slr Moody recently said in Chi

Rev. w. L. Clark, of New York,
preached sermon lately, taking
Mr.. Moody's remark for his text.
Mr.. Clark said-.'SO are Il great
many other people, as we'll as Mr..
Moody, sick of the word duty.
Every thief and bride taker in
Washington, and every blatant
demagogue out of it. is tired and
sick of the word; every rascal and

likes duty as the murderer lilies
hemp. Duty is that which man
ought to do; what is best for him
and everybody else. 1t is squaring
conduct by conscience. 1t is ADJ
justing life in accord with the moral
gravitatien and spiritual dynamicS
of the globe. The difficulty with
the Church religion is that the moral
anatomy is left out of it. 1t is
pulpy, sloppy, gelatinous mass OF
useless sentimentality. 1t some
times seems that popular Christian
ity is a religion for towards and
sneaks 1t dogmatizes and dreams
where it ought to do. True religion
is truth applied to life. The ques
ton whether Deity is one or three
is of less Importance to this city
than who shall be the next mayor.
Whether God is a personal sover
eign or an impersonal force is of ii
thousand times less consequence to
any man than what he eats for
breakfast. Better be an atheist
with Feurbach, or a materialist with
Huxley, or an idcalist with Emer
son, and live sweetly, gel erOusly
and honorably with all men, than ii
canting professor of any creed, or a
Christian statesman exacting tithes
of poor clerks with one hand, and
demoralizing the nation with SPOTS
with the other. All religion that
doesn't blossom in a rich. useful.
beautiful life, is lie. Duty is the
only door of the one true fold, and
whoever tries to climb up some
! other way will have his labor fol

A Great National Work.

The Illustrated Histcry Of tie Cen
teaaiaI Exhibition. rith full des
cription Of the Great Buildings and
all the objects of interest Exhibited IN
them. By James ID. McCabe, author
of "The Centennial History Of the
United States" Ec. Embelkshed
acith orer 800 tine eagrarings Of build
ings and scenes in the Great EThi-
bitiOR.
The National Publishing Co. of
Philadelphia and st. Louis, have
issued a handsome volume bearing
the above title. The intense inter
est everywhere manifested in the
great Exhibition, and the desire to
obtain a complete and connected
account of it, will unquestionably
cause this book to have IL very ex
tensive sale.
This History Of the Centennial
Exhibition is not a dry list of the
articles exhibited. II is IL superb
volume of S74 pages, from the zen
of one of the most popular authors
of the day. Mr.. McCabe received
the constant and sympathetic assis-
lance of the Centennial authorities,
and enjoyed peculiar advantages in
the preparation of this work. He
went, note book in hand, through
every department of the Exhibition.
and the result of his labOrs is a
work Astounding in brilliant descrip
tons of the great Worlds Fair. lie
traces the history of the great enter
prise from its inception to its tri
umphant closing day. He then
takes us through every part of the
Exhibition grounds, giving brilliant
accounts of every building and other
feature of interest within them. We
are taken through the Main Build
ing Machinery Hall, the Agricul
tural and Horticultural Halls, the
Art Gallery, the Government Build
ing, and all the other structures.
and our deepest attention is held
all the time by the descriptions of
the rare and beautiful objects con-
tailed in them.
The book is written with a vigor
and brilliancy which render it a
complete and life like picture of the
great Worlds Fair, and which make
it invaluable to all classes of our
people. To those who have visited
the Exhibition it will be pleasing
souvenir of their visit, and enable
them to recall the magnificent scenes
they have witnessed. To those who
could not make the journey. the
book is necessity, for it will enable
theul to enjoy the delights of d
thorough acquaintance with the
great Exhibition in the quielude OF
their own homes.
There is not another book in print
which gives one fourth of the infor
nation contained in this work. II
is superbly illustrated. and the pric.
is so low that all can afford to secure
copy. The book is sold by sub
scription only, and the publishers
want agents in every county.
