THEY SAY
Doylestown, Pa., Intelligencer (Reporting Lectures at Teachers Institute)—Mr. Lane is a very rapid and forceful speaker, and it is well nigh impossible to do justice to the rich flow of eloquence which streams like pure water from the fountain of his thought, while he is illustrating in a magical way deep truths.  His keen observation and careful study of human nature leads him to present these truths so attractively to his listeners that they are fairly convulsed with laughter, yet at the same time are drinking in wholesome lessons of purity, simplicity, sincerity and whole-souled Christianity.

Mt. Vernon, Ill.—Mr. Lane kept everyone on tip toe in expectation of what was to come next, and an air of mystery pervaded the lecture.  He has a pleasing delivery and easily makes himself heard.  He is both a lecturer and magician and is a success at both.  He is an excellent entertainer, and without appearing to preach or moralize, he has the faculty of impressing truth on his audience.

Historical Society—Mr. Lane's methods of illustrating the common everyday sayings, his interpretation of the vital truths so frequently unheeded in this strenuous age are original, and through their unique presentation find lodgement in the consciousness steeled against the commonplace.  The lecture is calculated to entertain, instruct and delight an audience—FRANK D. ANDREWS, Sect'y., Vineland, N. J.


Daily Press, Burlington, N. J.
—The Lecture was of a very unusual type, altho serious and earnest in its import was not delivered in a dry uninteresting manner, on the contrary Mr. Lane more than once during the evening called forth hearty laughter by his bright stories and magical effects.

Rev. A. D. Hilton, Moorestown, N. J.—Your Lecture, Fabled Facts, is both original and unique.  Our people greatly enjoyed it and are all agreed that it is one of the best they ever heard.

Webster City, Iowa—
He has a line of work that no other lecture has.  A most popular attraction.  Lane's lecture was worth coming miles to hear.—
“The Journal.”


New York City—
He uses the art of magic, paper tearing and other objective illustrations to present the great truths.  He gets and holds the attention to the end—
“Christian Herald.”



George H. Sandison, D. D. Editor “Christian Herald,” New York City
—Your excellent talk at Mont Lawn was just the kind that makes an impression on an audience.

Ward W. Adair, Sec'y Railroad Branch Y. M. C. A., New York City—Among the pleasant memories of the summer is the helpful and unique way in which you have presented the message.  It was at once dignified, original and helpful.

Packard College, New York City—He is a man with an idea; he talks because he has something to say.  Captivates his audience from the start, while his apparently inexhaustible fund of unique and surprising illustrations holds his audience spellbound to the end—GLEN ARNOLD GROVE, A. M.

J. M. Rice, Sec'y. P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. New York City—Both your addresses were practical, pointed, helpful presentations of the truth, and your original method of illustrating your talks make them doubly effective

Fayetteville, Ark.—Frank B. Lane caught the audience with his opening words and would have held it without his experiments, so witty, earnest and philosophical were his ideas.  There was not a dull moment

Sedalia, Mo.—
You cannot say too many good things about Lane—
“Daily Capital.”


Urbana, Ill.—
His sleight of hand was especially good.  There was a weirdness about his manifestations and discourse that was positively fascinating.  He is one of the most unusual lecturers ever heard at the Twin City Chautauqua—
“Courier Herald.”


Rev. C. H. Woolston, D. D., Pastor East Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pa.—Author of Seeing Truth— By his wonderful object lessons he catches the eye, and by his forceful presentation of the Truth he captures the heart.  He is the best of his school and a wonder in his class.

Clinton, Mo.—You certainly had a good message and gave it in such a way that it could not fail to make the proper impression, and in addition to being entertaining, I am sure it will be an uplift and bring good results in the community.—C. W. SNIDER, Cashier Clinton National Bank.

Millville, N. J.—
Mr. Lane is also gifted with the art of telling delightful stories, those about Brahm Allah Ben, Don Keota Castaine and the aged couple by the fireside were simply fine.—
“Republican.”


Vineland, N. J.—
As an entertainer he has few equals.  He has the happy faculty of clinching his points with a humorous saying, and in this way impresses the truths.—
“Journal.”


Remington, Ind.—He is a magician of unusual skill and weaves around his legerdemain a philosophy subtle and helpful, lighted up at short intervals with sharp flashes of wit.  He surely furnishes something worth while—H. RANDEL LOOKABILL, B. A., M. A., Pastor of the Christian Church.

Dixon, Ill.—
The large audience, both young and old were gradually led upward and onward until an exalted plane was reached where the atmosphere was exhilerating.—
“Evening Teleqraph.”
