Dr. Becker's Testimonials.

Mr. Becker is a natural and attractive orator, and never fails to captivate his audience with the grauduer of his thought and the brilliancy of his expression. It will pay you to go through mud and rain and snow and hail, and stand up all the time, if need be, to hear this lecture.—Rev. W. E. Moster, Leaf River, 111. Although the Doctor came highly recommended as a lecturer, few of our people had any conception of his distinguished ability as a speaker. Both lectures were gems of the highest order, and so splendidly did the speaker command the attention of his audience on both evenings that you might have heard a pin drop drop bet tween his sentences. —Greencastle (Pa.) Sun. The applause given Doctor Becker last Thursday and Friday nights was so enthusiastic that those who did not hear him are sorry they stayed away. He would fill his audience with sound instruction then jostle it down with wit and humor, and this way kept it up the first night for an hour and forty minutes. The second night the increased audience was sucli a tribute to the favor with which Mr. Becker met the people of Fredonia that with his eloquence,splendid rhetoric, amusing stories, his inimitable impersonations, he held the vast audience two hours. No one regrets the judgment of the lecture association in securing him. — Fredonia (Knn.) Herald.
