Mr. Taylor, of Chicago, delivered his first lecture, under the auSpices of the W. C. T. U. The cnair was taken by Mr. Allan, Principal of our school, who in a. few words introduced the lecturer of the evening. The subject was “That Boy of Yours.” The Speaker treated his subject in an able, scholarly and eloquent manner throughout, shewâ€" .ing that the boys were to be the hone of the country if their lives were rightly directed. The lecturer paid quite a deserved compliment to the lady graduates of U. S. colleges, showing the increase of them in numbers over the boys and prophesied that if the latter would not be delivered from' the curse of the cigarettes and liquor, the ladies would yet rule nis country, (United States) even to the Presid- ential chair. He made some capital hits on, “ HOW to manage you1 boy,” shew- ed the lack of home discipline in the stubborn and obstinate one man, who often smashed things in many of our churches to closing them up. His peroration at close fer the preservation of the boys, was very fine and striking. The lecturer is a man of pleasing address, a polished and captivating Speaker showing him to be a man of education. The lecture was well received by an audience completely filling the hall. The meeting on Wednesday even- ing wasa decided departure from the ordinary temperance lecture. The subject was dealt with from a. scientific standpoint. ' Through the influence of scientific investigation great changes in our ideas of temper- ance have grown upon us during the past thirty or forty years. Every- body believes iu temperance but through ignorance regarding the proper meaning of the term, the ‘ temperance peOple are split up into fact-ions. Temperance he defined to be “ The moderate use of things good in their essential nature and total abstinence from things harmful ’ Alcohol he defines as a drug, having no food value, a deadly poison and like all other poisons it has its own physiological destinyâ€"the chief point - - - .. . . ., ”Huh“ IJJ w-vâ€"v . t, on _ of attack being the brainâ€"it therefore1 destroys the. reasoning faculties, and allows the animal nature to predom- inate.
