ce the whole gamut of emotions, as
though listening to the details of
some great event of yesterday, and a-
bove all, to feel that you knew the
man and your heartbeat in sympathy
for his countless adversities, and per-
haps shed a tete' over his manifold
misfortunes ; to have experienced
this is to know Jean Valjean. And
so the large ,gathering felt as this
wonderful hero of fiction appeared in
the flesh, in the person of the Rev.
Do. Cleaver. No reading in a home
by one's self could approach to the
fascivation of thisman's rendering of
the story in its vital parts and one
wonders if dramatization wonld make
the least change from Monday night's
description. pi mu the arrest of Jean
Valjean, the poacher, to his death as
Fatter Brebeuf, the voice of forgive-
ness was never missing in the fine
portrayal as one was led along step by
step from the arrest in his 02512 town
to the condemnation at Toulon. All
through the .terrible nineteen years in
the galley you could feel the iron

collapse vlth h' as the second ball
ivas nut
on the other ankle, and the
three more years added to Jean's sen-
tence, until 0115 gasped at the terrible
mounting years of servitude Which
now have reached the ominous figure
-nineteen-all for a loaf of bread.
And so on through the years of'pros-
perity until -his death, with little
Oosette et his side, and the man she
loved, who was having taken away
from him, as all through his life had
been taken, everything that was dear
to - him, the one living thing his
wearied heart coveted. About two
hours were occupied by Dr. Cleaver
but the interest never flagged. Be-
fore the lecturer was introduced
"Nearer my God to Thee" was sung by
Miss Downing accompanied by a band
of girls in white who interpreted this
gland old hymn in motion, Rev., Dr.
Oaten presided. The Epworth League
under whose auspices the lecture was
given deserves credit for being Mattel -
mental in seeming this literary treat.
F proceeds proceeds were about $55.00.
Dr. Cleaver will be welcome back.
