Mr. Koehne's Lecture.

"It was the best lecture of the course" was the expression frequently (heard on last Tuesday evening. It was certainly marvelous how Mr. Koehne analyzed and synthesized as he presented the account of the early Christian church and the argument for miracles, He most graph- ically pictured the conditions of the Roman Empire under the Caesar's. Also the movement of the first great skeptics

and the first Apologists. He most suc-

cessfully presented the weaknesses of

the ancient philosophies for spiritual

ends, and the Inherent worth of the Christian rellgion. As heretofore, Mr. Koebne was dramatic and eloquent and thrilled his listeners.

Tonight he will speak on "The Church of the Reformation," and will give esti- mates of the work of Luther, Calvin and Knox. It will prove exceedingly inter-

esting to all.

Basset-Applebee.

Miss. Elizabeth A. Bassett of Franklin, Mass, and Mr. Ira M. Applebee of Cam- bridge were joined in Wedlock to the Parlor of the Broadway St. Baptist church Cambridge, Tuesday even- ing, March 27th, at 8 o'clock. They were the recipients of many beautiful presents. Mr. and Mrs. Applebee will reside at 67 Bristol street, Cambridge, where Mr. Applebee Is employed as a Baker.

OBSERVATIONS.

" To observations which ourselves we make We grow more partial for the Observer's sake."

That the cnrfew law may have more effect we suggest to the selectmen to have the whistle sound forth at 9 p. m.

Practical reform, with a big R, is a favorite with a good many people, and when it was announced that E. D. Dan. iels, superintendent of the public schoole, would speak to the Farmers' club, on "Practical Reform in School Work, " we knew that his experience warranted the expectation of gaining insight upon

It appears to the Observer and many this very important matter. The meet- ing was held at Mr. Daniels' residence on Desn avenue, and after the announce- ment hy president Morse, Mr. Daniels said eubetantially : "In school work there is no standing etill; it muet he backward or forward.

Mr. Daniels illustrated his remarks on manusl training with products of the work of such schools, and at the con. clusion of the formal discussion. Mrs. Daniels illustrated the subject of good cooking with an abundant and substan- tial lunch, which was practically dis- cussed with the same interest that had previously been given to the intellectual part of the progromme.
