Last night the Foresters Hall was fairly filled, when Mr Holland lectured tp on “The Fatality of Numbers. ’ He stated that every man, woman and . , child was governed by a number, and . his purpose was to present a num mr of facts taken from the lives of celebrated men and women that clearly demonstrated that such was the case. The number was arrived at from the date of birth, and the figures, when added together, gave the number, When an event took place, the number that governed the man was seen, as the following illustration would show : \V E. Gladstone’s number was 5 v Lorn 29-12-1809 Entered Parliament ...1832 Aged -3 Became Prime Miuis-i ter 1808 Aged .’ 59 Died 19-5-1898 Lord Kitchener’s number was 8 Lon, 24-6-1850 - 26-8 !Commenced his career 1871 —l7 8 Ended his career 1916 L 8 Drowned on .Monday at 8 o’clock 8 He received £BO,OOO from the Government for his services, which is also 8, and another curious fact is that 8 is the number of the moon, and he died on the Moonday. Lord Kitchener always dreaded the ocean, and he firmly believed that be would die 1 by drowning. j The lecture was exceedingly interest'iug and instructive, and doubtless I will create an interest in occulation, 'for it certainly indicated that “there 1 are more things in Heaven and Earth, ' than are dreamt of in our philosophy.” ■After the lecture, Mr Holland gave a number of readings from dates of birth taken from the audience, all of i which were acknowledged to be correct. I On Fndayniglit, Mr Holland will I again lecture on this science, when he. ’will explain the science, his subject / being: “How to Read Character and Destiny from Date of Birth.” Private interviews may be obtained at the Hall daily from 11 to 5.
