From Pres. GREEN, late of Whitesboro Institute, and Profs.
AVERY and CATLIN, of Ham. College, and others.
I have listened to Mr. Holt's Lecture on Palestine, and have
witnessed the accompanying illustrations. The whole affair was
highly attractive—deeply interesting—greatly instructive. The il¬
lustrations are striking and imposing; as refreshing to the eye as
impressive on the mind. They are moreover adapted to gratify
and improve the taste. Mr. Holt has, in my view, fair and strong
claims on the attention and countenance of those to whom he may
have access. His character I have reason to believe is sound and
elevated; entitling him to the love and confidence of the Friends
of our Common Humanity. BERIAH GREEN.

We concur in the above.
C. AVERY, N. CATLIN, Ham. College, A. KENYON,
Pastor of Baptist Church, Clinton, N. Y.; A. J. DANA, Pastor
of M. E. Church, Clinton, N. Y.
To the above I cheerfully subscribe, and add that no one can
give Mr. Holt a candid hearing, and witness his beautiful and
striking illustrations, without being well paid and greatly edified.
I heartily wish that the importance of the subject and the admira¬
ble manner in which he handles it, might secure a liberal patron¬
age. WALTER R. LONG,
Pastor of Presbyterian Church, Whitesboro, N. Y.
I most cordially concur in the opinions of Rev. Messrs. Green
and Long, above expressed. POMEROY JONES,
Senior Judge of Oneida County, N. Y.
From Profs. EATON and KENDRICK of the Literary and
Theo. Seminary, Hamilton, N. Y.
Mr. Holt's pictorial illustrations are among the best of the kind
we have ever seen, and their general accuracy may be relied on.—
His remarks were clear, appropriate, instructive, and at times
solemn and impressive. His style and manner as a lecturer are
happy and lucid. * *
