The lecture abounded in keen wit and humor yet forceful logic and argu ment, and the freig'ht train Sunday school and the vestibule limited Sun day school were portrayed iu their true light. No one could hear the lecture aud not be impressed with the great good accomplished by the vesti bule limited Sunday school.
