It will be a lecture by Dr. James Hedley, an orator who has few €quals on the lyceum platform In America, The theme of Dr. Hedley's lecture will be “What is a Man Worth ?”’, possibly the strongest of his seven famous lectures ; at least it is ove that Dr. Hedley delights to give to his audiences and it has al ways been well received. While it is a lecture that gives one something to think about, it is not dry, and there will be plenty of opportunity to enjoy a good laugh on account of the humor that his talk contains. What others who have heard him think of his lecture speaks better of the man and his subject than it ie possible to pen. The following is from the Bt, Joseph, Missouri, Gszstte, where Dr. Hedley gave this famous lecture : The Y. M, C. A. Lyceum Course was opened by Dr. James Hedley, the distinguished lecturer, Dr, Hedley is a man of national reputation, having delivered some of his famous lectures aver seven hundred times, His sub.

Many of his best points were bumorously illustrated and often brought storms of applsuse from the sudience, and yet it could not be sald the sole object of the speaker was to make people lsugh. He impressed the sudience with the fact that be had something to say and Kne:w how to say il. Ln fi i LOCALS Prof. and Mrs. H. A.
