I was asked by President William R.Harper, of the University of Chicago, who was chairman of the committee of invitations for the celebration to be held in the city of Chicago, to deliver one of the addresses at the celebration there.

I accepted the invitation, and delivered two addresses there during the Jubilee week.

The first of these, and the principal one, was given in the Auditorium, on the evening of Sunday, October 16.

This was the largest audience that I have ever addressed, in any part of the country; and besides speaking in the main Auditorium, I also addressed, that same evening, two overflow audiences in other parts of the city.
It was said that there were sixteen thousand persons in the Auditorium, and it seemed to me as if there were as many more on the outside trying to get in.

It was impossible for any one to get near the entrance without the aid of a policeman.
