ELOQUENT POTTER CHARMS AUDIENCE FIRST M. E. CHURCH : CHARACTER BUILDING EE- t I ECTIVELY ILLUSTRATED ' BY POTTER AND CLAY 1 A lurge and appreciative audi- f nice, crowded the lecture Boom of j the Methodist Episcopal . ChurcJ'etJaturday evening; to hear ], J. Smith Dumron, deliver his popular lecture entitled, "The Potter t and the Clay." " t Both the lecturer and his lec- , tore stand unique among their „ kind, upon the public platform, j. The attention of the audience, is ri vetted upon the speaker, from fa start to finish. e If only as a means of preserv- „ ing an art, which is fast dying |, out, and rapidly becoming replac- v ed by machinery, Mr. Damron's exhibition deserves the utmost sup- t port and praise. t Without question the art of the [, potter is the oldest of all, dating c back to the twilight period of myth and legend, long before man, ac- a quired the art of writing, perhaps r long l>eforc man had acquired, a c well defined language. _ c The remains were recently un- \ earthed of a prehistoric race, and a among them were found three t pieces of crude pottery. ,| Particularly interesting and instructive to children was the lec- t ture, and the exhibition of pottery- p making; for which the ladie«^b£-the (, Civic Club, are to be highly com- „ mended, in that they made it pos- e sible for so many children, to sec demonstrated before their eyes, an j, art which in a few more years will v have passed over, into the limbo u of lost arts. u Mr. Damron very lucidly, and c interestingly, illustrated and explained, the potter's clay, to the v finished product. And as with deft j| fingers he manipulated the clay p upon the revolving wheel, the e audience held spellbound as the « substance assumed the form of a

quisitely wrought Corinthian Vase, he applied the principles of his craft to the art of character \ moulding and building. ii In another way, Mr. Damron is f as interesting to hear as to see. His lecture scintillated with rare h flashes of wit and humor, which o at times kept the audience convuls- a ed with laughter. F Dr. John Handley presided over the introductory ceremonies, open- ' ing the meeting with the singing of America, and repeating of the v Lord's Prayer. In introducing the lecturer. Dr. 0 Handley referred to him as Dr. F Damron. Replying, Mr. Damron said wittily he was no doctor of c divinity; rather his degree was an r M. D., "Mud Dabbler." The most trivial and insignifi- 1 cant thing Mr. Damron did, while c • preparing and moulding the day, ' was made the excuse for some 1 wise and sage fragment of counsel, or for a witty remark. 1 . For example, as he cut the clo.v|f over and over, upon a length of j c wire drawn tight across the table, s he said this was done to preclude any wind, being left between the particles of the clay; adding that frequently the Almighty was; driven to adopt, something of the , " same method, to "rid men of su- I perfiuous wind." Again, as the lecturer took the first slab of clay, out of the tin e box with a close fitting Ud, he re- I marked, that if men and dties desired to keep clean, it was necessary for them to keep the lid on ^ tight. In working the clay upon the revolving table, three things were absolutely necessary, the lecturer said. It was necessary to find the true center of the table, to keep the clay level at the top, and to keep one foot firmly on the ground. The observance of these three rules were as imperative in life as they were in clay moulding, Dr. Damron added. Every man must find his true- center, keep level at 1 the top, and keep one foot firmly on the ground. Frequently he had been asked, the lecturer continued, if the foot with which he kept the table revolving, did not get tired, to which he replied, it was not the foot that worked that grew tired, but the one which did nothing. '«r. Damron in the course of bis , .re, took occasion to give the ladles, some very valuable advice concerning the relative value of ehina ware, and possibly some will be very cautious in the future, when smpted to expiate upon the beauty of their hand-jainted china, lest it should happen, that the beautiful design, had been wrought! from a paper transfer, and not by the artist's brush. , One statement made by Mr. Damron, and very clearly proved, it should be added, elicited instant applause from his patriotic audi- , ence. After describing at length ; the various kinds of china, and pot- '

tery, manufactured abroad, Mr. Damron stated that no concern at the present day, whs producing a finer quality of china-ware than America, and no State finer than . than manufactured at Trenton; in our own State. One lesson to which the lecturer directed the special attention of the children and young people, it is to lie hoped, they will retain Mr. Damron had almost completed, a finely made copy of an water vessel, when it suddenly collapsed, into a shapeless muss, on Ujc revolving table.! What had caused such a disas-; ter? The potter began to search: through the clay, and discovered; that a piece of wood had been inadvertently left in it, during the of preparation. Applying the incident to human the lecturer stated that ,■ every life, which ends in ruin and « shame, has come to such a fate, of some uncleanliness Replacing the clay on the wheel,: i the potter resumed his task, but! 'this time produced not a handsome' Egyptian water pitcher, but a The lesson was not lost upon the audience. Probably many could recall some life, which began its K career, with every promise of liecoming a beautiful Corinthian Vase, but which through misuse - ' and abuse of talents and opportunity, had come to the end of, days, a common cuspidor. In addition to the lecture, and; ; the clay working, Mr. Damror en-! tertained his audience, with an ex- : of some very fine speci- ; of tableware, used by differ- j : cnt presidents at the White House.! * The pattern adopted by ex-Pres- ; ;| Wilson was shown, as also ~ a platter • of the pattern, which graced the table before which the immortal Abraham Lin- ; coin dined. In all the respects, Mr. Damron's — visit to Ocean City was an unqual- a— ified success, and /. may be safely predicted, that a much larger audi- ' will be there to greet him, should he come again. MRS. 'r. DOWDNEY CLARK CALLS , i . t r, — i ruo, „r l f„. Mrs. Dowdney i

Woodbury, and of Ocean City, wasj town during the past week, and . favored the Sentinel with a call. | Mrs. Clark will file remembered j ; by our readers, as the authoress of the charming travelogs, which apeared in our columns-during the past summer, months. The gifted literatcur was touring extensively through Europe during the time, and her letters, written from various countries, were vividly drawn pen pictures of the scenes through which she passed, and of the people she met. Her description of the celebrated Play of Obcrammagnur was masterly wrought, and a large demand was made for copies of the travelog, among whom were several clergymen, who desired to make use of it in the course of their pulpit ministrations. Since returning home, Mrs. Dowdney Clark, has been engrossi ed to the exclusion of everything else, in the work of her music ' sudio. The lady informs us however, that her letters from abroad have 1 by no means exhausted her maj teriul, and soon our readers may ' anticipate more from her versatile pen. Dr. and Mrs. Stedcm, have clos-j ed their cottage, and returned toi Philadelphia.
