SEARCH FOR A LOST PEOPLE.
Professor Repeal interesting Lectures
in the Norwalk Methodist Church.
..The1Norwaik Methodist Church was
filled to overflowing. yesterday after-
noon. with those anxious to listen to
libs lecture by Rev. R. W. Rogers, D.D..
. R. C. 8., of Drew Theological Semin
ary. Professor Rogers' subject was

"The Search for a Last People.‘

This service opened at 2. 30 with the
Rev William North Rice. DJ). presid
the. He read from the Scriptures and
the well known hymn "Old Hundred"
was sung. After the prayer he asked
ifor the collection to help defray the
expenses of the conference. There
had been considerable expense attach-
ed to it. he said.

Professor Rogers was introduced to
the audience amid much applause. in
openingrhe spoke of the mysterious
manner in which the Hittites had dis-
appeared from the face of the earth.
He referred to the flight of the eagle.
which.pl1en it soared through the air
left no trace whatever. He had been
on a ship and had noticed the wake
left behind. This remained for a few
hours ‘gThen he had witnessed real-
ments of British soldiers cross thew
deserts on their way to the Soudan.
These left foot prints..in the sand
which disappeared with the coming of
a south wind. The Hittites, however,
had disappeared like the Eagle. leav-
ing not a single trace.

That they were an important people
might be gleaned from the fact that
the Old Testament mentions them at
least twenty- -two times. the first time
being in the tenth chapter of Genlses.
It had also been proven that the Hit-
tites were a powerful and warlike na-
tion.
