DR.. HOLLANDS LECTURE.-At an early hour
last evening the Meodeou was filed with the lis
teners to DR.. Houand's lecture upon American So
cial Life. Dr. Holland is a tall, commanding per-
son, with good voice and line delivery. His mod
ulation is pleasant and appropriate, which with
easy gestures adds much TO the pleasure of listen
ing to the utterance of his eloquent thoughts We
can give but meagre outline of his discourse, and
regret that we connot do justice to the subject and
the speaker.
He said there are in our minds and thoughts ideas
that, Ike the nebulous stars, shine very family,
and give no warmth, but that would if traced TO
their sources, give light and heat to all around
The combination Of many Of these nebulous
thoughts form The features of social life. The So
cal lie is Ike the Bantam tree many units and yet
but one. As each branch OF that tree is in one
sense a tree in ITSELF and again part Of the irs-
parent tree, 50 is each member OF community. As
the unfinished Washington monument is made up
of blocks from the several State, 50 our national
life is made up of the lettered blocks of past ages
We live on the results of past ages. We drink
from well six thousand years deep, walled up
with the records of Empires. We are literary
people, ald amid such food as our authors give US
there IS no lack OF food for American Social Life
But how is this food used Politics does not bring
a single particle Of food to this life, neither does re-
ligi0n, and in truth all really noble and ennobling
topics are tqBocd flom that life But one thing can
ever bring the mass Of humanity together, and that
| is tolerati0H We need, too, social atmosphere
such as existed forty fifty years ago. This az
mosphere must be induced by stimuli Of some kind.
| This stimuli must be practicable and simple. a
great mistake has been made when in cityor coun-
try the exhilerating amusements which are neces-
soy to insure genial social life are entirely in the
hands Of those opposed to Christianity. It is not
so in France and Germany, for there the church
administers TO the amusements of tie people and
| there is the gleatest amount Of social enjoyment
aad life. Religion should add to the justifabe
pleasurabe excitements of our life, and not frOwn
upon them. Let hospitality shine out from every
home. Let simple and innocent pleasures abound,
There is no way by which men and women can
love Zach othorsayc by knowing each other. It is
the duty Of all positively good clements Of society
to promote the social life of America. This CEN
mingling OF all the homogeneous elements Of so
ciety, and their meeting upon the common basis oi
humanity and love, alone can give us that social
life which it should b. tie aim Of every household
to acquire.
The lecture was full of eloquent passages and
striking thoughts. DR.. Holland evidently pIactic
es on his teachings, and enjoys life. lie is il
favor of all rational amusemcnts, and believes tn,
American people work too hard and uninterrupt
edly The hour devoted to the lecture seemed {
short one to tile audience ard the earnest attention
