The Lectures

Mr. Carol Norton, C.S.D., on January 10, delivered a lecture at Pottsville. A leading Scientist of that city writes as follows with reference to the lecture:—

"The Academy of Music has a seating capacity of eleven hundred. The people began to arrive at seven o'clock, one hour before the lecture began. At eight o'clock, when the lecturer and Mr. Seltzer appeared on the platform, every seat was occupied, except a few in the topmost gallery. There were at least three hundred people standing, and the manager of the Academy told us that hundreds went away when informed there was standing room only.

"The personnel of the audience was above the average in regard to intelligence, and during the hour and a half that the lecturer occupied in delivering the lecture there was the most intense interest manifested, and I did not feel an opposing or antagonistic thought. He talked in a quiet, convincing manner, and the love he gave forth melted all hatred and malice, and error did not get even a foothold."
