The Perrine Lectures

THE strongest appeal to the human mind is made by simultaneous impressions through sight and sound. The finest camera today is an eye that sees far better than the human eye, and permanently records all the brilliancy of its every vision for millions of other eyes, hence the marvelous colored photographs of an expert in observation, world traveler and raconteur like Samuel Alden Perrine. As the camera sees better than the eye, so Perrine observes better than you or I. For ten long years Dr. Perrine lived and labored in India, speaking the native languages, suffering unspeakable hardships. His story is a personal one, not at all like ordinary travel talks based on observations from an express train or an hour's visit to so-called points of interest. With his splendid power of description, his pleasing personality, perfect enunciation, adequate voice, keen sense of humor and appreciation of the serious and vital things of life, he takes us farther in an hour and a half, we see more, learn more and really enjoy as much as in weeks of travel among these same actual scenes.

The Perrine Lectures are great addresses, and are often given without projected colored plates, illustrated by his interesting collection of curios. They are gripping, stirring, virile messages from the other continents, but when by means of his splendid projecting apparatus, in the hands of his skilled professional assistant, they are accompanied by a visual reproduction of gorgeous actual color views illustrating his all-absorbing message, the effect is splendidly inspiring, convincing, unusual.

Press and Personal Comment
Dr. J. Madison Hare, Jersey City, N. J.

It is a liberal education to hear Dr. Perrine lecture on India. His views are unsurpassed; the information unique.

Plainfield Daily Press, Plainfield, N. J.
Dr. Perrine has the dramatic instinct and is blessed with a saving sense of humor.

F. M. Devendorf, Sec'y Y. M. C. A., Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

The 637 men who heard you here on January 18th, say it was one of the best things we have had this season.

The Yonkers Statesman, Yonkers, N. Y.
The speaker has a fine fund of humor upon which he draws liberally to the delight of his auditors.

The Madison Avenue League, New York City.
The lecture, 'Under the Roof of the World,' was most unique and vivid. Supplementing the vivid descriptions, the large collection of curios exhibited served to make the lecture most realistic and intersting.

Tribune-Republican, Scranton, Pa.
It abounded in sallies of humor and brilliant flights of descriptive eloquence.

Dr. Gabriel Reid Maguire.

Mr. S. A. Perrine is unquestionably among the most instructive and entertaining lecturers on the American platform. He held his audience from start to finish.

The Philadelphia Record, Philadelphia, Pa.
Particularly thrilling were the pictures shown and the story told of the bloodthirsty savages which were encountered by Dr. Perrine and his wife.

John D. Reid, Sec'y Pana Chautauqua Ass'n.

Dr. S. A. Perrine delivered one of his lectures at our 1914 Assembly with great satisfaction to our audience and ourselves. His knowledge and description of Indian life, habits and customs cannot be surpassed, and his pictures of Indian scenes are par excellent.

Dr. Smith Thomas Ford, Chicago.

The lecture given by Dr. S. A. Perrine on 'The Glories of India' at the Englewood Baptist church was most heartily received. The pictures are unsurpassed by any lecturer. The descriptions of scenes were brilliant. It was not a story told but a life lived. He walked amid surroundings which to him were familiar, and he made them understood by all. One saw the splendors of this ancient civilization, but one also felt the depressing influences of idolatrous religion. It crowded into an hour the experiences of a lifetime.
