Mich., on Dr. Hagerman’s lecture date the city lighting plant •was out of order from the middle of the afternoon until 9 o’clock at night

Lamps and lanterns furnished feeble light at the auditorium, but Dr. Hagerman was undaunted by adverse conditions and soon had-such a grip on his audience that the people did not care whether they had kerosene lamps, tai low dips or no lights at ail. Dr. Hagerman Was. born on an Ohio farm and worked his way through Baldwin College. As a Methodist mln Ister he served some of the largest churches, including pastorates tn Mil waukee and Des. Moines. He Is still serving his fellow men. but in a broad er field, where no single -denomination secures all Of Ills labors .

McConnell and many other high class lecturers, but few if any have caused more favorable comment than Dr. Hagerman.” ’ g Thursday, February 8, at the Methodist church.
