Mr. Spinx was heard by one of the largest audiences which has gathered at the Rex during this series of lecture* and every man pres? ent was more than repaid for his at? tendance. A feature of interest no? ticeable was the number of men from -town who were present to hear the address, a fact which had not pre - viaualy been noticable, although each Sunday there had been a few man from outside of the city In attendance. Next Sunday Judge Mendel M.

"First, because he was most heartily in sympathy with the work the aaso 1 elation was doing, for the fact was shown by the large crowd present; ? second, becauae It was always a pleas? ure to speak to men, and thirdly, be? cause he wanted to tell the men of the "Real Old Glory.'* He referred to the fact that he had spent fifteen years of his life under the flag of Great Britain, then fifteen more years under the flag of her daughter Canada, and then he had come to the United States, which in many respects was tho greatest coun? try In the world, and he hoped to live and die under the stars and stripes, although, he stated, he hod not yet become a naturalised citizen.

Ho showed that It was not the man who exerted force, who was the great re? former, but the man who taught tho religion of love, as brought into the world by Jesus Christ, the greateat of teachers. He therefore pointed out the fact that Christianity. Christ in the lives of men, which was the "Real Old Glory." A particularly pleasing feature of the meeting was the singing by Mr. Spinx at the close of his lecture of "My Mothor'a Hlbl " Next Sunday there will be one or more female so to??ta at the meeting.
