The topic for Yesterday afternoon was
HARD WORK: MADE EASY,
By E. A. Burnell, ot@ Aurora, who said
that, since the days the forbidden fruit
waa eaten IN the Garden Of Eden
to the present hour, hard work has been the
rule, and success always and everywhere has
come from hard work, 'and hard work only. 1t
is said that Thomas Jefferson was not once
found In bed at sunrise for full half-century.
Next to the Word OF God is Buuyan's " Pill
grin's Progress" written in prison at the end
OF uumeasured toll, and surrounded by the
most adverse circumstances. Elihu Burritt,

iceaple life has but just closed, vas man Of in
domtable hard work, and acquired d real love
for toll. John WananaGer, the acknowledged
American merchant, lovesdetau and the closest
application. He told uS q few weeks siuce that
he> was happy in his,. work, aud felt that
be was born for business and its care.
The theme is :. Hard Work Made Easy" aud Mr.
Wanamaker is case that notably illustrates,

known. Nineteen years ago the speaker first
saw the girlish-faced Young man as Secretary OF

years later is seen the cheerful and contented
face in the midst Of all the care OF two immense
mercantile establishments, and on the Sabbath
the joyful leader Of Bethany Sunday school.
In our late Centennial, Of the weeks stay, the
Sabbath was the day Of days because Of the 5000
people looked upon and addressed at Bethany.
