RENOWN ORATOR
DRAWS CROWDS
At LOCAL CHURCH
Request for Mondays Lecture
Follows Appearance in Three
Talks Sunday.

Rev. Joseph Hill, who spoke at Pill
grim Baptist church, Cedar street and
Summit avenue, last Sunday, brought
to st. Paul three of the best mes
sages ever delivered here.
The renowned minister, lecturer,
orator and gospel singer. spoke at
three services Sunday to a large and
appreciative audience and was in ev-
cry respect equal to the splendid
reputation he bears. So popular and
much in demand was Rev. Hill that
he was requested to lecture again on
Monday evening at Pilgrim church.
This request was complied with and
was announced Sunday evening fol-
lowing his address.
The topic of Monday evenings dis
course was relative to the human
side of life and the many types Of
character represented. In his usual
convincing and pleasing manner, Rev.
Hill carried his hearers into every
phase of human life. explaining as he
went the things that make or break
a people.
Popular Speaker.
Rev. Hill is beyond question of
doubt one of the greatest speakers of
the race. His triumphant success
throughout Canada and in many Sec
tions of the United States has made
him much in demand.
His ability to rise up to his present
place has been largely due to his own
initiative. Born in Port Royal, Va,
and being one of six children to be
supported by a widowed mother, he
succeeded in educating himself at
Phillip Exeter Academy in New
Hamshire. Rev. Hill has appeared
on chatauqua platforms as a lectur-
er for years.
His personality is of such that he
Is always welcomed to appear again
In every community he visits.
His lecturers are the greatest in
spiration to the young Negro as to
what is possible for the person who
wills to accomplish the best in life.
The four addresses delivered here
shall long be remembered by every
one who heard them. The desire is
unanimous that Rev. Hill may fill a
return date at his convenience.
