Lecture on Dickens

The third Lecture of the Y. M. L. A. -of St. James’ church course was delivered -1.‘; night by Rev, J35. Carrutliers. There

was a very fair attendance, the clear and critical analysis of Dickens’ charac- ters, and of the diatiiiguislitiigtraits of the famous novelist was followed with closest attention. -. . f llfiteaentials of the lfasliidllable novel, al ‘a esnbod ' is ovc affair’ ,-' were idfled. Thisytulig lecturer believed was

of this type. nor we're. those of The aii-.of reality and truth- , pervading all his greations, his his humor, his power of investing flag monest things with an interest ‘ made them intensely attractive were ‘i brought out. Several of his works ifisro outlined and the selections read, both in choice and in the gendering, did ’ the fullest justice to the writer. _ Sun, Wellei-(‘s valentine, Mrs. Sarah Ganps, and in factall the selections were a rare treat, and the death, of Little Joe listened to with breathless attention. The American misunderstanding and misrepresentation of Dickens in respect of conviviality w-is rebutted by .difl'ereiit selections from his writings, which ,shnw- 4.3. that Dickens was fully conscious of fig; "ii; at the drink: habit,‘ both at home and in neighbouring countries, and fihsthc did not neglect to use his pen it. _ Professor Anderson, who occupied. the cm, expressed the great pleasure the night‘; outertaimerit zitlnrdel him, and referred to the opportuiieness of the —’°m_u-kg, wide upon D‘.ckeu’s atttude toward the drinking customs of ’ society‘; and said that we had little in this direction to accuse any of our must eminent English authofs of. He recalled with pleasure even at this distant date a temperance lecture that he once attended when it youngman in Aberdeen. The lecturer, I rev. irentletnan, departing from the usual custom, treated his audience toii cgngction of readings from Sba-kespere assailing the drink habit. , It was grand and made git excellent impression.
