Yesterday’s Doing* la Pan sent Para- JCrapbs—Some Snap Shot, by the Repor- torlal Oanera-Whot Was Goins on In Town Told In Briefest Manner. Dr. J. W Lee's Lecture. Rev. Dr. Lee of Atlanta entertained a select audience which greeted him at the opera house lost night Rev. Mr. Johnston made a few pleasant remarks and introduced the distinguished speaker, but to many Dr. Lee ,, needed no in troduction for as a prominent minister of the North Georgia conference, a fin ished soholar and an eloquent speaker Dr. Lee baa a state-wide reputation. The subject, "Laying Up Sunablne," was handled philosophically by the eml nont speaker. The train of thought waa clear and forcibly expressed, and his similes were natural and pleaslug. He notes that the man whose heart has been touched by ths sunshine of love cannot but enjoy the bright sunshine of life, ThejDoetor.thinks “love is to the social world; what sunshine is to the natural, and the hearts and souls devoid of lov ing sympathy for their fellow man are like flowers without sunshine, un healthy, unattractive, and short-lived.” He argued well that man was a failure who lived for himself alone, and to shut the door of his being from the outside world was to exist in darkness, and be a living cloud. Dr. Lee spoke words of encourage ment to the pessiraest. He thinks the world full of good for those who love good. His lecture was a happy one, full of sunshine and bright bits, and The Times-Recordeb wishes all Americus could have been present.
