A very delightful lecture was given by the Eev. J. Paterson to the members of the Trained Nurses' Association, in the Nurses' Club room, Royal Exchange Building, Cathedral square. The lecturer dealt with Egyptology and the history of the ancient Pharaohs, particularly that of Achaeton, whose aistory has been mainly obtained from :he writing on his tomb, and from hymns and such sources, which go to show how excellent a man he must have been. His grand conception of God was very much unlike that of the other Egyptian kings. The lecture was particularly interesting juit now, when in the excavations in Egypt so many Treasures are being unearthed.
