"A happy combination of startling facts and sparkling fun"
By   Way   of   Explanation
MR.   GAMEL is a new man on the platform, but
one who is sure to win his way.     Last season
every audience he met was delighted.     There
were   no   failures.     For   sixteen  years   he   has
been careful, sympathetic student of the lives of boys and
young men,—and of the tendencies of the times.     He is an
eloquent   speaker,— original—forceful.     He is a man with a
message which he knows how to deliver.     His lectures are
built to help, but nobody goes to sleep while he speaks.
The Pictures (many of them from Mr. Gamel's own negatives made from life) are specimens of the very best in the slide-maker's art; and while the lectures are complete without them, the illustrations, as projected by a powerful, expertly managed stere-opticon,   add   much   to   the   hearer's   pleasure.

" Bright, witty, earnest and interesting"
The   Witnesses   all   Agree
Cherryvale, Kans.—C. A. Mitchell, Cashier First National Bank—I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Frank H. Gamel's lecture, "The American Boy— His Perils and Possibilities," and I wish I knew of some way of getting it before the boys and boys' parents all over this land. I have never heard or read anything touching the subject that presented it in so forcible a manner or that presented such an array of startling facts, holding the intense inter¬est of  the    hearers   from        

beginning to end.
Berwick, Pa.—John R.. R.iebe, General Secretary Y M. C. A.—Mr. F. H. Gamel's address on "The Young Man Who Wins," was without exception, conceded to be one of the raciest, most sensible and altogether sound addresses ever delivered to an audi¬ence of men in our build¬ing. Gamel is forceful, logical, convincing.
Newark, Ohio A. A. Ehersole, General Secre¬tary V. M.C. A.—We have just had Frank H. Gamel deliver his two illustrated lectures in our Association hall. Among all the speak¬ers we have had last sea¬son or this, I can truthfully say that his presentation of    the   claims   of  Jesus
Christ upon the young man's life is the most sen¬sible and at the same time the most effective and altogether satisfactory that we have yet had.
Sioux City, Iowa—Chas. B. Hall, General Sec¬retary Y. M. C. A.—Mr. Gamel's work here was a great success. "The American Boy," which he gave at the "Monday night popular," made a deep impression and has the entertainment features in it necessary to hold a mixed audience. I feel sure much good was accomplished. If he is in this vicinity next year be sure and save dates for us.
Columbus, Kans.—Prof. C. S. Bowman, Princi¬pal Cherokee County High School—The audience that assembled last night to listen to Frank H. Gamel's lecture, "The American Boy," received a genuine treat, and to say that they were pleased is to put it mildly indeed. They were enthusias¬tic in their praise of the lecture. We have had some of the best talent in                            our   lecture   courses  that
the country affords and none of them have given more complete satisfac¬tion than Mr. Gamel. I le has a wonderful lecture, one that every parent and child in this country ought to hear.
Joplin. Mo.    Rev. L. H.
Shane, pastor First Pres¬byterian Church—The pictures are fine, and the manipulation of the lan¬tern perfect. The lecture is entertaining and helpful in a high degree, and the delivery very pleasing. It is just such a lecture as all parents and youths should hear.
Parsons, Kans. — Prof. T. S. Johnson, Supt. City Schools — Clear, sugges¬tive, forcible.   If you don't
want the moral   tone of your   community   raised
let him alone.
Parsons, Kans.—Maude Ellison, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Labette County, Kansas— Frank H. Gamel delivered his popular illustrated lecture, "The American Boy," at a joint meeting of the Teachers' Association of Cherokee, Montgom¬ery and Labette counties, Feb. 20th, greatly to the delight of all who heard him. His language and pictures are of the best, and his power to control and hold an audience marvelous.
"A magnificent presentation of a great subject"
A masterpiece—Should be heard by parents everywhere"
