Rev. Clarence True Wilson lectured
at the M. 1 Church 1:1 this city Inst
Mom' ; evening to an au lience limited
lo the .ip.icity of the room. His subject
was ''Old Siiws llrokeii," nn I he handled
it in a very able manner, lie presented,
however, but one tide of the subject,
secmiug to think nothing but evil cornea
from the old maxims that have borne
rejietitiou for centuries, and he accredit
ed lo Shakespeare personally the senti
ments the poet puts into the mouths of
his characters. What a great combina
tion of vice and virtue such a men till pro-
cesa would produce. His anecdotes were
short and snnppy and he held the strict
attcntiou of his audiance to the close.
"Old Saws Broken" is well worth hear
ing, and when its parts are strung to
Kcthrr in a little better order it will
achieve excellence.
