COMMENTS OF THE PRESS

Philadelphia
"We take the opportunity to say that the lectures of Rev. Selah W. Brown, delivered at the Central, Siloam and Frankford churches, Philadelphia, gave the highest degree of satisfaction.

Toledo
"A large and appreciative audience gathered at the Broadway M. E. Church last evening to hear a lecture on 'Away Down South in Dixie,' by Selah W. Brown, D.D. Dr. Brown has a very genial manner and pleasing delivery and he held the attention of the audience from first to last. The lecture was at once instructive and entertaining; it was not a mere compendium of facts and figures relating to the South, but was on the John L. Stoddard type of lec¬ture ; the audience, forgetful for the time of the sharp winds and muddy streets outside, wandered in fancy through the romantic palmetto groves, the fields of cotton and rice in the Sunny South.
"The lecture throughout was a very pleasing medley of humor and pathos and was heartily enjoyed by all present."—Toledo Times, March 4, 1903.
