Notwithstanding a pouring rain, Judge Clarkson was greeted by a large audience on the occasion of his lecture in Tremont Temple, Boston, on Tuesday evening, October 9, 1900.
Judge Clarkson was called to deliver the semi-annual lecture under the auspices of the Mother Church. Although the great Temple was not entirely filled, there being some vacant seats in the gallery, yet, in view of the unpleasant weather the audience was a remarkable one both in size and character. A large number preferred to stand rather than sit in the gallery. In all there must have been twenty-five hundred present.
The attention given the lecturer throughout was earnest and rapt, a deep silence pervading the great audience chamber.
