DECEMBER 4.
Drr. ALBERT SuoEKUM, a member of ·the
German Reich stag, will speak' on "7 he Social 1ltfovement i'n Germany."
·
Dr. Sudekum, who is in this country for
a brief period only, has had a most interesting ·c areer. For several years he was
the youngest memher of the Parliament in
his native land, and he now sits on the
Opposition benches as one of the leaders
of the social democratic party. His constituency is the ·old medieval town of
Nuremberg in Bavaria, and his specialty
matters connected ,vith state finance and
the commercial and political welfare of
municipalities. · His otily discussion in
Boston of Germany's progress in a social
way will be on the Ford Hall platform,
where his exposition of his country's awakening to social and sodalistic.
activity should prove ·very interesting . .

DECEMBER 11. DR. LYMAN · ABBOTT, editor-in-chief of the
Outlook, will speak on " r
,Vhy I Believe in Immortali'ty." Ever since
the Ford Hall Meetings started we have
been trying to arrange a date here for
Dr. Abbott, but it is only this year that
we have succeeded. When it came to
the matter of settling upon a topic .D r.
Abbott suggested that_ he talk on a distinctly religious theme, inasmu~h as it has
been his experience at Cooper Union,where he speaks every winter,-that such
addresses aw~ ken very great interest in
'
an audience like ours. When- asked to
. . :. '.
~~
suggest some books on his subject _ he
. '
named the series of Ingersoll Lectures on
.,. ·:· _-_
~
Immortality; "Life After Death," by
,
Fechne_ "Life Everlasting," by John· Fiske; and "Modern Belief In
r;
Immortality," by Newman Smyth. Those who have lost their grasp
on immortality as a great truth of religion may be interested in the
above-named a pp roaches to · it from . the scholar's and the scientist's
standpoint.
