Ripley, who is not of the Be lieve It or Not Ripleys, delivered one of the most amusing, most ln icligent and one of the most in teresting lectures to be heard out side the chaatauqua here in the Memorial building Friday morning. Dr. Rlplrey. a former Methodist preacher of Dallas Texas, jumped from one subject to another, from humor to drama, with the alacrity of a Texas jack rabbit, but the main topic of his theme was "The Open Door.” Dr. Ripley, who has retired from the ministry to travel throughout the east, jammed his message full of humorous jokes and sketches, but followed eaoh laugh' with a seasoned statement. Some of the points he brought out were. A man who works with the young will al ways stay young. There is nothing in your way but yousrelf. No man can shut the open door. Talent Necessary. The Texas preacher also declared that, the wort of the world is com ing to one talent—that this talent must be used to te utmost. ‘Ignorance, is a sin, a crime," Dr. Ripley solemnly repeated. He said the world had been built through dreams—the dreams of Edison, Ford, Burbank. Watt, Pulton and others. “Build your air castles, bring them down to earth and live in them,” he ordered. “Don’t turn a job loose because it is hard."
