DIR. HEDGES LECTURE.-Rev DR.. Hedge
OF Brookline, Mass, delivered the Sd lecture
OF the NJ. L. course to very full house, last
evening. His subject was "Feudalism, or Life
In the Middle Age" 1t was an elaborate pro-
duction, the result of extensive reading and
much thought, but it seemed to us the COM
parison of the individual, personal condition of
the actors of that age with that of the actors of
the present, was unnecessarily full of paradoxes.
and not calculated to increase the respect of
the audience for the good judgment of the lee
turer. 1t seemed too much like an attempt to
disparage all the material and intellectual pro-
gress of our age, because of the abuses Of
blessings SO lamentably prevalent, while the
old knights, feudal lords and vassas were al
lowed more credit than they deserve, simply
because their grossness is less distinctly visible
than their gliding and glitter. The lecture
was an able one, notwithstanding its defects.
There will be no lecture on Christmas On New
Years weeks. The next lecture will on We'd
nesday, Jan. 18th.
