DOCTOR TAYLOR is essentially a world traveler, having completed 1,500,000 miles of journeying and observed the life and customs of strange peoples the world around.  On a recent visit to Mexico he was captured by bandits and held for ransom.  He was a prisoner of a savage chief in South America, and the guest of honor of head hunters in Borneo.

He is spoken of as a wizard in facts and figures.  They are woven into every lecture with his inimical wit and thrilling incidents of travel, His vivid descriptions and rare humor grip his hearers and command the attention of old and young.

Andrew H. Phelps, Field Manager, Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, Washington, D. C. says: Give my name to representative Chambers of Commerce throughout the United States.  I shall be very glad to respond to any inquiries, giving them the benefit of my intimate knowledge of your ability to put over a big message in a big way.


Dr. James M. Taylor combined the logic and finish of a Bryan with the wit of an Elbert Hubbard, and the picturesque presentation of a Henry Woodfin Grady.—
Daily Sentinel.


Dr. Taylor has even outdone the exploited explorer.  He has been numerous times where the feet of white men are said to have never trod.  He considers his adventures in the interior of South America the most varied, exciting and unique of any of his experiences—except possibly among the head hunting tribes of Borneo.—
The Knoxville Sentinel.

Dr. Taylor spent a busy day with us yesterday, speaking at the Rotary Club at noon, the High School at 2:50, the women at 3:45 and a mass meeting of about 600 in the evening.  The Utica Press speaks of his address to the Rotary as the most wonderful address ever given in the city.  Teachers in the High School declare his address to the students was worth a week's schooling to them.  No speaker of recent years has made such an impression on our church and city.  The secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who heard the Rotary address, called me on the phone this morning and asked if it could not be arranged for Dr. Taylor to return for a Sunday engagement.  The Y would be glad to arrange for a great theater meeting.  Wise pastors should do their utmost in advertising Dr. Taylor.  It will pay them large dividends in missionary enthusiasm in their church.—Frederick A. Miller, Pastor First Methodist Episcopal Church, Rome, New York.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY, Syracuse, N. Y.
Dr. James M. Taylor delivered his lecture on the natural resources of Mexico before the Freshmen Convocation, at Syracuse University, Thursday morning, November 4th.

Dr. Taylor met with a very enthusiastic reception from the students and also from the members of the faculty who heard him.  He left a very vivid impression of present conditions in Mexico, both as to its resources and also as to the condition of the people, and impressed upon his hearers the fact that not intervention but missionary and educational work there was necessary in that Republic.  He was unanimously requested to return at some future date to deliver another address.

HENRY A. PECK, Dean.

JAMES R. DAY, Chancellor.



OHIO WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY, Delaware, Ohio.
Dr. Taylor made a fine impression at Ohio Wesleyan.  He held the students with perfect ease.  He is a master on the platform.  His command of English, his vivid descriptive powers, the play of a fine spiritual personality through his message, all make this a man of real persuasiveness on the platform.  He did a good piece of work for us.  We can commend him most highly in every respect.

JOHN W. HOFFMAN, President.



CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Mills Building, Washington, D. C.
How much I enjoyed your splendid address at the Chamber of Commerce meeting at Saratoga Springs!

You have a great message, born of your varied experience in Mexico, for the people of the United States, and you deliver it most effectively.

I wish that every American citizen might have the privilege of hearing your voice on the Mexican situation.

F. W. SIMMONDS, Field Secretary.



KELSO LAUNDRY COMPANY
It was my privilege to hear Dr. James M. Taylor at the weekly meeting of the Rotary Club at Powers Hotel this week on Tuesday, on Mexico, and its conditions.  We have some of the best speakers obtainable, but Dr. Taylor simply took the men by storm, never lost a word, filled with enthusiasm, figures and wit, a fluent speaker, he surely can deliver the goods.

J. E. KELSO.



CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Mills Building, Washington, D. C.
The lecture on The Natural Resources of Mexico, which Dr. James M. Taylor delivered to a capacity audience, was the most interesting one on Mexico I have ever heard.  His information seemed so boundless, his knowledge of conditions so exact, and his analysis so logical that the deep impression made upon his hearers will remain.

In the midst of so much propaganda and misinformation concerning our neighbor to the south it was refreshing to hear one speak from so wide an acquaintance with the actual situation as Dr. Taylor.

I hope Dr. Taylor may have the widest possible hearing in America.

W. ESPEY ALBIG, Field Secretary.

DUNKIRK LAUNDRY COMPANY, Dunkirk, New York.
I have not the command of words to fully express to you the pleasure and interesting information I received while listening to Dr. James M. Taylor deliver a short lecture before the Rochester Rotary Club a week ago last Monday, on Mexico.  It was one of the most interesting lectures I have ever listened to.

The Doctor is a forceful, rapid, magnetic speaker and his description of conditions in Mexico and the importance at this time of our relations with that government is information that every American citizen should have and Dr. Taylor's ability in giving that information in a few words of understanding and comprehension is wonderful.  I consider it important that as many of our citizens as can should hear Dr. Taylor lecture on Mexico, and to this end, I am going to try and get our local people to have a public meeting with Dr. Taylor as speaker.

A. W. CUMMINGS, President.



WEST HIGH SCHOOL, Rochester, New York.
Dr. James M. Taylor addressed our school assembly last Thursday morning.  We found his address exceedingly interesting and full of information concerning the lands and peoples of South America.  Dr. Taylor speaks with great vigor and fluency, and it need not be said that with his vast extent of traveling he is most capable of bringing to his hearers the results of his wide experience and knowledge.

WILLIAM M. BENNETT, Principal.



THE POST STANDARD, Syracuse, New York.
Sixteen hundred students of Syracuse University were given a graphic picture of conditions in Mexico by Rev. Dr. James M. Taylor of New York, who, at the invitation of Chancellor Day delivered an address in the Agricultural building Thursday afternoon.  Dr. Taylor is a world traveler and lecturer for the cause of evangelism and recently was held for ransom after having been kidnapped by Mexican bandits.



BOARD OF EDUCATION, TROY, N. Y. Arvie Eldred, Superintendent of Schools.
Dr. James M. Taylor spoke before the Troy Rotary Club a short time ago and gave an excellent talk on conditions in Mexico.  Dr. Taylor is a traveler with wide experience, and his address proved to us that he is a keen observer.

I recommend Dr. Taylor to any Rotary Club that wants an inspirational, as well as instructive talk.

ARVIE ELDRED, President, Troy Rotary Club.



CENTRAL NEW YORK CONFERENCE, Elmira District.
Dr. Taylor did us much good.  We were proud of him at the Kiwanis Club luncheon.  First Church was packed in the evening.  Our people continue to talk about him.
