Excused,
Mr.. Smith said that though we are inclined
to disparage the past, it possesses much that 5
worthy of attention. Especially is this true
of the age of Elizabeth. The age was remark
able. The Sovereign was no less so. Though
varying opinions are formed OF her character,
when viewed in the light of her successful
reign she must be regarded as the greatest of
English Sovereigns. The impulse which the
human mind received from the revival of
letters affected the ruler by mingling the
modes Of thought and feeling OF the two ages.
The age of Elizabeth furnishes oxemplars for
us in every field of action.
The general analys sis of Mr. fuller's arti-
Gle was nearly as follows: Grec,an literature
is so closely interviewer in the history, arts,
philosophy poetry, eloYuence, &C., that il
has and must constitute an imperishable Ian
guage which has supplied and must ever sup
ply most fitting medium for the transmits
sion of the life and teaching of the Savior.
Webster said that curiosity WAS the source
of science. 1t searches tor causes. attempts
to discover laws of Nature, draws differences
from these as to the character of the Creator
Many of the theories of science have been
proved false The statements of science at
the present time are not TO be relied upon as
absolute truth, but liable to be disproved. He
said that the testimony Of science was not to
be received as it bears hpon the validity OF
revelation.
Mr. Kelley said that adversely develops the
intellectual and moral powers. Without its
use no true character can be formed
Mr.. Weston was the next speaker. The
reign of law in Mature is the one grand truth
that is emerging from moderate thought and
speculation. The study of the natural
! sciences has been chiefly conducive to this re-
suit. The controversy concerning the reign
of law in the realm of mind is one of great
magnitude. The opinions of liberal philoso-
pliers on this point are not to be ridiculed
Education, inherited tendency and well au-
thenticated revelation demand place in the
economy of Nature for supernatural events.
But such events are subject to law. The
reign of law neither destroys revelation nor
