The Students' Lecture Association have shown great enterprise in securing Dr. Parker, the friend of Henry Ward Beecher, to lecture in University hall to-morrow evening. He should be greeted by a large audience. Dr. Parker stands near Spurgeon as a pulpit speaker. He has a face which in some respect resembles Beecher's and is very striking. His subject Í9 "Henry Ward Beecher from an English Point of View." Of course it will be an appreciative view of the great Brooklyn orator which Dr. Parker will give. Dr. Parker is able to do justice even to Beecner : he has been called the Beecher of England. He is a Congregationalist of of the most liberal school, and has built up a great society ia London. His style of speaking is said to be eloquent, but convincing rather than persuasive. He lacks Beecher's wonderful humor, but he has great force of' thought, clearness of expression, and thorough logic.
