To Our Patrons:  It is with pleasure that we announce PROF. THOMAS H. DINSMORE, JR., who needs no introduction to the public.  He has appeared before the leading Lyceum audiences and received calls from all parts of the country, and is widely known as a popular and attractive speaker.  His lectures are marvels of grace and eloquence, and are intensely interesting to all who hear them.  His chemical demonstrations never fail, and his thoughts are expressed in the clearest and choicest terms.  His lecture A Wonderful Structure was delivered in Cincinnati on four lecture courses last season, and one of them was the Unity Course, where it had been presented the preceding year; this being the only lecture that has been repeated in this course during the past twenty-three years.  Prof. Dinsmore filled the entire season and the committees in nearly every instance have made application for a return engagement.



PERSONAL ENDORSEMENTS AND PRESS NOTICES
A Wonderful Structure is a marvelous effort, which would be of great service in colleges and elsewhere.  Prof. Dinsmore has a mission of rare importance.—Rev. John Henry Barrows, D. D., President of Oberlin College.

He makes a scientific lecture have all the interest of a discourse lecture have all the interest of a discourse that is intended merely to please.  For a lecture on a scientific subject, his discourse was the most enjoyable ever heard here.  His chemical experiments and illustrations were very interesting, and his tribute to man and his higher capabilities was very eloquent and uplifting.—

The Prof. Dinsmore lecture at the Opera House on Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the college and high school was very largely attended, and one of the most pleasing as well as instructive entertainments of the course, of which this was the last.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MANAGERS

The promoters and managers of the Richmond Lyceum Course deserve the most sincere thanks of those who were fortunate enough to hear Dr. Thomas H.
