this gigantic agent, he employed it to con-
struct palaces, to atn0ss treasures, TO battle
armies, aud to triumph over foes, until, at
the close of the wonderful story, the owner
OF the wonderful lamp is the sovereign of a
peaceful empire, assured to his remote pos

Gentlemen, that story is n type of labor at
the command OF knowledge. When we first

genius solely to our common and physical
wants; but us we are accustomed to the
presence of that spirit winch We have SUM

to resolve. knowledge has brought us force
TO face with it, aud knowledge must either
