DR, JAMES HEDLEY, LEOTURKER,
Becond Attraction on ventre Hall Lec'ure
Coarse to Appear Friday, November 27,
Friday following Thanksgiving the
second number on the Centre Hall
Lecture Course will appear in Grange
Hall. 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.
Is a Man
Worth?” and the speaker held bis
audience for nearly two hours with
magnetic power. 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
