DR. SCHERER IN SPARTANBURG I j i Delivers; Lecture on Gen. Robert E. I Loo?Largo Crowds Hear Him. Dr. J. A. B. Bohorer delivered his leeturo on Robert E. Lee before tho , Y. M. C. A. in Iho new Harris tho| atre Sunday afternoon to tho very largest audience that has ever gathered under one roof in tho city of Spartanibuvfcj, the great music festival not excepted. Every availafble seat in the building was taken, numbers stood up and many more wore turned away. Dr. Seherer is one of Iho most eloquent public speakers in the country, and the mere announcement that m he is to speak or preach is sufficient ra to insure a largo gathering of people. Sunday afternoon the ladies of the city were invited to attend tho men's mooting of the Y. M. C. A. and they I ft accepted the invitation with an ap- F preciation that was shown conclu- ' sively by the great numbers that, filed into the two galleries, which space had been reserved for them and for j the Converse girls, who attended in a body. Ladies Appreciative. Secretary Abbott, by inviting the ladies to the men's meeting, has taken the initiative and set a precedent : that is worthy of special notice. A j j; reporter was speaking with one of \ tho most prominent and public sprit- f \ rd ladies after the meeting Sunday ' * afternoon and she made a statement > that will doubtless voice the senti- | men I. of every right thinking man j * and woman in the city'. In speaking of the ladies being invited to the i0 meeting, she said, "T don't see why some one had not thoug'ht <>l' it be- j fore. If I he management of the Y. j M. (A. would arrange t<> have such >' a meeting at least once a month they j would soon find that the organization \?ould grow in such proportions that \ the building on Magnolia street would be inadequate even for a men's; meeting. Tt is not everybody that can j attend religious service Sunday morning1, and the difficulties are greater for ladies attending* the evening service, but Sunday afternoon the vast majority are free and are longing for some place to go and enpoy a pleasant hour. Have a meeting occasionally to which the ladies are invited and see if the Y. M. C. A. doesn't become the biggest thing in the city." A splendid program was carried i out in connection with the lecture bv Dr. Seherer Sunday afternoon. The music was furnished by a full on lies- j tra and there were vocal and instru-j mental selections that were treats indeed. The trio' by Misses (.'broil/-| berg, Dors I. and Cosset ( and the vio- j lin solo by Dr. Frank C. St. John,) were especially enjoyable. Eloquent Tribute, k Dr. Seherer's address on Robert E. I p \ Lee was one of the most eloquent tri-i Jbutes ever paid to the great soldier. The speaker held the undivided atten^ lion of his magnificent audience by (he influence of his masterly eloquence. He said in part: . "I do not come to you merely to . pay a tribute to that greatest of all ' Americans, Robert E. Lee, for the , world has that already from the lips . of that matchelss soldier, Ben Hill, > who in at) address before the Southern Historical Society in Atlanta some years ago, of his mighty . leader: "When the future historian shall, ' 1 ^ come to survey the character of Leo, 1 J'f lie will find it rising like a huge } mountain above the undulating plain ( of humanity, and he must lift his eyes high toward heaven to catch its summit. He possessed every virtue of other great commanders without the vices. He was a foe without hale; a friend without treachery; a victor without oppression; and a victim without murmuring. He was a public officer without vices; a private citizen without reproach; a Christian w i' !..? *' hypocrisy; and a man with-I out guile; I'Yederick, without his tyranny; Napoleon without his selfishness; and Wellington without his reward. He was obedient to tho authonitj as a servant, and royal as a true king, lie was genuine, as a Roman vestal in duly: submissive to law as Socrates; and grand in battle as A chiles. u "I come to you as a ieacher concerned in the training of youth, and to hold up to you 'as a model the great I .ee, who followed so closely! a tin* Master of us all. and exemplified i ? in his line the truili. that the bravest ! are the best and tho loving arc the' tenderest.
