List of Lectures

Abraham Lincoln
BOSTON, November 9, 1897.

Lady Henry Somerset and I had the good fortune to listen to the address of REV. S. PARKES CADMAN at Chautauqua on Grand Army Day.  His subject was Abraham Lincoln, and we thought that the mental acumen and moral earnestness manifested in the composition of the oration, combined with the vigor and adequacy of its delivery, made it a unique contribution to the literature and presentation of a subject which has been delt with by so many able pens.  The success of this young minister in handling his theme was to us something equally surprising and gratifying.  I feel that wherever this address is delivered it will help to make those who hear it nobler and more earnest to do good, and build up in our country through custom and law a higher standard of character and of achievement.

FRANCES E. WILLARD.



The Puritan in England and America
YONKERS, October 25, 1894.

My Dear Brother Cadman—Let me express to you the great delight I felt in listening to your lecture on the Puritans.  I have given years of study to the subject, with ever deepening interest in the events of the period that led to the colonization of our country.  Your lecture was grandly eloquent.  I hope you may be called to deliver it in many places.

Yours fraternally,
DAVID COLE.



Life in London
HACKETTSTOWN, N. J., January 29, 1897.

The first few sentences of the REV. S. PARKES CADMAN'S lecture on Life in London won interest, which soon grew into an enthusiasm that was maintained to the very close, breaking forth in round after round of the most hearty applause.  Rich in its tone and love of literary research, enlivened with wit and humor, embellished with fine rhetoric, delivered with force and fire, MR. CADMAN'S lecture is a truly great and justly popular lecture.

WILBERT P. FERGUSON, President Hackettstown College.



Robert Burns
MR. CADMAN'S oration was a masterly production.  It left the beaten track trod by the generality of Burns orators.  It showed much original thought; it abounded in profound philosophy, and it gave a true idea of Burns, such as is seldom given by any person.

DR. CADMAN'S lecture was full of wit and the audience was kept in a continual state of laughter all the evening, and their appreciation was shown by the hearty applause that greeted his remarks.  It was one of the most interesting evenings ever spent with a lecturer.

The event of the evening was the lecture on Abraham Lincoln, by REV. SAMUEL PARKES CADMAN, of Yonkers, N. Y.
No description could do justice to the graphic description, fine eloquence and splendid oratory of the speaker.

Pa. Methodist, Harrisburg, Pa.


DR. CADMAN delivered in the most entertaining manner his brilliant lecture on Abraham Lincoln.  With such an enthusiastic assemblage, crowding every inch of space, DR. CADMAN must have departed from Tyrone with no diminished appreciation of the spirit of patriotism in the Keystone State, famous for its Gettysburg.
New York Christian Advocate.


The lecture in the Methodist Church on Tuesday evening by REV. SAMUEL PARKES CADMAN was one of the very best.  For an hour and forty-five minutes he held his audience enraptured with his Life in London.  This lecture abounded in flashes of wit, exquisite imagery, and with a play of humor that was irresistible at times in provoking shouts of laughter.
Highland Falls (N. Y.) Journal.


Last evening in the First Methodist Episcopal Church a large audience listened to a most able lecture by the REV. S. PARKES CADMAN.  It was given under the auspices of the Sunday School.  His subject was The Puritans in England and America.  He gave a brilliant resume of the work of the noble band of patriots in the formation of this Republic, showing conclusively that much was due them for the glorious liberty we now enjoy.

Personal Letters
MR. CADMAN'S Lecture on Abraham Lincoln excels Col. Ingersoll's famous deliverance on the same subject.

WALLACE BRUCE, Ex-Consul to Edinburgh.

It surprised me to hear such an estimate from so young a man.  In matter and manner the effort was admirable.

THOMAS EWING, Ex-Senator.

In grace of diction, keenness of analysis and breadth of conception, MR. CADMAN'S lectures are masterpieces.

J. O. WILSON, Pastor St. Andrew's Church, New York.

It was most interesting to listen to your tribute.  For the pleasure it gave us accept my warmest thanks.

JOHN L. PARSONS, New York State Bar Association.

REV. S. P. CADMAN'S lecture on Lincoln, despite the intense and oppressive heat of the famous hot wave, held throughout the attention of the assembled thousands, and thrilled them again and again with its brilliant periods.

J. E. PRICE. Dean of Ocean Grove Summer School.

I have heard REV. S. PARKES CADMAN lecture on Abraham Lincoln.  It is a lecture of thrilling interest and full of patriotic fervor.  Lecture Bureaus, Epworth Leagues and churches employing DR. CADMAN to lecture for them will be more than satisfied.

C. C. McCABE, Bishop of the M. E. Church.

I say to all the world that in my judgment DR. CADMAN'S lecture on Abraham Lincoln is the best I have ever heard, and I have heard many, upon that great man.  I doubt if there is anything in the literature of that subject that can equal it, and when delivered with his superb voice and magnetic power, it becomes one of the greatest oratorical treats on the American platform.

MATT. H. ELLIS, Judge Advocate General, G. A. R.

My Dear Sir: I am glad to hear through your favor of the 2d, that you propose to enter more generally the lecture field.  You have appeared here twice within the past year, and we shall have you frequently hereafter, because the students were really delighted with what you gave them.  I am sure a general audience would appreciate you equally as much, because your lectures are of a really high character, bright, entertaining, instructive and thoroughly helpful from every point of view.

C. C. GAINES, President Eastman Business College.
