went 10 the West to fulfill a few engage
rnents had there, wit1no expectation or desire
to make a noise, or attracting crowds. Had
such been my wish, i should have selected some
other subject than science and its religious bear
ip5ess e. But / trusted that j should find, minds
that take delight in tracing ont the works God
and the iaffn0nies of science with religion; and
found them. Most of the lecture evenings
were indeed EXTREMITY forbidding, either from
excessive cold or storms. But such evenings
as dFca apt to bring together such audiences as 1
lile.viz; those who take an interest in the sub
jectsi It will not be crammcd house, such as
win be gathered when an elephant, n MerTy-Anl

but certainly at the West it will be respectable
for numbers and character; and Ihaye no where
else, addressed moro attentive and dccorcus, and
apparently more intelligent audiences ftsf.
Lectling in tho large towns at tho West has
become an important agency. 1t is even the
fashionable way in may places OF spending an
hour or two each week. The most respectable
people not merely speak well of itas means of
good to their children and families but they at
tend themselves, which is not always the case
at the East To provide the right sort of lectur-
ers and put the whole machinery into operation,
requires on the part of somebody greatdeal of
labor. The men whosubmit to this'd deserve the
gratitude of the community. Many connected
with the great benevolent societies Of the day
areltnown to the public by name, who yet arc
doing much less for its welfare than the Presi-
dents and Secretaries fthe Lyceum, Athenmum,
and Young Mems Christian Associations at the
West 49, =
L do not expect ever TO visit the West again,
or even to go there; but 1 can assure others
whoMill, that ifthey fall into the hands Of such
men as have, and into such associations, they
will find fields Of usefulness worthy of their
highest efforts, and the retrospect among the
most pleasant Of their earthly, experience.
