Interpreter and Demonstrator
The Twenty Third Psalm.  A unique and delightful innovation in Lyceum circles is the interpretation, by Julius Caesar Nayphe, of the best known of all gems of scripture, the twenty-third psalm.  Attired in the costume of the Oriental shepherd, he looks the part.  Himself a product of Palestine he is imbued with the spirit of the great classic.  He removes the mystery of the psalm, and reduces to a beautiful simplicity this far famed outburst of Israel's sweet singer.  It is not a religious lecture; but an entertaining treatise with religious setting.

Wonders of the Orient.  In this lecture Nayphe appears in Oriental costume, of great beauty, and delivers a marvelously clever and interest-compelling treatise on the customs, manners, and life of the people of his native land.  The lecture grips the attention and is rich in information as well as entertainment.

America.  It was in America that Nayphe first learned the story of freedom.  He cannot say enough in praise of our country.  He says America is where he first learned that living is worth while.  This lecture is an eloquent tribute to the glory of our systems and a searching study of our manner of life.  In all his lectures Nayphe is superb.

Julius Caesar Nayphe
Julius Caesar Nayphe — is it not a peculiar name?  It smacks of the years buried with the ruins of antiquity.  But it is just the name of a brilliant young man who has emerged from ancient mystery and who has a delightful message for this generation.

Born in Athens, the ancient seat of culture, reared in Palestine at Caesarea Philippi, he has both the blood and the temperament of the far East, its life and its learning.

Nayphe is a royal entertainer.  He has a musical voice of great richness and power, and his platform presence is dignified and of fine poise.  He is one of the most graceful of men, and has a splendid mastery of our language.

He appears upon the platform in the native costumes of his people.  These are both beautiful and interesting.  His lecture-entertainments bristle with new and strange material, utterly different from all others.  Nayphe fills his own place on the platform.  He has no competitors.

Of fine education, of Christian faith and culture, and a thorough American from choice, Nayphe fits exactly into the needs of the Lyceum where the best is desired.
