The Lectures

with contributions from J. W. Hassell, W. L. Kent

Denison, Texas (Society).—John Randall Dunn, lecturer; introduced by Judge J. W. Hassell, who said in part:—

It is the spirit of this age to judge men not by their professions but by their deeds; to lift the mask from the face and look upon the features that it hides; to tear the form from every creed and inquire for its vital truths. Everywhere, in the social, economic, and religious life of the country, men and women are asserting the right of individual freedom and showing the courage to investigate though they may not agree; and this fact is attested to-night by the presence here of this magnificent audience.

I met the lecturer but a few minutes ago, but in that time I have learned that he is an educated, intelligent gentleman. He is here as the accredited representative of a great church; great not merely because of its membership, but because the individuals who compose that membership (and I believe I have as wide an acquaintance with them as anyone not a member of their church) are representative in intelligence, in citizenship, and in high ideals.
