Chandler, pastor of Boone Methodist Church, gave a most interesting lecture on "Hebrew Literature." He was introduced with a few timely remarks given by Miss Bouchelle, a member of the Seminar Board, and gave to those present some keenly interesting facts about the literature r,}f the Hebrews, giving incidents of Biblical history recorded by this literature. The Delphian members thought this to be such an interesting subject and to be presented bv such a well-versed speaker thai they wanted their friends to share the pleasure with them, so the following ladies were guests at this meeting: Mesdames Frank Linney, Luther Clay. Paul Coffey, Ben Counciil, A. R. Smith, David Greene, D. I>. Dougherty; Misses Jane Eliason, Estelle Pyc. Virginia Wary, Gladys Bolt. Ksthoi* FleinminfC, Miss Rich.! at'dsoiv and Miss Weaver.
