M. tomorrow will have the privilege of hearing Dr. Enipringham, the noted temperance lecturer, it was an nounced to-day. Dr. Enipringham came into na t.onal prominence nine years ago bo cause of his action when president of the Ministers' Association of Syra cuse, N. Y., in appointing a com mittee to investigate the commer cialized vice in that city. Largely as a result of liis work, the segregated district of Syracuse was abolished Sopie years later, when at the height of his popularity as the rec tor of the large and influential St. Paul s—the "Cathedral" of Central New York—he resigned that po sition of prominence to become the New i ork superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, this action challenging wide attention because of the financial sacrifice involved.
