Or, Lord on King solomon.

At the Congregational church on Sunday
evening, DR.. John Lord delivered dis
course on King Solomon, to an audience
which filled the house nearly to its utmost
capacity The discourse was the greatest
intellectual treat which the gentleman has
given in Rutland.
He dwelt in the opening upon the worst
type Of colomon's nature as portrayed in
his idolatry, which was likcned to him who
reigncd in France during the last century |;
in his cynlcism like to that of Louis XIV,
and in his safety which deprived him OF
appetite and prepared the way for his sue
cessor. He passed away from lite without
regret at tho age of GO, and Reheboam
reigned in his stead The greatest writer's
have puzzled over the question whether he
repented at the last, while the Christian
world fails to see how he should have died
without making his peace with God. But
upon this subject the scriptures are silent,
and who can penetrate the mystery?
That he was the most enlightened mon
srch of all ages there can be no doubt ;
that he passed the greater part OF his life
with honor TO himself there is no question,
but calamity saddened bis latter days and
prosperity deserted his house. He was
wise and honorable, a man of power and
glory, but he was not faithful unto death.
Prosperity ovorpowercd him and pleas
ures deserted him 30 that his his,
tory presents the saddest record OF
the Bible. He was exalted to the
highest pinnacle of earthly glory and de-
scended into the lowest abyss Of shame.
But his writings will he cherished as among
the greatest herltages Of genius. In the
fervid piety of the oath Psalm we find an
especial solace. Ths writings of Solomon
are generally accepted as the most precious
gems of tho old testament, stamped witt
the seal of inspiration. 1t is for thest
writings that his influence is to be per
manent in the world His experiences viii
remain for our guide throughout all genera
tions. How frail and perishablc is maj
and how lasting are the truths endowed
with inspiration from the Almighty! Thu
poets live when they are buried in igno
minious graves thus science inspires tn
world though the lives of its eTpounder
ere protest against their precepts. Thes
sTsat thoughts live though he who utter
them 10 snslayed by vice.

The fourth lecture in DR.. Lorls admir-

the fret lecture OF the Doctors in which he
enters the field of science And no more
interesting subject than that of Calico
could be chosen in this department of his
Investigations. Calico. in opposition to
the learning and religion of lis times,
taught new and true views in astronomy.
There were then multitudes Of Deacon
Homespuns, however, who knew that the

turn over, without spillng out their mill
ponds. Calico told them different story,

Mr.. u. G. Sherman, of the firm Of Burt
& shGm Of this place, was surprised on
his return to Rutland, from his wedding
trip, on Thursday evening last, by the re
ceipt of an elegant souUenir of friendship
and esteem from few of his Rutland as
.ociates. The present was an ice pitcher,
two goblcts, a alop-bowlaand tray-all of
solid silver and handsomely engraved. On
the pitcher was this inscription "E. G.
Sherman, from his Rutland associates" A
framed card bears the names of the sixteen
doners, most Of whom have been his fell
low-boarders at the Bates House for some
time past and this testimonial of their con-
tinued goodwill to their old friend, on his
accession to the title of a "Bcnedict,' can
not but serve rs pleasing reminder of his
bachelor days.

cism aud despair. His writings were not
the divine revelation given to Moses or the
vision of the prophets respecting the future
glory of the soul they do not kindle the
awe like the medtations Of Job, but they
are such transcendsut substitutes that we
asoept than as more than human teach
ings. On no subject is there less agree

from tho fact that they are foreign to our
Thoughts and expression. They still ie-
main q mystery and some even doubt that
they were written by Solomon. The Ger
man critics dsiuce from them the idea that
they ere nothing higher than the express
sons of physical love, equal to those of the
Greek poets. But we must entitle them to
more meaning or they are disgrace to the
Bible an insllt to the religious convictions
of mankind, and no one but those of blunt
cd sense would SO deem them. The
speaker believed with Origen, Roscius
and ouart, that they contained profound
and instructive lessons, symbolical of love
between Christ and His church, than the
paintings of mortal passion. If this poem
is the work of Solomon in bis early days,
the Proverbs ore the work Of the profound
observations of his life when interrupted
by prosperity. They seem imbued with the
mortal wisdom recognising the immutable
principles of righteousness and truth. They
are sometimes weak, oflentimes ironical,
always forcible. lie never separates wis
dom from virtue. In some of the Proverbs
there is an awfnl solemnity. The sins OF
idlness, of covotOusness, gossip, falsehood,
intemperance and unchastity are held forth
ae denominations in the sight of God, while
prudence, chastity, charity, obedience to
parents and loyalty to truth are enjoned
upon all men who believe in God. The
Book of Proverbs il ineXhaustible in wis
dom, a fitting study for old age, The
olrus of mortal wisdom.
In striking contrast with these praises of
wisdom and virtue are his writings IN the
Book of Ecclesiastes, in the decline of
life Here il n commentary upon the va
riety of all worldly things, written by a
cynic, as il the soul of Solomon was
plunged in despair and he sought to pour
contempt on all enjoyment. In his de-
spair he afllrms that there is nothing better
for man than to eat and drink the race is
not to the swift nor the battle to the
strong nor riches to the man of under
standing, or favor to the man of skill. This
was the test Of the most flattered and fa-
vorcd of men, to whom God had given
everything, yet who says everything is van
ity and vexation of spirit
The lessons to be drawn from Solomons
experience were many and important. His
teachings oecm like the voice Of inspiration
of one who had tasted all mortal good, and
declared them all vanity, a delusion, a
snare. The love of God alone giveth plea
sure that is laaiing. This was instanccd in
the lives of great men of all times and in
the experiences of everyday life, in langu-
age which cannot be fittiugly reproduced.

Another Minister Criminally Charged.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 10.
A large number of persons assembled at
Raines' Hall tonight TO hear Rev. Daniel
Sommers, pastor of the Dolphin street
Christian church, read statement written
by him covering charges of alleged gross
immortality and unministerial conduct gen
orally, against Rev. Alfred N. Gilbert, pas
tor of the Paca street Christian church.
The audience included members of both
congregations. and considerable feeling was
manifested. One of Gilbert's friends arose
and interrupted the reading by pronounc-
ing the statement an infamous lie. AT the
conclusion of the reading another of Gil
bert's parishioners declared that the charges
were wholly false, and that Rev. Mr.. Gil
bert would in good time fully vindicate his
character. Some confusion ensued. At
one time there was every indication that
the meeting would wind up in row.

cut his own throat. Jones was married
and had grown-up children. The two fam

doubtless premeditated las it was. done with a
razor which he had taken with him from
his house in Somervillc. There were no
witnesses to the terrible affair, the balance
of the Barry family being at church. The
bodies were found about halt-past three
