take an interest IN his
personal appearance, to shine the
heels as we'll as the toes OF his shoes,
to wear laundried shirts, collars and
cuffs, to walk home from church or
other public place with the girl OF his
choice and the fourth during that
portion of his life when he realizes
that God is his creator and that he
owes it to his creator to love, honor
and serve Him.
No public speaker who has visited
Cambridge in recent years has dellV-
cred a more eloquent or a more OPP
perfume address. Every father in
Cambridge and the county would
have been benefited by hearing it,
but it was not dry, it was intensely
interesting and abounded in humor,
in fact, it is safe to state that no
speaker, who has ever addressed
a Cambridge audience has succeeded
so well in holding their attention
and at the same time has so delight
fully entertained them. Not single
person left during the lecture last
night, not a single man. woman or
child went to sleep, on the contrary,
despite the fact that the Bishop
spoke nearly an hour and half he
had and held the attention of every
one and those who were present stat
ed after hearing the address, that
they would not have missed it for
anything. &'s 49,. :. 49,
Owing to the crowded condition of
The Banner columns these days and
the fact that owing to the rebuild
ing which is going on within the
building while the paper is being pre-
pared and printed, it is impossible to
give a full account of the lecture,
but the fact that he stated that
bachelors and old maids claimed to
be experts in the matter of raising
children and that we could always
raise the boys of our neighbours
family much better than the parents
themselves clearly demonstrated the
humor that frequently develops in
with the bringing up of
children. Then he spoke seriously
of the fact that so frequently fathers
are in no wise close to their own
sons; they do not confide in their
boys nor invite the confidence of
their sons they make of themselves
away during the day, out
during the evening, as a consequence
of which the boys are denied the
privilege of associating with their
own parents. He urged the fathers
to remember that the boys are pass
ing through the same stage through
which they passed and TO be SYM
pathetic, to understand them, to help
them, to guide them, and yet in all
Of this counsel there was nothing
sad but instead the speaker gifted !,
with an unusual vein of humOr Dr6-N
Sented the subject so entertainingly
that it was great delight to hear
him.
