1 am ver) glad indeed to write you 

 that the lecture, "The Land of the 

 Setting Sun." was most acceptable and 

 I have heard several men comment 

 most favorably upon it. and I hope 

 that next season we may be aide to 

 make another engagement with you 

 for your lecture entitled "A Little Ser- 

 mon from Nature." 



"The Excellent Slides Were Without 



Doubt the Best We Have Seen."

 I wish to write you relative to your 

 excellent lecture recently delivered in 

 the opera house here. From the stand- 

 point of substance we all much 

 enjoyed the material presented, especi- 

 ally since you gave to it a strong' touch 

 of individuality, and I think gave many 

 of your auditors the conception that 

 while much in "The Land of the Set- 

 ting Sun" is decidedly attractive yet 

 I her' is at home and close at hand 

 that which is equally beautiful and 

 wonderful. I believe this conception 

 would do very much to round out and 

 complete the lives and experiences of 

 those who at present live to a certain 

 extent in a humdrum existence. We 

 were all particularly enthusiastic over 

 the excellent slides. They were with- 

 out doubt the best we have seen. 



"Listened with Delight to His Sympa- 

 thetic Presentation ot the Subject."

Dr. Edward F. Bigelow gave his lec- 

 ture on "'The Land of the Setting Sun" 

 before the pupils of our school. Tt was 

 one of a course of several lectures and 

 perhaps the one most enjoyed. Dr. 

 Bigelow is always full of enthusiasm 

 for his subject and is always followed 



ia: Sound Beach, Connecticut 



with interest l.y his audience. At this 

 lecture there were several pupils from 

 California present who listened with 

 delight to his .sympathetic presentation 



of his subject. The slides were ex- 

 tremely char and beautiful and selected 

 w ith great judgment. 



"The Favor of Your Repeating the 



Lecture."

ROBJENT, PASTOR. 



So many of our people and others 

 have been asking me to ask the favor 

 of your repeating the lecture on "The 

 Land of the Setung Sun." They say it 

 was grand and lots of people in the 

 city would like to hear it who were not 

 present two weeks ago. Now will you 

 do us all the favor? I can let you have 

 Sunday evening, January 24, a week 

 from this Sunday. Do ^ay yes and 

 phone me so I can announce it from 

 the pulpit. 



"Was a Delight to All." 

 The lecture on "The Land of the 

 Setting Sun," by Dr. Ldward F. Bige- 

 low, last Sunday evening, was a delight 

 to all who had the pleasure of listening 

 to it. The pictures were exquisite in 

 color, especially those showing the flora 

 of Calitornia. There was a great 

 variety of many of the most wonderful 

 and interesting things to be found in 

 the great State. The lecturer was en- 

 thusiastic in spirit, graphic in descrip- 

 tion, eloquent in diction, and humorous 

 by the way of side lights and piquant 

 comments. He worked upon the imag- 

 ination ana sentiments of the audience 

 and kep f interest at a high pitch 

 throughout. The wonderfully interest- 

 ing and valuable things in nature were 

 kept well in the foreground all the 

 time, and the idea that there must be 

 truth ana appreciation in the soul in 

 order to find it in nature were strongly 

 emphasized. Any one desiring lectures 

 of this kind will not be disappointed in

 Sun." — The Daily Advocate. Stamford.
