No one who enjoys an intellectual treat ghould miss hearing Jury's distinguished ulpit orator and lecture, Rsv. Joseph F. íu?ent, next Fiiday evening in the Oathol:c church. The Ottawa Press saya: ' Father Nugent is an orator in the fullest and truest sense of the word. In form and voice and gesture, he i a model. In ease and grace and facility of expression he ïas few equals and ia eurpassed by none. Ie held nis audienee for an hour anti a ïalf, snd could easily have hld Uien for wo hours longer. Thia we consider the rue test of eloquence. In faot mnny were lisappointed ihat he didn't talk longer. And jet the man never geems to mnke an ffort. It's almogt provoking to hear hitn alk with such eaie and relrain from drawng on the reserved power that is so fet bo'h in his voice ar.d his bearing And wh'le you listn to him enraptured, you CBiit'c help sayir.g to yourself, "Oo, if he would only try." A distinguisbed characteristin ot' Mr. Nugent is the píoqplicity of lii langnae. Ilis big ideis sparkle in a rheforical se'ling that is simplicity it-elf. He iu.t oi.ly gives his hearers 8omething more than fioe rounded periods to take home with them but the longer they think on his aidress the more they can íee in il to remember and admire."
