LECTURE ON LOGAN.

The First of the Epwortb ourse by Col. E. E. Clough. The lecture by Col.

E. Clough at the M. E. church last evening, which was the first ot the course arranged by the Epworth League, was fairly well attended. The speaker was introduced by Rev.

A. R. Boggs, who prefaced his introduction by a few very appropriate remarks. The colonel made the assertion that John A. Logan had no superior In-moral character among all the men in public He gave some interesting facts relative to Logan's showing that his parents were cultured and educated and that they gave John good opportunities which the latter most industriously improved.

At the age of i5 years yonng'Lngan was' the best classical scholar in his section of the state. Here the speaker tried to dispel from the mind of any the idea that such men as Logan had attained the positions they did without the most careful preparation. Besides the advantage Logan gained by being a hard student the secrets of his success lay in his resource of mind, bis honesty, his sfnse of fair play and his reliability. The lectarer went into his career as a soldier in the Mexican war, his subsequent graduation at a law school in Kentucky and his marriage to the young woman of sixteen, whose faithfulness and piety she maintained during all their married life. Next the speaker pointed out a characteristic of Logan, which was his brotherly friendship loyalty to his friends.

And the speaker thought, though al most a lost art, the cultivation of friendship was one of the greatest promotors of success for those who succeed do so because some friend opens the gate to place them ip reach of a possibility. Thus the speaker took up the many characteristics of Logan and from which he widened out with some splendid lessons and with some interesting references to other public men. While he did not go particularly iuto the military career of Logan the tpeaker's description of the disloyal mob that greeted Logan when he returned to Southern 'Illinois at the outbreak of the war and how he turned the tide of feeling the other way, was eloquent, as was also the beautiful tribute he paid Grant and GarBeld and the typical homes tbey lepresented. lecture, on the whole, was an admirable one, fall of fire, animation, pathos and earnestness and was delivered in Col. Ciougb's well known masterly ruauner.
