AS INTERESTIXG LECTURE. Geo. R. Wendling wiil deliver the next lecture in the course of the Lecture Association next Saturday evening in University Hall. His subject is "Saul of Tarsus." The speaker will give an analysis of the life and greater speeches of St. Paul, some of which are finely rendered. The genius, the eloquence, and the heroic qualities of Paul make a rare theme, and in the hands of an orator of such power as Mr. Wendling a fascinating lecture is the result. It is not a discussion of any of the religious phases of the teachings of Paul, but waiving the supernatural element, treats the subiect from a critical and historical point of view, and is therefore deeply interesting to all classes. It is today one of the great lectures of the American platform. TUE NOVEMBER HECORB. The Novembernumber of the Record, the official University organ, was issued this week.
