Rev. Frank L. Loveland
IS widely known in the west as a pupil and platform orator of the first rank.  For ten years he has been in constant demand for lectures and addresses by patriotic, popular, fraternal and religious societies.  A recognized leader among the young people of Iowa, he has served as President of the Iowa Epworth League, and at present is one of the managers of the Iowa Epworth League Assembly and Training School and Editor of the Iowa Epworth Leaguer.  In Fraternal Circles he is a prominent figure, and prominent Frater.



A FEW PERSONALS
It affords me great pleasure to say that Rev. Frank Loveland is an entertaining and instructive lecturer.  His lecture at our Chautauqua struck a popular chord and the people were very much pleased with it.  We should be pleased to have him return to us again.

O. O. SMITH, President Little Sioux Chautauqua.

I have heard Rev. Frank L. Loveland on different occasions and regard him as an excellent speaker.  He is very forceful and commanding in his utterances; always makes a subject interesting.  He is witty, vivacious and entertaining.  The thought and sentiment of his lectures are elevating.  He will give satisfaction to our Epworth Leagues and public audiences.

THOMAS NICHOLSON, Professor in Cornell College.

MT. VERNON, IOWA.

For genuine pathos, telling oratory and sparkling humor, it would be difficult to excel Rev. Frank L. Loveland's lectures.  The churches, young people's societies, and Young Men's Christian Associations that are looking for something that is up-to-date and for which the people will surely ask again, should secure Loveland at once.

J. W. MAHOOD, Supt. Iowa Epworth League Assembly.

Ten Days in Dixie by Rev. Frank L. Loveland was truly a wonderful description of Mammoth Cave and the battle fields in Dixie Land.  Mr. Loveland held his audience for over two hours with his wit and humor.  Everybody was highly gratified, entertained and profited, and whenever he returns here we are sure of a full house.

P. R. SMITH, Manager Lecture Club.

Mr. Loveland is essentially popular in his method of presentation, abundance of clean humor and delivery; while valuable, rememberable thoughts are not absent.  Compliments of his work do not cease with his leaving the city.  We want him again.

ERNEST VERNON CLAYPOOL, Pastor M. E. Church.

Rev. Frank L. Loveland delivered his lecture, The Modern Boy, before the Bremer County Normal Institute last season, to the delight and enthusiastic appreciation of every teacher.  Rev. Loveland is not overdrawn one whit by the Avon Dramatist who describes the great orator as having wit, words and worth; action and utterance, and the power of speech to stir men's blood.  I rank Mr. Loveland among the best of character-building lecturers and have engaged him again for next season.

P. MONROE SMOCK, Co. Supt. of Schools, Bremer county, Iowa.

Dear Brother Loveland:—It gives me great pleasure to make an effort to try and express my appreciation for you and your ability on the lecture platform.

As a pastor I have been on the lookout to secure for my people a class of entertainments that would provide the proper qualities of helpfulness, amusement and real worth and in the numerous courses that I have helped my young people to arrange we have had Rev. Frank L. Loveland for seven different dates and each time he drew a large house and pleased the people.  As a popular lecturer I consider him the equal of any man in Iowa.

Yours fraternally,
E. T. GRUWELL, Sec'y Iowa State Epworth League.




Unwise it is to boast if grim defeat has found you; Unnecessary is the boast if glad success has crowned you.

YET PEOPLE LIKE TO KNOW
What the Papers Say.



A POLISHED ORATOR.


All were loud in their praises of the lecture by Rev. Frank L. Loveland.  He is certainly one of the brainiest and most polished orators in Iowa.—
Armstrong Journal.

A GREAT LECTURE.


It was a great lecture—full of bright thought, happy expressions, eloquent appeals and passionate convictions.  Rev. Loveland won the enthusiastic admiration of the entire assembly.—
Leaf River Mirror.

A BRILLIANT ADDRESS.


Rev. Frank L. Loveland delivered the most brilliant address ever heard in Benton county upon an occasion of this kind.  His word pictures cannot be surpassed.  Everybody who heard it pronounce it a great address.—
Shellburg Call.

EXCEPTIONALLY FINE.


His description of the southern battle-fields and the Mammoth Cave were exceptionally fine and the audience were surprised at the close to find they had listened for two hours and there was a general expression of regret that they could not have more.  Should he ever come to Oelwein again, he will be sure of a large audience.—
Oelwein Journal.

REPLETE WITH GOOD THINGS.


The mayor introduced the speaker, Rev. Frank L. Loveland, who delivered one of the finest lectures ever heard in the Opera House.  It was replete with good things.  We regret that we cannot give it to our readers in full.—
Belmond, Iowa Valley Press.

ENNOBLING THOUGHTS.


A large crowd was out to hear Rev. Loveland's lecture—'The Follies of Fogyism.'  It was a great lecture full of ennobling thoughts that are inspiring to an audience.  As an orator the gentleman certainly ranks high.—
Peterson Patriot.

A DECIDED TREAT.


The Union Veteran's Union gave their friends a decided treat through Rev. Frank Loveland last Thursday night.  The subject of his lecture was Ten Days in Dixie and through the Mammoth Cave.  The lecture is largely descriptive in its charactor and shows the speaker took full advantage of his opportunities.  The audience was large and gave the speaker close attention.  That part relating to Mammoth Cave was especially appreciated.  Mr. Loveland has especial talent for the lecture rostrum and he is receiving frequent calls.—
Vinton Eagle.

GREATLY PLEASED.


