Excerpt from Ingersoll Answered: An Examination of His Discourse Entitled What Must I Do to Be Saved? Under this title a remarkable lecture has been delivered in America by Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, who is announced as a minister of the Gospel of Freethought. About the lecturer I know nothing more than he has told me himself in his eloquent lecture. I judge him to be a man Of rare power as a speaker, and probably one Of those rhetoricians who would take any cut to a climax, and sacrifice whatever stood in the way Of immediate impression and effect. He appears from this lecture to be a man who is determined to secure the laughter and applause Of his hearers at all costs. The lecture reads as if reported, and is very largely charged with such expressions as laughter and applause, and renewed laughter. On almost every page these expressions occur, and others stronger still, such as loud applause, loud applause and laughter, loud laughter.
