' {From The Daily Boomerang, Laramie City, Wyominff, January. 27//i,i886.) I " The lecture at the Baptist Church last evening was well attended. The subject was a pleasing one to the young folks, and I noticed that the older ones were deeply interested in the points made by the able speaker. ' Marriage ' as presented by Mr. Dyke, is an interesting, instructive and amusing lecture. **♦♦*♦ Those who heard Mr. Dy|6 last eveniil^ would be plea^ied to lipi en to a second lecture, > subject of • Single Blessedness ' hai and th< has been suggested." *♦* , {Fnm The Sentinel, Laramte Cityt Wyo., Jan. ^oth, i886.) * " The Rev. S. A. Dyke furnished our citizens a rare and intellectual treat at the Baptist Church, o-i Tuesday evening, the 26th, in his lecture on ' Marriage.' It was the finest address on this all important subject to which we ever listened. It was clear, coherent and logical, and, without belQg a rehash of old jokes and anecdotes, it was illus- trated* bv enough of stories to make it intensely Interesting and spiced with enough humor to furnish a background for the pathos. It was full of valuable practical information from beginning to end —one of those rare lectures that both amuse and instruct, and make those who listen happier, wiser and better." \* {From The Cheyenne {Wyo.), Daily Sun, Jan, soth, i886.) , "Rev. S. A. Dyke delivered a most interesting lecture at the First Baptist Church las' night, on the subject of ' Marriage.' The house was well flilled,and the audience was one of which any lecturer might justly feel proud. The manner in which Mr. Dyke handled his sub- ject was most pleasing. ♦ ♦ * ♦ * ♦ * rpj^^ j^^g^ portion of the discourse was Ohat concerning what a wife should be. Tla.e physical, mental and r i-al characteristics of the mother are transmitted to the child, anu ner mind arid spirit are stamped upon it. * ♦ * * ^^'^ ' Courtship after Marriage' was one of the finest points made by The the lecturer, who claimed that it was more old wine, more precious with age." * * real and genuine— like ■K >l> t *♦♦ ( From The Cheyenne { Wyo.), Daily THbune, Jan. soth, 1886.) " The First Baptist Church was filled last night by an intelligent audience anxious to hear what Rev. S. A. Dyke had to say about the important subject of ' Marriage.' Throughout the lecture the speaker held the undivided attention of the audience. ♦ * ♦ Considerable attention was given as to how husband and wife should conduct ;themselves after marriage. He pictured an ideal husband and an ideal wife, but admitted that the picture would not apply to all— not even in Cheyenne." * * ♦ * (From The {Golden City, Colo.) Transcript, Feb. S'd, 1886.) " The Bev. S. A. Dyke, of Toronto, Canada, celiver d a lecture last evening in tje Baptist Church to a good audience upon the subject of ' Marriage.' The subject was handled in a most interesting man- ner, and ^ave unqualified satisfaction. It is not olten that so many points of importance are touched upon in a way at once to arouse the interest and carry the convictions of an audience. It is afe to say that if young people were to follow the advice given, fewer un- fortunate mistakes would be made in their selections of partners for life; and if those who are married were to live according to the principles laid down by the lecturer, there would be fewer divorce suits and much more happiness in the marriage relation. The lecture was wholesome.encouraging and stimulating throughout,and worthy the attention of the intelligent audience present." * * {From The Cheyenne Democratic Daily Leader, Feb, 6th.) " Bev. S. A. Dyke lectured on 'Marriage' at the Second Baptist Church last evening to a large audience. The lecture was for the benefit of the unfortunate pastor of that church, who has to a great extent lost his sight. The lecture was, n the main, the same as that delivered in the First Baptist Church a week a^o, and was a «rery interesfcing one— full of thought and original ideas— some of which might not accord with the views of all, but without doul t the near- est approach to a proper and complete handling of the subject our people have listened to since Theodore Tilton lectured on substanti- ally the same subject some years ago." * * * {From Rev. Charles M. Jones, Pastor 1st Baptist Church, Grand Junction Colorado.) " It has been our privilege to hear in our Church this evening (March 8th, 1886), a lecture on Marriage' from Bev. S. A. Dyke, Toronto, Canada. The lecture is one of the finest and noblest repre- sentations of this theme that I have ever heard. It is a poem for its beauty of thought and choice setting of language. It is a sermon, preaching in deep earnest and great faithfulness the scriptural teaching upon this divinest human institution. His manner is animated, graphic, and shows great shrewdness of insight, and great sympathy with the human interests involved. On this account the young people are immensely intercEited, even entertained ; yet Mr. Dyke never for a single instant descends to clap-trap, or un- seemly or unsavory jesting. The oldest heads are afforded food for thought, and yet the lecture has not a dull or heavy sentence. I consider this lecture worthy the most cultivated audience in the land ; but, better still, I consider it a benediction to the hearers. It is honest and wholesome, sensible, inspiring and must accomplish only good.'i (From The Huron Expositor, Nov. 5th, 1886.) " The subject, always interesting, was made doubly so by the Jectu.er. Mr. Dyke is a model lecturer. He lias a pleasant voice, aud a smooth, fluent, easy delivery ; and he possesses the happy faculty of being able to illustrate aud drtve home his points by inter- esting aud often amusing anecdotes. The lecture was one of the best that has been given in this town." * * * {From The Sea/orth Sun, Nov, 5th, 1886,) " Rev. Mr. Dyke delivered his popular lecture on Marriage in the Methodist Church on Wednesday evening, 3rd inst. The lecturer opened with a beautiful description, or word picture, of the first marxiage in Paradise, and closed with a singularly fine description of tlie last marriage. The language, the style of delivery, and the excellent reasoning combined to make ii the best lecture oui" citizens have heard upon this subject. Those who missed it, missed a treat not often enjoyed." \* (From Rev. J. E. Howell, M.A., Superintendent, Godtnich District,; " Last evening (Nov. 3rd) the Rev. S. A. Dyke delivered his lecture on Mairiage in the Methodist Church, Seaforth. For beauty of diction, soundness of reasoning, and appropriateness of advice for the young and the old, the majcried and the unmarried, it was all that could be desired. The entire lecture bristled with humor, incident, fact and sound logic. The oongiegatiou listened throughout with rapt attontion, aud a hearty vote of appreciation was uu..ni- mously passed to the Rev. Lecturer at the close. Such a lecture cannot bat do good wherever delivered." (From Rev. J, Edmonds, Rector St. Thomas^ Church, Seaforth.) " The lecture on ' Marriage ' by the Rev. Mr. Dyke, of Toronto, was a most excellent one. It is seldom, indeed, that the subject has been treated in so unexceptional a manner. The rare good judg- ment displayed, the felicitous and abounding illustrations, the keen wit and humor, the tender pathos and purity of the sentiments ex- pressed, together with the importance of the subject itself, combined to make it one of the best and most profitable lectures to which it is possible to listen. The churches need not fear to hear this lecture of Rev. Mr. Dyke's. It is elevating, relining and captivating thiough- out." -^7.mm^i^m^
