their number, however, was troubled
with some compunctious visitings. and
managed Ia convey Ia the worthy Pres

Instead Of pay ing any heed To this sug.
gestion. the doctor proceeded on the
appointed night tn the carriage. house.
and cnsconccd his portly person inside
the vehicle. In less than an hour some
hall dozen Young gentleman came tn his
retreat and cautiously Withdrew the
carriage in q the road. When they
were fairly out of the college precincts
they began to joke freely with each
other by name.
One e Them complained of the weight

swearing it was heavy enough to have
the old fellow himself inside. For
nearly n mile they proceeded along the
highway, and then struck into the
woods to a cover which they concluded

This noted English divine preached
his first sermon in America, in Boston,
ON Sunday, September 22d, He ron
trasted the religions of the East and
the West. and in closing said:
have spoken thus far of the general
contrast between the East and the West.
between the children of Shcm and the
children Of Japhet. between the sacred
regions of Asia and the sacred regions
of Europe. l have tried to point out
that here, rs elsewhere in the gospel.
that which was last has become first:
that which seemed secular has become
more holy tn an that which seemed most
sacred; that the things of Caesar are not
separate from the things Of God, and
that by giving tn Cesar the things
VIII oh are Caesars We in that very act
give to God the things which are Gods.
Thus far what | have said Is applica-
bic to the whole Eastern world On the
other side Of the ocean us we'll AS to
the Western world on this side. In
this respect we are all the common chill
dren Of the mighty n,tions which form
cd the center of the civilization and
history Of mankind. But does not ev-
cry word that has been uttered acquire
u deeper force to the son of that old
world when, standing here for the first
