IRELAND AND THE IRISH, The Lecture given by Rev: R. Fui- te,n Irwin in the Methodist church on Friday evening was a rare treat to the. large audience that assembled to hear this versatile speaker. Mr. F. S. Savauge filled the chair with abiljty. Before the lecture began, Afisc Asman gave a 'violin solo. It was Miss Asntan's first appearance in Seaforth and needless to say the public wiL1 welcome her again. Mr- Erwin began by saying he was barn in Ireland, adding that it was not bis fault. But so enthusiastic did he become in his subject, that before t his lecture ended, his audience felt he might have added as another Trish- ; man did"that if he had not been born in Ireland, he would he ashamed of t himself-" The speaker said the, history of 1r,:- p land dated earlier. than any of the p countries of Europe, to 1300 B.C., a which would be about the time 're- t corded in the Bible when Gideon de- n stroyed the Midianites, '.Che sizeof h Ireland was 300 miles long by 170 c miles wide; and 109 Irelands could be e made from the area of Canada. The a climate was moderate and sleighs t were never seen there. There is so e much salt in the atmosphere that a cattle were never salted, it Mr. Irwin gave legends ts, acconut p for the green verdure of the country, fi and in a racy way, described the con s struction of the Giant's Causeway to h enable a Scotch king to reach Ireland d to fight an Irish monarch. C The history of the troubles of the country, and its quarrels were related, in Mr Irwin t5n at atcd that England1• had st oppressed Ireland, n fact, it t had received better terms than the ac English or 'Scotch. Landlordism was to the curse of the country and produc- air ed the Land League agitation, which divided the *populace.. H Irish humor was .described by the as speaker, who said the strange thing was that the Irishman seldom saw his otyn humor and often was humor- acs when angry. The life of St. Pat- w rick was also referred to. 'Che speaker was not certain that the troubles of Ireland were yet set - tied,. and predicted that England would again have to take control to save .the country, • Mr. Ed. Bright, always a favorite in Seaforth, gave a solo in splendid voice, A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. • Irwin on motion of Mr, Wrn Bleck, M.P., seconded by Rev. Dr. Larkin.
