The hall .was well filled bv'-an uudi-

what the 'speaker' had to say and it
wns evident-that ''he had the sympathy ol a, majority of his hearers
made up.as lhe audience was "mostly
of followers of and lvelievers' iu the
doctrines promulgated by.Mi. llaw-

A representative ni the Ledger was
cordially invited to occupy a ' seat
at atab'.e near the speakers' stand,
and had ample opportunity to .hear
and to note, "the effect of the' gentleman's remarks upon the audience and
must say that he he-Id the attention
