\Ve have felt it in the people's heart, where all great movements growThat day is marching on!
The day when every man on earth shall find l1is fullest power,

The time for us to build on earth the Kingdom of the Lord!
That day is marching on!

I,
March 24. - Probably not more than twenty thousand different persons
in a year have the opportunity to watch the United States Senate in
action and certainly only a few of us at Ford Hall
have ever done this for several cons~cutive 8essions.
Happily, a good substitute for this experience is
now available in the person of Mns. EM11.y·
:MoNTAGUE BISHOP of New York who, having
sat in the Senate Gallery for many days at a time
and having studied afterwards the pages of the
Co11gressional Record, is able, with almost
startling fidelity, to reproduce the Senate and
the Senators right here on our platform. Her performance is the most fascinating com hination of e lements at once entertaining and educational which
has been originated in
twenty years. ~Vort/1
standing· ht lhze /01: !
March JI .-We hope that the old saying,"The
third time never fails," will prove to be true on this
occasion, for this is the third time we have announced that Dn. STANTON CoIT of London would
speak to us on "Am I 1
lry Brother's I{eeper.2"
On both previous occasions pressing personal niatters compelled Dr. Coit's return to England before
the date schedulecl fo•r his lecture here. This
address is well worth waiting for, however. No
less an authority than Professor Zueblin has declared Dr. Coit to be
one of the most brilliant
speakers of our time.
April 7.-JOI-IN GnAI-IAIII BnooKs of Cambridge will speak to us on "The .New Schism in
Socialism." Mr. Brooks has made a special stucly
of Syndicalism both in this country and in Et!rope
,and will very likely interpret to us the Lawrence
Strike in the light of this latest phase of Socialistic
doctrine. Inasmuch as we have · been trying to
make a Ford Hall date with this speaker eyer
since the Meetings opened, £om years ago, it goes
without saying that we regard it as · rather a triumph to secure him at
just this time on this
particular topic.
April 14. -The last meeting of the season!
And fi_ttingly the series closes, as it began, with
the religious note. The speaker will be DEAN
$HAILER MATHEWS of the University of Chicago,
and his topic, "Evolution and Religion." When
Dr. 1v1athews was last here he gave us a fascinating talk on" The Religion of the .kfodern .Afan,"
in the course of which Evolution was briefly
touched upon. So much interest did the audience
evince in this aspect of the Dean's address that we
have ever since been "saving up" the present topic
for him. And now he comes halfway across the
Continent to address us on this alludng subject.

March 24. - Probably not more than twenty thousand different persons
in a year have the opportunity to watch the United States Senate in
action and certainly only a few of us at Ford Hall
have ever done this for several cons~cutive 8essions.
Happily, a good substitute for this experience is
now available in the person of Mns. EM11.y·
:MoNTAGUE BISHOP of New York who, having
sat in the Senate Gallery for many days at a time
and having studied afterwards the pages of the
Co11gressional Record, is able, with almost
startling fidelity, to reproduce the Senate and
the Senators right here on our platform. Her performance is the most fascinating com hination of e lements at once entertaining and educational which
has been originated in
twenty years. ~Vort/1

March JI .-We hope that the old saying,"The
third time never fails," will prove to be true on this
occasion, for this is the third time we have announced that Dn. STANTON CoIT of London would
speak to us on "Am I 1
lry Brother's I{eeper.2"
On both previous occasions pressing personal niatters compelled Dr. Coit's return to England before
the date schedulecl fo•r his lecture here. This
address is well worth waiting for, however. No
less an authority than Professor Zueblin has declared Dr. Coit to be
one of the most brilliant
speakers of our time.
April 7.-JOI-IN GnAI-IAIII BnooKs of Cambridge will speak to us on "The .New Schism in
Socialism." Mr. Brooks has made a special stucly
of Syndicalism both in this country and in Et!rope
,and will very likely interpret to us the Lawrence
Strike in the light of this latest phase of Socialistic
doctrine. Inasmuch as we have · been trying to
make a Ford Hall date with this speaker eyer
since the Meetings opened, £om years ago, it goes
without saying that we regard it as · rather a triumph to secure him at
just this time on this
particular topic.
April 14. -The last meeting of the season!
And fi_ttingly the series closes, as it began, with
the religious note. The speaker will be DEAN
$HAILER MATHEWS of the University of Chicago,
and his topic, "Evolution and Religion." When
Dr. 1v1athews was last here he gave us a fascinating talk on" The Religion of the .kfodern .Afan,"
in the course of which Evolution was briefly
touched upon. So much interest did the audience
evince in this aspect of the Dean's address that we
have ever since been "saving up" the present topic
for him. And now he comes halfway across the
Continent to address us on this alludng subject.
