AN APPRECIATION
MEMORIAL DAY. PARIS, ILLINOIS.
But the great treat of the afternoon was the address by Rev. L. E. Brown of Lebanon, Ind. It is impossible to put on paper the spirit of the discourse. The words can be printed, but they lack life and it was this clear, ringing, patriotic, in¬spiring life that made it so full of force and power. Mr. Brown has a pleasing address and from the first he won the hearts and attention of his hearers.
—Daily Gazette.
Rev. L. E. Brown lectured in the Christian church Thursday night on the sub¬ject of "Uncle Sam" to a large audience, the church being filled to its capacity, notwithstanding the show given by the High School students, the Nickelodeon, the Vaudeville and the theatre in the tent, to say nothing of the band concert. A man who can win an audience in a town of this size against so much competition has something to say that the people want to hear, and his magnificent address during the Memorial exercises at the cemetery whetted the appetites of the people for an¬other lecture from the same source. And Rev. L. £. Brown did not disappoint them. He is an excellent speaker, has a fine voice and good delivery, and, best of all, has something to say worth hearing. The people of Paris are so well pleased with Rev. Brown's address that they will be pleased to hear him again at some future date. —Daily Beacon.

GARDEN OF THE GODS CHAUTAUQUA The lecture given by Rev. L. E. Brown at the Garden of the Gods Assembly last season was enthusiastically received, and pronounced by competent critics the best of the season's course. Mr. Brown possesses qualities of voice and delivery, and evinces an intellectual grasp of his subject found only in orators of the first class. He will never fail to please and instruct his audience.
—John R. Robinson, President.

The lecture of Rev. L. E. Brown at the Congregational church Saturday evening was one of the best public addresses ever delivered in this place. It is an address which every citizen would profit by hearing. —Herald.

—High School Graduating Class, Evening Herald.

MANSFIELD, OHIO.
Rev. Brown is small in stature but has a charming per¬sonality. His conversation abounds with hard practical bus¬iness sense, but when he feels deeply he rises to heights of eloquence and carries the listener with him. His talk sparkles with repartee, crisp sayings and shows thought.

—Rev. L. L. Carpenter, Sec. Bethany Assembly.
NEW WINDSOR, COLORADO.
His lecture was a marvelous exposition of important truths relative to his subject. It was an eloquent and mas¬terful lecture. It would be difficult to outline the many vital features of it for there were so many. It is sufficient to say that Windsor will heartily welcome this excellent lecturer to her platforms should he again feel disposed to come.
—Pondre Valley.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
ASSISTANT STATE SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC SCHOOLS, INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Rev. L. E. Brown is one of the best popular lecturers in the field. His lectures are full of in¬struction and inspiration and have enough humor in them to make them highly entertaining throughout. —Prof. Lawrence McTurnan.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC SCHOOLS, RICHMOND, IND. L. E. Brown delivered his "Uncle Sam" lecture before seven different Graduating classes, and his "Batch of Biscuits" before one during our spring commencements. Crowded houses met him on each occasion. He proved a favorite with each audience, and demonstrated his power to in¬struct and entertain at the same time. I feel no hesitancy in recommending him to any audience.
—Prof. W. E. Wineburg.

Rev. L. E. Brown of Lebanon, Indiana, gave us a splendid address at our joint Eighth Grade Commencement this year. He spoke in the open air, and although conditions were somewhat un-favorable he made one of the greatest speeches that has ever been delivered in this county. His talk was full of inspiration for the young people and his voice and manner were all that is desired in an orator. No superintendent will ever regret securing Mr Brown's services at a commencement.
—George H. Tapy, County Supt. Whitley County. DECATUR, INDIANA.
Rev. L. E. Brown delivered the class address at our County Commencement thi3 year. Suffice it to say that we regard Rev.

—L. E. Opliger, County Supt. Adams County. MONTICELLO, INDIANA.
The people of Monticello have had the pleasure of listening twice to Rev. L. E. Brown's popular lecture, "Uncle Sam."

After hearing Rev. L. E. Brown deliver two of hii lectures I feel very sure that any community that employs him as an orator for a special occasion will never have any occasion to regret their action, for he is a ripe scholar and few possess his striking person¬ality.—W. B. Walkup, County Supt. Montgomery County, Ind. FLORA, INDIANA.
Rev. L. E. Brown delivered the class address at our com¬mencement this year. It was one of the most forcible and patriotic addresses that I have ever listened to. The audience was delighted from beginning to end.
—Prof. George B. Asbury, Supt. Schools, Flora, Ind. BROOK, INDIANA.
I am sure that your lecture was a great treat to all who heard it, and I take this opportunity of saying that, in my judgment, it is one among the very best that it has been my fortune to hear; and the many words of commendation from those present make me sure that I am not wrong in my opinion. I am sure that the results for good coming from this lecture cannot be measured and that the one who delivered it will receive a warm reception should he return at any time to this place.
—E. E. Vance, Supt. Brook, Ind., High School. DELPHI, INDIANA.
