the people are provincial ana narrow IL
ideas. Locality and old grooves assert
their power. the mold Of ancient as

The lesson is very broad one. The
Centennial Exhibition in its extent and
universally is a city within itself-the
worlds city, wherein are exhibited the
very best specimens of every important
modern and ancient human industry
And here, side by side, are the contrasts
between savage and skilled lsbor-the

and out of it all the lesson that man.
in whatever condition, has made the
very best Of his surroundings-turned
his hand to the best that was within his
scope. his aspirations and his reach.
And then, to the careful observer, there
is the stupsndous lesson of great gath

perate and more decorous than ever be-

ness; little impatience; no Haunting,
shameless depravities of either sex to
shock the sense these are capital re-

The more evident lesson of What Man
has Done embraces width and depth
and wealth of teaching that cannot be
too highly valued The vastness of the
system, the thoughtfulness for the minor
details, the subsection Of every depart

these also are invaluable lessons. Like
wise it is we'll to have ones self-conse-
quence diminished by the contrasts and
contacts which to the reflective mind are
unavoidable. The mere writer Of words
or compiler Of ideas who does not in the
presence of the sublime conceptions and
fabrics of Machinery Hall feel sense Of
personal humility and comparative in
significance, must be blest with an i'm
pregnable self-complacence bordering
upon the infinite.

is conscious Of their crudeness and fear
full of their being regarded in the light of
intrusions. Nothing is less welcome
than travellers vain-glory and boast
fulness. One may, with wisdom. return
home from the contemplation of vast
subjects and objects in condition of
thoughtfulness and
with an impression of his own lessened
importance as one Of the factors of
society.

We extract as follows. Summing up his
opinion of Beecher he boldly and un-
says;
In view, there fore, of the whole case
as thus far uniolded, l heartily adopt
and endorse the unanimous result of the |
late Advisory Council in their well ex-
pressed terms: "We hold the pastor of |
this church, as we and all others are |
bound to hold him. innocent of the |
charges reported against him, until they |
have been substantiated by proof; and,
therefore, we continue to extend to him |
our Christian fellowship and sympathy |
We exhort him to commit the keeping Of |
his soul to God in well doing as unto
faithful Creator; and wherever he pros
ecutes his work, to illustrate in his de-
meanor the meekness of his wisdom
l will only add that, in my opinion,
The further prosecution of this matter
by parties unlimited, outside of Ply
