Savonarola lecture contrasts Florence rise with modern saloon threat
Dr Northrup opened a series of Sunday evening sermons with Savonarola as his topic. He described Florence from San Miniato, contrasted Renaissance pew learning with moral decline, and warned that Christ’s reign failed where selfishness and lack of faith persisted. A future line links Florence to local civic issues and the city’s saloon problem. An ad promotes safety deposit boxes at Waterloo Savings Bank.