The students and townspeople were highly instructed and greatly pleased with the sermon and lecture of Rev. Frank Loveland on last Sunday.  Rev. Loveland is pastor of the M. E. Church at Vinton, Iowa, and is a strong man both as a preacher and platform orator.  His fine voice, splendid personality, and impressive manner drives the truths of his messages home to his hearers with force.  In the morning he moved his audience to tears by his eloquent pathos, while in the evening the humorous side of his nature had the opposite effect.  The evening lecture was on 'The Follies of Fogyism' and was masterly treated.  We count it one of the best of the college series and was well attended, which shows a due appreciation of Rev. Loveland's services as well as the privileges we as students enjoy.—
Mt. Vernon Remarker.

FULFILLED THE PROMISES.


The Congregational Church was opened for the lecture before the institute, delivered Tuesday evening by the Rev. Frank Loveland, of Vinton.  The auditorium was well filled.  The people were responsive.  Mr. Loveland fulfilled the promises made by the superintendent.  Mr. Loveland's address was vigorous, humorous, pathetic and descriptive.  These elements, however, were used to illustrate and enforce clear and valuable ideas.  The value and training of 'The Modern Boy,' furnished adequate theme.  The lecture was listened to closely, and deserved the hearty applause it received.  Mr. Loveland's fine physique, musical voice and smiling face are exceedingly prepossessing.—
Waverly Republican.

A SATISFIED AUDIENCE.


Rev. Frank L. Loveland's lecture at the M. E. Church Tuesday night was a fine effort and the worthy gentleman's many admirers were more than satisfied.  All were pleased with it and there is a general desire to hear him repeat the lecture here at some future time.—
Clinton Herald.

HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL.


The Journal has heard nothing but words of highest commendation for the lecture Thursday evening by Rev. Frank L. Loveland in the Harvest Home course.  His subject, 'The Follies of Fogyism' was one which permitted him plenty of latitude in applying his ideas and he improved it.  His statements were sometimes startling but nevertheless true and went straight to the mark.  Rev. Loveland is easily among the best lecturers ever heard in Hedrick and the Journal hopes to hear him again.—
Hedrick Journal.


MAY FESTIVAL COURSE.


His subject gave him a fine opportunity, and that he was equal to it is not too much to say, judging from what all say who were fortunate enough to hear him.  For nearly two hours he held the closest attention of his appreciative audience.—
Sigourney News.

AUTUMN FESTIVAL.


Mr. Loveland had been announced as a most attractive speaker and it is only fair to say that he more than met the expectations which his admirers had aroused.  The lecture was a happy combination of rich wit, deep pathos and genuine thought.
Mr. Loveland left his audience in a frame of mind that was the best evidence of his ability to please and enlighten, and the united testimony was one of pleasure to have heard the able discussion of fogyism which he gave.  Mr. Loveland's style of oratory is original and striking but most pleasant indeed.—

Webster City Tribune.

BOTH CHARMS AND CONVINCES.


One of those rare intellectual treats, which, unfortunately, do not come often in a lifetime, was afforded the citizens of Wayne last Thursday night in the lecture of Dr. Loveland.  The Doctor's theme was 'The Follies of Fogyism,' and in the graceful introduction, the thrilling climaxes, or the smoothly rippling peroration, he held his audience in the most rapt attention.  Dr. Loveland is generously endowed with all the graces of the lecturer's art, and he has learned to touch all the strings of human emotion.  But best of all is his rich simplicity of manner and expression, which both charms and convinces.—
Wayne, Nebraska, Republican.

ALL NIGHT.


Rev. Mr. Loveland held the closest attention of his hearers for an hour and a halt, and some were heard to remark that they could have listened to such talk as is all night.  It is utterly impossible to report any part of his lecture without injustice to the orator.  The personal appearance, voice, gestures and facial expressions of the great orator had much to do with his words, well-rounded sentences and grand climaxes.  His thought is of a high order, his language smooth and elegant, his illustrations are apt and he understands perfectly when it is the proper time to use his spice box and give his hearers an opportunity to laugh.—
Miles Reporter.

A VIVID PORTRAYAL.


He handled his subject in an eloquent style that commanded the closest attention from the adult down to the smallest child in the house.  His description of the southern battle fields was so vividly portrayed by him that many an old soldier seemed to live over again that awful time when so many of our brave boys fell to rise no more.  So vividly was everything portrayed as he took us on the long journey that time seemed to stand still and the audience sat there, not realizing that the lecturer had spoken to us for nearly two hours.—
Oelwein Register.

G. A. R. JUBILANT.


The speech of Mr. Loveland Yesterday is said to have been one of the best ever delivered in Mount Carroll.  The old soldiers are wild over it, characterizing it as an American speech on Americanism by an American.  It thrilled with patriotism, was logical, up-to-date and delivered by a born orator.  The Democrat was unable to be present, but from reports we are safe in saying it was excellent.  In order to secure Mr. Loveland the Post had to engage him last January.—
Mt. Carroll Democrat.

REACHED THE SHOUTING POINT.


His address aroused the enthusiam of the immense audience to the cheering and the shouting point.  Though the people had sat then for about an hour and a half, they forgot any physical weariness and listened with bated breath to every word the magnetic speaker uttered.  At times the enthusiasm was so great that the speaker could but stop and wait until quiet could again be restored.  Impassioned, his heart aglow with his theme, his voice orotund but musical, his every feature and muscle also speaking, there have been few orators in times past who have touched the popular fancy as did Mr. Loveland.—
Waterloo Courier.

LAUGHTER AND TEARS.


The long looked for lecture was delivered by Rev. Frank L. Loveland, and it will be many long years before the people of Olin will hear as interesting an address again.  The speaker's very soul seemed to be filled to overflowing.  At times he would burst forth with emotion, causing tears to flow down the cheeks of many of his good listeners and in the next moment wit and humor would flow from his lips, causing the tears of sorrow to be brushed away to be superseded by laughter and we are assured that all who heard him were inspired with a greater feeling of patriotism and loyalty.—
Olin Recorder.
