F L O W E R S. 

T he 

lecture  at 

the  armory  on 
F r i d a y ' n i . ht  last  (Jan.  6)  was  very 
largely  attended,  and  much  enjoyed. 
T he  histrionic  powers  of  the  lectur 
er  were 
exhibited. 
remarkably 
During  the delivery  of  the  discourse, 
lasting  over  an  hour  and  a  half,  at 
tention  seemed  undivided,  and  cor 
responding  pleasure  was  indicated 
by  applauding  eyes. 

T he  varied  experiences  of 

the 
Israelite  and the R o m an  were  graph-

ically  portrayed,  and  the  scenes  at 
and  at  Antioch  were 
Jerusalem 
made  as  plain  to  the  mind's  eye, as 
word-painting  could  possibly  accom 
plish  such  a  result. 

One  of  the  scenes —  that  of  the 

chariot  race,  in  which  the J ew  over 
came  the  R o m an  — was  so  wonder 
fully  described  that  one  could  ea-ily 
imagine  the distended  nostrils  of  t'ie 
Arabian  steeds,  the  rapid  chariot 
wheels,  and  the  shouts  of  thousands 
of  voices  applauding,  were  actually 
in  process  of  being  witnessed  by the 
audience.  Reaching  the  miraculous 
demonstrations  of  the  Man  of  Gali 
lee  (especially  the  raising  of  Laza 
rus 
the  speaker 
made  plain  the  proofs  of  Christ's 
divinity,  which  he  had  stated  as  one 
of  the  objects  of  the  b: ok. 

the  tomb) 

from 

T he  hatred  between  J ew  and 
R o m an  was well  depicted,  appropri 
ate  facial  demonstrations,  changing 
of  the  voice,  and  earnest  gesticula 
tions  contributing  to  the  risibilities 
as  well  as  to  the  instruction  of  the 
audience  in  regard  to  the  peculiar 
ities  of 
characters 
the  different 
named  in  the  story. 

fiction. 

T he  wisdom  of  allowing  no  ex 
tended  representation  of  the  r  om 
in  which  Ben  H u r 's  mother  and 
sister  were  imprisoned  for  so  long 
a time could  but be approved.  T h at 
room  and  the  little  orifice  through 
which  scanty  food  was  given  to  the 
prisoners,  can  be  regarded 
in  no 
otner  light  than  as  one  of  the  few 
literary  errors  made  by  Gen.  W a l 
lace  in  the  make-up  of  his  plan  of 
" T he  Black  Hole  of 
the 
Calcutta" broughtdeath  to its prison 
ers  in  a  short  time,  for  lack  of  at 
mospheric  oxygen.  T he  supposi 
tion  that  the  human  heart  and  lungs 
could  continue  activity  for  years, 
with  a  less  supply  of  the  life  sup 
porting  chemical  element,  must  be 
beyond 
the  privilege  even  of  the 
fictitious  writers.  Hence  we  were 
not  sorry  that  our  lecturer  did  not 
attempt  the  impossible,  but  did  give 
a  touching  picture  of  the  meeting  of 
parent  and  child  after  the  leprosy 
had  been  removed  from  the  prison 
ers  by  the  Great  Master. 

Altogether  the  entertainmentvon 
Friday  night  seemed  a  success,  if 
one  is  to  judge  from 
remarks 
made  by  the  retiring  members  of 
the  audience at  the  close.

Mr.  Ford  led  the  opening  meet 
ing  for  the  men  T h u r s d ay  evening. 
" N ew  Y e ar  Resolutions"  was  the 
topic chosen  and  the  influence  of  the 
college  man was brought  out  vividly. 
M r.  Phinney  of  U.  of  M.  gave  a 
short  talk  on  the  work  as  carried  on 
in  A nn  Arbor. 

D r.  Haas  was  given  the  attention 
of  a  large  audience 
in  his  Sunday 
evening  address  in  the  chapel.  He 
very  clearly  showed  that  the  career 
of  the  college  student  should  be one 
so  hard  as  to  command  the  respect 
of  the  world  and  should  have  the 
quality  of  producing  some  good  in 
the  world.  Dr.  Haas  will  have 
charge  of  a  hospital  in  China  after 
next  summer. 

R e v.  M r.  E d w a r ds  arose  to  the 

needs  as  usual  when  called  upon 
Sunday  to  preach  in  place  of  Dr. 
Silcox,  who  was  kept  away 
from 
the  service.  M r.  E d w a r ds  held  the 
close  -attention  of  a  chapel  full  of 
people,  w ho  are  always  enthusiastic 
over  his  sermons.

a 
letter  received  by  Prof.  Weil  will 
the  fall 
be  of 
months  I  had  the  pleasure  of  a  visit 
at  the  College, but  I  did  not  succeed 
in  locating  you,  although  I  believe 
I  looked  everywhere  except  in  the 
the 
tunnel.  While 
looking  over 
shop 
the  new  milling 
I  noticed 
machine  you  had  fin'shed  up,  and  I 
believe  that,  as  a  college  work  goes, 
this  is  a  very  creditable  piece  of 
work,  except  for  the  fact  that  it  is 
not  well  painted. 
remember 
rightly  it  was  stated  that  this  was 
on  account  of 
the  casting  being 
rather  rough.  N ow  it  happens  that 
after  I  got  into  manufacturing  work, 
it  was  sometime  before  I  succeeded 
in  getting  a  good  hold  on  the  matter 
of  painting  machinery. 
I  believe 
now  that  we  finish  our  engines  bet 
ter  than  any  one  in  the  market,  and 
therefore  assume  that  it  might  be  of 
interest  to  some  of  the  students  to 
have  them  see  just  how  this  work 
is  done.  T h is  company,  therefore, 
prepared  a  set  of  samples  which 
to  you  by  one  of  the 
will  be  taken

that

from  the  state  for  several  months. 
He  felt  that  he  should  give  up  his 
place  to  some  one  who  could  give 
the  college  personal  attention.  Mr. 
Moore  was  formerly  a  member  of 
the  board  from  1893-99.  He  was

by  the  death  of  the  Hon.  Franklin 
Wells,  and  has  given  to  the  college 
much  valuable  time  and  painstaking 
judgment  and 
effort.  His  sound

him  a  very  valuable  member.
