FAMOUS SCIENTIST LECTURER HERE MONDAY EVENING

Rev. Andrew J. Graham, C.SJB., of Boston, a famous Christian Scientist lecturer, was here Monday evening and addressed the local congregation at the Scientist church on N. Van Rensselaer street. Dr. Graham is one of the best known Scientist lecturers in America and his address attracted many members from other denominations. The church proved to be entirely inadequate to care for the many who wished to hear him, and many were forced to stand up and others were unable to get into the church to hear him at all. The eminent speaker has proved to be a magnet in every city in which he has spoken and there were many in the audience from nearby towns, some even coming as far as from Lafayette. _ . The lecture in itself was intensely interesting and was delivered in a masterful, forceful way and the audi- A ence was firm in its conviction that the address rendered was one of the best ever given in the city. The local Scientist congregation is steadily growing and the members hope to become a power for good in the cofamunity and to erect a modern church when their finances permits. A synopsis of the address given last night will appear in the Friday issue of the Evening Republican.
