There wma nothing of the apectao
ular or gosh to appeal to the emo
tion, but he ahot out facts that ap
pealed to reaeon, to heart, to soul
and td decency. He showed hlmaelf
a diplomat. Ho did not mlnoe mat
ters, and though he must have driv
en tome ahafta Into aome in the au
dience, the Justices of his position
?sa so dear that none coald take
of name. At the close of hie lecture
he had th# ?ntlre audience with him.
That la the* ea!d they were, whether
they wifro or not, for all la the large
audience stood up on his proposi
tion, and no one failed to arise In
the negative when an opportunity
was given.'
The subject of Mr. Love's address
was "The Daughter That Thou
Oavest M? " In the course or his
lecture he gave some Ineldenta la
the life of a wayward girl In this
8tate. Man'a part in the destruction
of the llvre of girls was portrayed.
In tbfe connection be pictured the
human vultur? In quest of victims.
The need of legislation against this,
moral hyena or moral acourge, was
emphasised. At present the law 1*
directed aolely against the woman
for certain moral transgressions,
wheress the lecturer thought that
the law should mske each equally
guilty. In fact he placed the great
er responsibility upon man. One of
the ohjecta of the lecture was to
create sentiment for the enactment
of legislation which will make man
as anponable to the law as woman.
The court house was practically
full.
