Wendling, for Saturday evening, Nov. 28th, in his lecttii-e bi'fore the Stu(l"iits' Lecture Aseociation, will be "Saul of Tarsus." It is a discussion of orators and oratory and an analyses of the life and greater speeches of St. Paul, some of which are finely rendered. The genius, the eloquente, the heroie qualltiee of Paul make a rare theme, and in the hands of an orator of such power as Mr. Wendling a fascinating lecture is he i-eult. It is not a discussion of any of the religious phasee of the teachitogs of Paul, but waiving the supernatural element, treats the subject from a critical and historical point of view, and is there-fore deeply interestdng to all classes. It Is to-day one of thO great lectarcs of the Amertcan platform.
