producing flesh, thorns producing thorns, figs
. producing figs, &c. &c., he observed that the

parents-that the children will be no better

that as an intellectual being man is not essen

might be very good christian Religion exert
ed but little influence over the faculties. 1t did
not give mathematical knowledge or take 1t
away. The old cosmopolitan philosopher whose
haven was under the wing OF ono of the sover-
gins Of Europe was just as acute in regard to
the things Of this world as though he was a
humble christian. Men could be poets, pain
ters, and philosophers without the grace Of God.
fhese were fruits OF the flesh. The flesh free
duently brought forth many ofthe virtues,
which he enumerated, remarklng that some
men In kindness, benevolence and humanity
greatly exceeded others who professed to be
christians. He regretted that there were some
VINO claimed to have been converted, who did
not hesitate to take usnrions interest, cheat,
and even lie. The world knew this and 1t
would be vain to deny 1t. He had no faith In
those who proiessed change of heart, and did
not change their steps. A man might be a
good citizen, upright, honest and virtuous and
not be christian. Some might place their
hopes OF salvation on their works, but they
would be doomed to disappointment. He re-
marked that men generally had religious sus-
cephbility, and congregation without this
feeling could not be reached any more than

adultery, blasphemy, aud bloodshed., After
some few observations on this head he concIud.

evening. Snbject " America, her past, present,

should say that Ned il out Of his sphere when he

sSrpuon OF the past of America prior 10 the landing
OF the "pale facesn among the cred men" who In |
babited this vast continent. Ho spoke of The un

iived-of the pence and harmony that reigned In

ton OF the wars and bloodshed that followed the
landing Of The whteiman and Of the almost extile-
uon Of the Indian rn,e. He then showed that these
eonquorers Jour forefathers In turn to be set
upon and themselves made the slaves OF kings and
potentates from other lands. CHANGING over the
past, he struck on the present He saidthe foreign
